Female Novel
Chapter 552
In these wealthy and powerful families, the girls would often get engaged when they were twenty yearsold.
Moreover, most of them would get married as soon as they graduated from college at the age oftwenty-two or twenty-three years old.
Therefore, Donald was hoping for Lord Moore to mention this matter directly to Jasmine. He was alsohoping that Lord Moore would directly ask Jasmine to accept the marriage proposal.
Most of the girls in these wealthy and powerful families were all aware of these family arrangements formarriage. As long as the elders in the family made the arrangements, the younger generation wouldnaturally obey them.
Lord Moore did not expect Donald to continue persisting even though he had already declined themarriage proposal directly.
Therefore, he could only chuckle and wave his hand as he said, “To be honest, Jasmine is still veryyoung, and I do not wish for her to be married yet. After all, her elder brother is not even married yet.”
At this time, Donald blurted out, “Boys can wait to get married even when they are older, but girlscannot do that! The latest age for them to get married is when they are at the age of twenty-four ortwenty-five years old. If a girl waits until she is thirty years old to get married, that would be greatlydiscounting her own value too!”
Lord Moore smiled faintly before he said, “For someone who sincerely likes Jasmine, it would notmatter to them if she is twenty-four or twenty-five years old when they get married. Even if she is thirty,forty, or fifty years old, Jasmine will still be happily married. However, if someone does not truly loveher, there would be a huge difference for them if they got married when she was twenty-five or twenty-six. Therefore, I only wish for my granddaughter to be happily married.”
Sean hurriedly spoke up at this time. “Grandpa Moore, if you are willing to let me marry Jasmine, Ipromise you that I will definitely love her and treat her well for the rest of my life!”
Lord Moore nodded before he said, “Of course I believe that you will treat her well. However, everythingdepends on Jasmine and I will not decide on her behalf.”
Donald felt a little upset.
He had already said so much and his son had even promised to love and take good care of hisgranddaughter, yet, he was still rejecting them. What did he mean by that? Was he looking down on theWebb family?
Donald was silent for a moment before he asked, “Uncle Moore, can I ask you a question? Since youkeep turning down my request, is it because you have a better candidate in mind to become the son-in-law of the Moore family instead?”
When Lord Moore saw that the other party was still persistent, he did not want to beat around the bushany longer. He wanted the other party to give up. Therefore, Lord Moore nodded before he replied,“Yes. I will not hide it any longer. I do have a strong candidate in mind.”
After that, he added, “Jasmine also has a candidate in her heart, and both of us feel the same wayabout the same person.”
Sean was extremely disappointed when he heard Lord Moore’s words. He had finally met a womanwho made his heart skip a beat. However, he never expected that her family would reject him, lookdown on him, and also reveal that she already had a person that she loved!
Donald was also very shocked and could not hide the anger that he was feeling toward Lord Moore atthis time.
Damn it! Did this terrible old man really have such high expectations that he even looked down on theWebb family? This was unbelievable!
As he thought about it, Donald frowned before he asked, “Uncle Moore, since this person can makeyou turn down the Webb family, he must be from a very wealthy and prestigious family in Eastcliff, am Iright?”
Lord Moore shook his head before he said, “No… that young man is just an ordinary man. He is notfrom any wealthy or prestigious family at all. In fact, if I remember correctly, he was an orphan whogrew up in an orphanage ever since he was eight years old.”
Donald became even angrier when he heard Lord Moore’s words, and he blurted out immediately,“How could an orphan who has no parents at all possibly be better than Sean?! Uncle Moore, what doyou see in him?”
Lord Moore laughed before he said, “Sometimes, people cannot be compared merely in terms ofwealth and their family background. Some people are naturally more capable and talented compared toothers.”
Donald frowned before he asked, “Uncle Moore, do you mean to say that Sean is not capable?”
“Of course not.” Lord Moore smiled as he continued speaking. “I meant to say that everyone alwayshas their own strengths and weaknesses. For instance, Sean could be very good in every aspect, buthe might not be able to play basketball. However, another person might not be good at anything at all,but he could be very good at basketball. If a girl is attracted to a guy because of his basketball skills, noone could say that Sean was not good in the first place. In truth, Sean was not weaker than the otherparty, but he only lost simply because the girl was attracted to a guy who could play basketball.”
At this time, Lord Moore’s inner thoughts were, ‘Damn it, Donald. Why do you have so much nonsenseto say? I have already said so much but you still refuse to retreat. Instead, you continue to argue andtry to justify your position in this matter. Do you really want me to tell you face to face that your son isnothing but shit in my eyes? Will you finally be satisfied then?!’novelbin
