Chapter 566
Chapter 566 Like a Matchmaking Event
Victoria thought Summer was amazing, too, since thetter had been engrossed in her work for so
long. Summer hadn’t hidden anything from her best friend during their recent conversations and
opened up about everything, including the amount of money she had saved up, as well as her desire to
open a tiny shop for her
parents.
Victoria had been considering recruiting Summer to herpany. She could give Summer a high
sry because they were best friends. However, Summer had told her about her ns to open a shop
before Victoria had suggested it and even discussed some details with her. Victoria could discern how
much she wanted to do it from her tone, so she didn’t feelfortable enough to bring up the topic.
If Summer really wanted a high sry, she didn’t have to fly back at all because the benefits Erik gave
were definitelyparable to those Victoria would offer. Besides, hispany was much bigger,
unlike hers. He had built his business from scratch and was a famous figure, plus it was already a
stablepany. Meanwhile, Victoria’spany had just been founded and wasn’tparable to his at
all.
Presently, Mary suddenly recalled something and asked Victoria, “Is your friend too busy with work, or
does she not have any intention of dating?”
Victoria chuckled upon hearing that. “She’s too busy.”
After losing her memory, Victoria had originally known nothing about Summer’s past and wouldn’t have
been able to answer that question. However, she could discern some hints from Summer’s words
during their recent conversations. Summer was especially envious when ric did something for
Victoria. She wouldin about their public disys of affection and say that she wanted to be in a
rtionship as well. After hearing
this enough, Victoria could roughly guess how Summer felt about romance.
“If it’s not because she doesn’t want to date, then I have someone I can introduce to her.”
Victoria looked surprised. “Mom, you want to be a matchmaker for her?”

Maryughed. “Yep. I think she has a great character, plus I have met a young man who seems nice.”
Victoria did not agree to it immediately. While she didn’t have a strong belief in social sses, it didn’t
mean everyone else was the same. The people Mary knew wouldn’t bemon folk due to her social
ss, so what if the man looked down on Summer’s family? It wouldn’t just result in a failed match; it
would make Summer
unhappy too.
“Alright, then. I’ll ask what she thinks about it.”
“Sure. You should definitely ask the opinion of the person involved. If she’s interested, just tell me.”
Nothing much happened while they waited for their flight. Since everyone in the family was present,
Nicole and Nathan were cared for by Adrian and Mary. If the couple couldn’t cope, Peter, as well as
Adrian’s and Mary’s bodyguards, were also there. It was quite an entourage.
Victoria had been sitting on the seats but eventuallyy inside ric’s embrace because the chairs
were too hard. She leaned against him as she texted Summer, not daring to ry Mary’s words straight
away. Instead, she took a gentler and less direct approach in asking Summer’s opinion.
‘Did your family tell you to go on blind dates during the New Year?‘
Youngsters usually didn’t have the time to return home, and so usually went on blind dates during the
holidays, plus their family members were eager to do so as well. As such, Victoria could only start from
there to check whether Summer was against someone that was introduced to her.
Summer’s reply was swift. ‘I don’t want to talk about it. The hinges of my front door are nearly falling off
with the number of people that want to introduce someone to me. I don’t know where people get the
energy to do it. Don’t they get tired of it?’
She couldn’t help butin at that point. “When I get older, I will never go around introducing
potential partners to other people. It’s the New Year, so they should enjoy it. How can it be the New
Year if everyone went around introducing potential partners to others? Just call it a matchmaking
event.’
Herints made Victoriaugh.
‘Who said it wasn’t? The New Year is just another asion for a matchmaking event, as well as
encouraging couples to have children.‘
‘Yeah, the married couples aren’t much better offpared to me. All of them are being urged to have
children.”
Everyone was in the same boat, after all.
‘Hey, do you think I will be unbothered like this now if I married and had children early like you?‘
Victoria had thought introducing someone to Summer was off the table, yet her friend had suddenly
mentioned Victoria’s marriage.
Victoria then asked tentatively, ‘Since that’s what you think, why are you bothered by it? Do you think
blind dating is unreliable?”
‘Of course. Very few people going on blind dates are actually nice. I’ll use some of the men my
rtives have introduced as an example. They all looked pretty okay in their photos, but once I added
them on WhatsApp. they immediately asked me for a makeup–free picture of myself. If I don’t send it to
them, I’m dishonest and
look ugly without makeup.‘
Victoria was rendered speechless by the strange thoughts those men had.
Does everyone you’ve met behave like that?‘
Not really. All of them are weird in their own ways. Some will ask for a picture of you without makeup,
and some are already asking how many children you want in the future.‘
Victoria had no response to that.
She had never gone on blind dates before, so she didn’t know that it resulted in strange experiences
like those. Hearing about the ones Summer had met was enough to turn her off. Victoria had heard of
strange things urring on blind dates, but she hadn’t really cared about them since she hadn’t
experienced them personally. However, after her best friend had experienced it, she now truly
understood that these were all real.
‘Victoria, it’s not that I’m against blind dating. There are just too many weirdos doing it. Had they been
extremely handsome but entric, I would’ve tolerated it since they are still nice to look at. The thing
is, none of them are handsome and possess nice characters, yet they still behave like that. I will surely
suffer if I ever marry one of them!‘
As Summer’s best friend, Victoria naturally didn’t want Summer to marry someone like that, which
might ruin her friend’s life, so she quickly agreed with her.
‘You’re still unmarried anyway, so you can’t be too hasty. Besides, it will affect your entire life. Just
choose carefully, and don’t pick someone weird. However, I do need to ask your opinion on
something.’
Victoria told Summer about what Mary had ryed to her, which shocked Summer.
‘Mrs. Cadogan wants to introduce someone to me?’
As Victoria had expected, Summer’s first thought after knowing this was, ‘Will someone Mrs. Cadogan
introduce actually like someone with my family background?‘
