Lord Moore nodded and remarked, “Indeed, the affluent and influential families hold a strong belief in Feng Shui and the eight characters. This belief embodies the essence of our heritage. As for the dregs in Southeast Asia, I have no respect for them at all.”
Donald responded, “From this perspective, it appears we are at a standstill in our investigation. It won’t be easy to uncover the perpetrator behind this incident!”
He then sped his hands together and added, “Uncle Moore, Sean and I n to remain in Aurous Hill for a few more days. We are here to investigate and seek any pertinent clues regarding my son’s sudden illness. If it’s not too much trouble, could we stay at your house during this time?”
Lord Moore smiled warmly and replied, “The Moore family has always enjoyed a strong friendship with the Webb family. There’s no need to be so formal about this minor request. Since you’re already here, I will dly host both of you. I’ll have the servants prepare two guest rooms for you shortly.”
The Moore family mansion was vast, with over a dozen rooms on the first floor alone. There were plenty of guest amodations avable, so it was no hassle for Lord Moore to offer Donald and Sean a temporary stay.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Hearing this, Donald felt a wave of joy and quickly expressed his gratitude. “Thank you for your generosity, Uncle Moore!”
He then turned to Sean, who had been quietly observing, and said, “Uncle Moore, I haven’t formally introduced my son to you yet. This is Sean, the future heir to the Webb family.”
Sean promptly bowed and respectfully stated, “Junior Sean wishes to express my respect to you, Grandpa Moore!”
Lord Moore smiled and nodded slightly, acknowledging, “It appears your eldest son, the grandson of the Webb family, is indeed quite talented and intelligent!”
Donald chuckled and replied, “Uncle Moore, you are too kind. In truth, your grandchildren are also remarkable individuals!”
He then sighed and added, “Especially Jasmine. I hadn’t seen her in years, and I hardly recognized her when she visited us at the hospital yesterday! She’s truly bing more beautiful and mature.”
Lord Moore responded with a smile, “Jasmine may seem mature and capable, but at heart, she’s still just a little girl.”
Donald nodded and then inquired, “Uncle Moore, Jasmine has reached marriageable age. Have you found a suitable husband for her yet?”
At that moment, Lord Moore thought of Charlie. Unfortunately, Charlie was already married to ire and was the son-inw of the Wilson family. Moreover, it seemed that Jasmine had not made any significant progress in her romantic life. Thus, he replied, “I haven’t arranged a marriage for Jasmine yet. I’m not in a rush since she’s still quite young.”
Donald quickly responded, “Uncle Moore, you should be a bit concerned about this. Time passes swiftly, and if you don’t address it this year, you’ll find yourself worrying about it next year and the year after. One day, you might realize it’s toote, and then you’ll be scrambling to find a son-inw, hoping they fall in love, discuss marriage, and start a family. Jasmine could be thirty by then!”
Lord Moore nodded in understanding and said, “You make a valid point. I will certainly consider your advice and talk to Jasmine about nning for her marriage sooner rather thanter.”
Deep down, Lord Moore was contemting how to use this conversation to encourage Jasmine to pursue Charlie without wasting any more valuable time.
Meanwhile, Donald felt he hadid the groundwork and could now address the topic directly.
With confidence, he stated, “Uncle Moore, since Jasmine and Sean are of simr age and can be seen as good friends ready for marriage, would you consider the idea of our families bing inws?”
Donald smiled, believing he had sessfully won over Lord Moore.
He felt certain that following his reasoning, Lord Moore would agree to the marriage proposal without hesitation.<fndf4c> Content originallyes from F?nd-Novel</fndf4c>
At that moment, Sean was also watching Lord Moore intently, anxious for his response.
However, to their surprise, Lord Moore immediately responded to Donald’s proposal.
“No!” He reiterated firmly, “Absolutely not!”
