Chapter 302
The family sat around shooting the breeze. time flew by quickly. Something suddenly crossed Erica's mind, she turned to Silvia, "Hey, Silvia. You started working, and you're not getting any younger. It's about time you think about finding someone."
Silvia’s smile remained polite, “I'm not in a rush. I've just started working and I want to focus on that for now. Once I get settled, I'll start thinking about that."
"That won't do. Both finding a partner and work are important. While you're young and have a lot of options, you should be meeting more guys. Give it a shot, if it doesn't feel right. there are plenty of other fish in the sea. But after 25, you'll be the one getting picked over."
Ashley, who had been absorbed in her phone, glanced up mischievously, "Exactly! Silvia, date around. How will you know what's out there if you don't try? I used to think only my brother is good, but once I gave others a chance, I realized it wasn't so bad.”
Ines found it amusing that Ashley was so invested in Silvia's love life. "Yeah, Ashley has a point. Silvia, one of these days Phillip can introduce you to some young guys from the Meyer Mansion. They're all top-notch, and a good match for you. But if you're net into military guys. your aunts here can set you up. They know a ton of people from all walks of life, and they'll surely find someone right for you." Phillip said.
Silvia’s smile finally faltered, and she looked helplessly at Phillip, "Phillip, don't add fuel to the fire, I can look out for myself."
Phillip. looking like a world-weary soul, said, "You're just like the rest of the single folks under 25. Wanting to find someone on your own, not into matchmaking. But once you start working, your social circle limits. You'll get tired of seeing the same faces, and there won't be any potential for relationships.”
"Phillip's got a point. Starting tomorrow I'll set you up with someone under 28. Can't have them much older or you might run out of things to talk about." Erica said.
Silvia was speechless. Before she could muster a response, Lauren threw another question at her, “Silvia, just spit it out, do you already have someone you like?"
Quickly, Silvia responded, "No, I just got back to the country. There's no way I could possibly have anyone I like."
"If Silvia doesn't have someone on her mind and she's not against matchmaking, then I'll start looking for suitable guys for her tomorrow. I'll exhaust all resources I can find, hoping that our family can hold a wedding soon.” Lauren said, her face lighting up with joy.
"Also, Silvia, I want to give you a heads up. I'll be planning your future wedding. I'll treat you like my own daughter and make sure your wedding is a showstopper.” Erica was very much concerned about this, because Silvia's position was somewhat awkward. Her constant presence around Ines made her uncomfortable
"We also have a lot of talented young men at our office, I can introduce you to some of them if you'd like." Jacob chimed in.
Upon hearing Jacob's words, Ines burst into laughter, not expecting him to join in on the conversation.
"What's Izzy laughing at?” Phillip frowned, looking at Ines puzzlingly.
Ines smiled, "Now I get why Ethan went on those blind dates. If you guys were setting him up every week, he'd have no choice but to give in.” Silvia wasn't their blood relative, but they cared for her so much. It would be much more interesting if it was Ethan.
Ethan gently stroked Ines’ hair, whispering in her ear, “Izzy, that was my life not too lang ago, it was truly torturous.”
Erica was sitting next to them, so she heard hiny~Ethan, how could you describett as ‘being stuck between axrock and a hard place’? If we didn'tpush you to go on blinds dateschow would you have met: zzyRHow would you have twins ye) soon? This only proves thatwe made the right decision. Regardless of the method, single people should meet more. Izzy, don't you agree?"
Ines smiled, "Yes, you're absolutely right."
Erica beamed at Ines' response. Ashley, not ofie to shy away from stirring the pot, knowingly said to . Ines, ‘Izzy, you can laugh, but yous should:know that being single I isa problem. We're all trying so hard ite) set Silvia up, you should helpras her frend. Otherwise, she'll be-calling you friend for nothing.” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

She turned to Ethan, "Bro, you should act like a big brother and help your sister solve her personal problems.”
Since Ines had told him about it, he understood what Ashley was implying. He said resignedly, “Got it, you're the only chatterbox in the family.”
"How am I a chatterbox? I'm just concerned about Silvia. If it were some stranger, do you think I'd bother saying a word?” Ashley rolled her eyes, but her features were so delicate that any expression only added to her charm and playfulness.
“Alright, no matter what we say. it's up to Silvia. If she doesn't agree, all our efforts are in vain.” Erica said, her smile fading. "So, Silvia, what do you think?" Phillip, finding Erica's words sensible, decided to ask for Silvia's opinion directly.
Silvia looked a bit off. But with everyone's eyes on her, if she rejected outright, it would only raise suspicions about her intentions. So, she smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you all.”
"Silvia, do you have any specific hopes or demands for your future better half? If yes, spill the beans, so we can do a better job finding your Mr. Right.” Erica said.
Silvia pondered a bit before
