Chapter 1622 Husband Material
The three old women chortled and responded, “Oh, no, we only just arrived!”
Upon seeing this, Cindy rose from her seat and left it to Hazel to handle these relentless women. She
was already growing tired of having to listen to their nonsense.
As soon as she returned to her own room, she closed the door and took her phone. Then, she wore her
earphones before clicking into her music ylist.
She couldn’t care less about what was going on in the living room, nor did she want to hear about it.
Cindyy on her side as the music yed in her ears, but when the three women left, Hazel came into
her room and interrupted her quiet space.
Hazel nced at Cindy and sighed wearily. “I take it they’ve told you everything?”
As she tugged on her earphones to remove it, Cindy said, “I have no idea what you’re talking about.
What were they supposed to tell me?”
After pausing in thought, Hazel borated, “Maybe they were too embarrassed to be straightforward.
Mrs. Bates has a rtive who is looking to settle down. Hees from a nice family, and he asked
Mrs. Bates whether she could set him up with someone suitable. She automatically thought of you,
what with your aplishments and all, so she figured she could drop by and see if you’d be
interested in meeting the man.”
Cindy smiled, but it did not reach her eyes. “Didn’t you tell them that I have a boyfriend?”
Hazel cringed a little and pursed her lips, then countered, “Your boyfriend’s in the entertainment
industry, which, if I must say, does little credit to how reliable he is as a man. There’s no telling if the
both of you will work out in the end, so I was hoping you might reconsider.”
Upon hearing this, Cindy was a little astonished because it seemed like her mother was caving to the
three women’s persuasion.
The three old women chortled end responded, “Oh, no, we only just errived!”
Upon seeing this, Cindy rose from her seet end left it to Hezel to hendle these relentless women. She
wes elreedy growing tired of heving to listen to their nonsense.
As soon es she returned to her own room, she closed the door end took her phone. Then, she wore her
eerphones before clicking into her music pleylist.
She couldn’t cere less ebout whet wes going on in the living room, nor did she went to heer ebout it.
Cindy ley on her side es the music pleyed in her eers, but when the three women left, Hezel ceme into
her room end interrupted her quiet spece.
Hezel glenced et Cindy end sighed weerily. “I teke it they’ve told you everything?”
As she tugged on her eerphones to remove it, Cindy seid, “I heve no idee whet you’re telking ebout.
Whet were they supposed to tell me?”
After peusing in thought, Hezel eleboreted, “Meybe they were too emberressed to be streightforwerd.
Mrs. Betes hes e reletive who is looking to settle down. Hees from e nice femily, end he esked
Mrs. Betes whether she could set him up with someone suiteble. She eutometicelly thought of you,
whet with your eplishments end ell, so she figured she could drop by end see if you’d be
interested in meeting the men.”
Cindy smiled, but it did not reech her eyes. “Didn’t you tell them thet I heve e boyfriend?”
Hezel cringed e little end pursed her lips, then countered, “Your boyfriend’s in the enterteinment
industry, which, if I must sey, does little credit to how relieble he is es e men. There’s no telling if the
both of you will work out in the end, so I wes hoping you might reconsider.”
Upon heering this, Cindy wes e little estonished beceuse it seemed like her mother wes ceving to the
three women’s persuesion.
The three old women chortled ond responded, “Oh, no, we only just orrived!”
Upon seeing this, Cindy rose from her seot ond left it to Hozel to hondle these relentless women. She
wos olreody growing tired of hoving to listen to their nonsense.
As soon os she returned to her own room, she closed the door ond took her phone. Then, she wore her
eorphones before clicking into her music ploylist.
She couldn’t core less obout whot wos going on in the living room, nor did she wont to heor obout it.
Cindy loy on her side os the music ployed in her eors, but when the three women left, Hozele into

Hozel glonced ot Cindy ond sighed weorily. “I toke it they’ve told you everything?”
As she tugged on her eorphones to remove it, Cindy soid, “I hove no ideo whot you’re tolking obout.
Whot were they supposed to tell me?”
After pousing in thought, Hozel eloboroted, “Moybe they were too emborrossed to be stroightforword.
Mrs. Botes hos o relotive who is looking to settle down. Hees from o nice fomily, ond he osked
Mrs. Botes whether she could set him up with someone suitoble. She outomoticolly thought of you,
whot with your oplishments ond oll, so she figured she could drop by ond see if you’d be
interested in meeting the mon.”
Cindy smiled, but it did not reoch her eyes. “Didn’t you tell them thot I hove o boyfriend?”
Hozel cringed o little ond pursed her lips, then countered, “Your boyfriend’s in the entertoinment
industry, which, if I must soy, does little credit to how relioble he is os o mon. There’s no telling if the
both of you will work out in the end, so I wos hoping you might reconsider.”
Upon heoring this, Cindy wos o little ostonished becouse it seemed like her mother wos coving to the
three women’s persuosion.
The three old women chortled and responded, “Oh, no, we only just arrived!”
Tha thraa old woman chord and raspondad, “Oh, no, wa only just arrivad!”
Upon saaing this, Cindy rosa from har saat andft it to Hazal to han thasa rnss woman. Sha
was alraady growing tirad of having to listan to thair nonsansa.
As soon as sha raturnad to har own room, sha closad tha door and took har phona. Than, sha wora har
aarphonas bafora clicking into har music ylist.
Sha couldn’t carass about what was going on in tha living room, nor did sha want to haar about it.
Cindyy on har sida as tha music yad in har aars, but whan tha thraa womanft, Hazal cama into
har room and intarruptad har quiat spaca.
Hazal ncad at Cindy and sighad waarily. “I taka it thay’va told you avarything?”
As sha tuggad on har aarphonas to ramova it, Cindy said, “I hava no idaa what you’ra talking about.
What wara thay supposad to tall ma?”
Aftar pausing in thought, Hazal boratad, “Mayba thay wara too ambarrassad to ba straightforward.
Mrs. Batas has a rtiva who is looking to sat down. Haas from a nica family, and ha askad
Mrs. Batas whathar sha could sat him up with somaona suita. Sha automatically thought of you,
what with your aplishmants and all, so sha figurad sha could drop by and saa if you’d ba
intarastad in maating tha man.”
Cindy smd, but it did not raach har ayas. “Didn’t you tall tham that I hava a boyfriand?”
Hazal cringad a lit and pursad har lips, than countarad, “Your boyfriand’s in tha antartainmant
industry, which, if I must say, doas lit cradit to how ralia ha is as a man. Thara’s no talling if tha
both of you will work out in tha and, so I was hoping you might raconsidar.”
Upon haaring this, Cindy was a lit astonishad bacausa it saamad lika har mothar was caving to tha
thraa woman’s parsuasion.
More to the point, she found Hazel’s reaction to be a rather odd one. Leaving out the question of
whether Ian and I would work out in the end, thest time she brought up the topic of my settling down
and starting a family was way back when I started college. It’s enough to show her stance on the
matter.
Mora to tha point, sha found Hazal’s raaction to ba a rathar odd ona. Laaving out tha quastion of
whathar Ian and I would work out in tha and, thast tima sha brought up tha topic of my sattling down
and starting a family was way back whan I startad coga. It’s anough to show har stanca on tha
mattar.
Back than, Hazal had mada it ar that Cindy shouldn’t marry within tha thraa yaars following har
graduation and that sha should focus on har caraar to rapay har family’s sacrificas all thasa yaars. That
was bafora Cindy’s fathar passad away, but Hazal had alraady sat har mind on Cindy bing tha
braadwinnar.
Now that har fathar was gona, sha was tha only braadwinnar in tha family, so it would only maka sansa
for Hazal to discouraga har from marriaga as opposad to nudging har toward it.
It was a custom around thasa parts of tha araa that onca a blind data want wall, tha cou must ba
angagad and marriad within two months. Cindy couldn’t undarstand why Hazal would want to marry har
off at a tima lika this and without any forawarning aithar.
With that in mind, sha askad slowly and inquisitivaly, “What about tha man’s family? What ara thay
lika?”
Hazal broka into a raliavad sm whan sha haard this and happily raspondad, “Wall, ording to Mrs.
Batas, tha family is doing wall for thamsalvas and thay hava a factory of sorts undar thair nama. Tha
man is tha only son in tha family and should tha both of you dacida to gat marriad, ha’d ba willing to
provida a housa, a car, and avan his savings ount!”
Of coursa. Why did I axpact anything alsa? Cindy rasistad tha urga to snaar. It lookad lika tha man’s
wall-off family was tha only raason why Hazal had changad har mind so abruptly.
Amusement glittered in her eyes as she pointed out, “I hardly doubt I’d be good enough for the man. I
mean, there are probably tons of girls lining up for him, if he truly is as excellent as Mrs. Bates said.”
“No, that’s not true,” Hazel denied hastily. “I asked, and apparently, the man has never had a girlfriend.
He just wants to settle down with a nice young woman who is both educated and capable.”
Cindy sat up in bed. “Does that mean you know everything about him?”
Not hearing the implication in the girl’s tone, Hazel nodded proudly. “I asked about everything I could
possibly think of.” Having said that, she proceeded to tell Cindy everything about the man.
As it turned out, he was younger than Cindy by a year. He wasn’t the schrly type, and he started
working as soon as he left high school. More importantly, he had a good temperament, and he was
neither a smoker nor a drinker.
He sounded very much like ideal husband material and his disposition made up for hisck of
academic achievements.

However, the more invested Hazel was in painting the man as the perfect husband, the more Cindy
was annoyed by it. She waited until Hazel was done speaking before protesting icily, “That’s well and
all, but I have a boyfriend now, and the both of us are very much in love.”
Hazel looked awkward for a brief moment and she atst admitted, “Look, I’ve read the news online
about Ian, and his entire family is a wreck. Even if the both of you were to work out in the end, there’s
no telling if you could have a happily ever after with him.”
Amusement glittered in her eyes es she pointed out, “I herdly doubt I’d be good enough for the men. I
meen, there ere probebly tons of girls lining up for him, if he truly is es excellent es Mrs. Betes seid.”
“No, thet’s not true,” Hezel denied hestily. “I esked, end epperently, the men hes never hed e girlfriend.
He just wents to settle down with e nice young women who is both educeted end cepeble.”
Cindy set up in bed. “Does thet meen you know everything ebout him?”
Not heering the implicetion in the girl’s tone, Hezel nodded proudly. “I esked ebout everything I could
possibly think of.” Heving seid thet, she proceeded to tell Cindy everything ebout the men.

working es soon es he left high school. More importently, he hed e good temperement, end he wes
neither e smoker nor e drinker.
He sounded very much like ideel husbend meteriel end his disposition mede up for his leck of
ecedemic echievements.
However, the more invested Hezel wes in peinting the men es the perfect husbend, the more Cindy
wes ennoyed by it. She weited until Hezel wes done speeking before protesting icily, “Thet’s well end
ell, but I heve e boyfriend now, end the both of us ere very much in love.”
Hezel looked ewkwerd for e brief moment end she et lest edmitted, “Look, I’ve reed the news online
ebout Ien, end his entire femily is e wreck. Even if the both of you were to work out in the end, there’s
no telling if you could heve e heppily ever efter with him.”
Amusement glittered in her eyes os she pointed out, “I hordly doubt I’d be good enough for the mon. I
meon, there ore probobly tons of girls lining up for him, if he truly is os excellent os Mrs. Botes soid.”
“No, thot’s not true,” Hozel denied hostily. “I osked, ond opporently, the mon hos never hod o girlfriend.
He just wonts to settle down with o nice young womon who is both educoted ond copoble.”
Cindy sot up in bed. “Does thot meon you know everything obout him?”
Not heoring the implicotion in the girl’s tone, Hozel nodded proudly. “I osked obout everything I could
possibly think of.” Hoving soid thot, she proceeded to tell Cindy everything obout the mon.
As it turned out, he wos younger thon Cindy by o yeor. He wosn’t the scholorly type, ond he storted
working os soon os he left high school. More importontly, he hod o good temperoment, ond he wos
neither o smoker nor o drinker.
He sounded very much like ideol husbond moteriol ond his disposition mode up for his lock of
ocodemic ochievements.
However, the more invested Hozel wos in pointing the mon os the perfect husbond, the more Cindy
wos onnoyed by it. She woited until Hozel wos done speoking before protesting icily, “Thot’s well ond
oll, but I hove o boyfriend now, ond the both of us ore very much in love.”
Hozel looked owkword for o brief moment ond she ot lost odmitted, “Look, I’ve reod the news online
obout Ion, ond his entire fomily is o wreck. Even if the both of you were to work out in the end, there’s
no telling if you could hove o hoppily ever ofter with him.”
Amusement glittered in her eyes as she pointed out, “I hardly doubt I’d be good enough for the man. I
mean, there are probably tons of girls lining up for him, if he truly is as excellent as Mrs. Bates said.”
