Though Everly had been raised to be outstanding and was capable enough to succeed him, Kaden still worried about Everly.There were too many predators out there, and Everly was single, while Maddie was not able to stand on her own two feet. He was really worried Everly could not handle it if he passed on.He enthusiastically arranged blind dates for Everly so he could find her a helper, but it was difficult because his standards were too high. Now, he finally found Sonny, who fulfilled all his requirements.Thus, Kaden was doing his best to matchmake them.Maddie chimed in, agreeing, “Everly, your grandfather is right. Mr. Brown looks like a reliable man, and he has a good family background. He’s capable in his own right, and we can tell he has a good character too.“He doesn’t have to marry into the family. As long as you two get married, he’ll protect you. With him protecting you even when we’re gone, we’ll be able to rest in peace.”Everly replied in exasperation, “Grandpa, Mo

Everly replied, “Mom, I don’t like wearing dresses. It’s very inconvenient.”She looked to her grandfather and, with a hint of complaint, she said, “Grandpa, you know I don’t like wearing dresses, and yet you still asked Mr. Brown to bring this dress and this set of jewelry to me. Wearing it makes me look like a nouveau riche.“A suit is more comfortable, after all. Don’t make me wear this again.”Kaden chided, “You don’t look like a nouveau riche. You have a graceful disposition, and with the jewelry on, you look elegant. You look womanly from the way you’re dressed up tonight. Your mother’s right. Women should dress like women.“Mr. Brown, what do you think? Does Everly look better in a suit or a dress?”Kaden threw the ball to Sonny.Sonny replied, “I think Ms. Everly is lovely enough to pull anything off.“Actually, there’s no need to bother about what others think of you. You’re wearing the clothes, so only you can say if it’s suitable or comfortable for you. As long as it’

Maddie stopped trying to run the shops after failing to manage them well, so she simply rented them out, earning a living from rentals.Either way, she did not need the money. Kaden would give her a monthly allowance for household expenses, which was enough. She was also able to withdraw a considerable amount every month from the family trust fund, and her daughter would give her some money from time to time too.Even if she closed down the small companies and lived off the money Kaden and Everly gave her, she would still be able to maintain a luxurious lifestyle.Her in-laws were well-off, and her daughter was their only scion. In the future, all of it would be her daughter’s. Everly might not listen to her, but she would not abandon Maddie and would definitely take care of her mother in her old age.That was why Maddie could not be bothered to mess around with a business. After all, it was said that the fastest road to ruin was starting a business. She did not want to be the mada

Traffic was light late into the night. They arrived at the Flemming residence after about ten minutes or so.Sonny parked the car but did not honk. It was late, and the neighbors had gone to bed. Honking would have disturbed them.Outdoor lamps lit up the yard, and the lights were still on in the main building. Sonny guessed Kaden had not gone to sleep yet and was waiting for his granddaughter’s return.He turned to wake Everly. “Ms. Flemming, we’re here.”Everly woke up almost immediately. She said after taking a look, “Press the doorbell, and someone should come out to open the gate. We have live-in domestic staff.”The Flemmings had few family members, but the house was huge. If only three people lived there without live-in employees, it felt too empty.Everly was about to get out of the car, but Sonny already took off his seatbelt and got out first.He pressed the doorbell.Very soon, someone came to open the gate.When he saw it was Sonny sending Everly back home, the emp

Meanwhile, the beautifully dressed Everly had also shattered people’s preconceptions about her, and many men sidled over to say hi to her, get her number, and offer their name cards.Everly did not give out her number and only accepted the name cards, which she received many of in one night; not more than Sonny, though.Once the banquet ended and they got into the car, Everly told Sonny, “This is the first time I’ve ever been this popular with the opposite sex, after all these years of attending all sorts of events with my grandfather.”Sonny chuckled as he drove. “You weren’t as unapproachable tonight, so everyone became a little bit braver, mainly because you really are beautiful tonight.”“Am I usually that unapproachable?”“Quite. Definitely couldn’t call you approachable.”Everly thought for a moment, then admitted, “Maybe I was a little unapproachable. I’m just used to putting on a stern face because of work, so it gave people the impression I was standoffish.”It was more

Harrison led Everly and Sonny into the house and went straight to Arndt.Arndt was a little younger than Kaden and still in excellent health. Dressed in a suit, he looked no older than his early sixties.Several of Clearfield’s big names in the business world were gathered around him. They were all considerably younger than Arndt and treated him with the utmost respect. The Lang family’s standing in Clearfield was on par with the Flemmings.The Lang family was much larger too. Arndt had three sons and two daughters, and his children had given him more than a dozen grandchildren.Kaden had always been envious of this old friend of his. He envied Arndt’s large family. In the Flemming family, he only had one child, and Everly was his only grandchild.Arndt’s grandsons were far too young to be a match for Everly. Otherwise, the two families might have become in-laws. Kaden had even joked that the Langs would bring liveliness to the Flemming family as well.After visiting the Yorks in
