Chapter 176 Affection And Irritation

Kristian's gaze settled on the screen as he pressed his thin lips into a firm line. "You're all at the age to think about settling down," he typed and sent.

Everyone's hearts instantly sounded the alarm. What was happening? Was Kristian attempting to nudge them toward matrimony?

"Sure, we're at the right age, but we have no plans to get married right now."

"Precisely!"

"Kristian, are you considering marriage yourself? If you need assistance, I'd be happy to introduce someone to

you."

"I can help with that too!"

Amid their flurry of responses, Kristian replied with composure, "I just spoke with my grandpa. He seems interested in introducing an eligible woman to all of you."

At this revelation, the group suddenly recalled how their own grandfathers had been raising this very topic with them recently.

They could typically deflect their family elders with various excuses, but if Lionel himself made the introductions, they would have no choice but to demonstrate respect, however reluctantly.

Frustration washed over them. Why did elders persistently push them toward marriage?

"Mr. Lionel Shaw remains as enthusiastic as ever, but I truly don't wish to burden him with such matters." "Exactly! This is such a minor issue-it's hardly worth troubling your grandpa, Kristian."

"Kristian, could you possibly help us avoid this situation?"

"We genuinely don't want to participate in blind dates right now."

Noting their collective resistance to the idea, Kristian recognized he had played his strategy perfectly. "He's not requesting that you attend blind dates-simply that you meet someone."

Everyone understood that "meeting someone" was merely a polite euphemism for blind dating.

Kristian elaborated, "As long as you don't linger around him afterward, I can help prevent this from happening. However, if you appear before him, there's nothing I can do."

"Thank you, Kristian."

"Tomorrow, after wishing him a happy birthday, I'll make myself scarce. 1 ***_
