Chapter 67 I’ll Look After
You
“Mm–hmm…” Eric’s nod was distant, his attention elsewhere until he suddenly tensed.
“Wait, a match? What are you suggesting?”
Nyla fixed him with a stern look. “Isn’t it obvious?”
It dawned on Eric immediately.
His annoyance flared. “Grandma, this can’t be your serious intention.”
Was this some sort of joke? Organizing a birthday gathering to showcase every suitable bachelor in Srixby for Hadley’s selection?
“Grandma.” Eric’s voice was laden with exasperation as he rubbed his temples. “Is there anyone in Srixby
unaware of my relationship with her?”
“Whose responsibility is that?” Nyla’s response was sharp and cold. “Had you treated her right, would I need to take such steps?”
“But, Grandma…”
“Stop,” Nyla interjected, her hand raised to silence him. “I’ve made up my mind. Without my interference, what if she finds herself yet another unsuitable older man?”
She shook her head in dismay. “We cannot let that happen again. Eric…” Her gaze met his, laden with remorse. “You pushed her away. Both of us did her wrong. It’s my duty to see she finds a good man who can take care of her; otherwise, I’ll find no peace even in death.”
“Grandma…” Eric was speechless, feeling defeated.
With no alternatives left, he let out a resigned sigh. “Alright, we’ll do it your way.”
Nodding with approval, Nyla confirmed her plans. “Excellent. Since Linda is away, you will oversee this. Ensure that every eligible young man from Srixby is invited.”
“Alright.”
The word came from Eric through clenched teeth, the effort seeming to cause him discomfort.
“And one more thing,” Nyla continued. “Keep this from Hadley for now. I want to secure the right suitor before we tell her.”
Finding the ideal match for Hadley wouldn’t be straightforward.
In the elite circles of Srixby, her past could lead to hesitations. Any immediate missteps might discourage her.
