Chapter 1869


    The room was filled with an air of tension.


    Thankfully, Cordelia eased the atmosphere, agreeing with Sylvia’s views on work-life bnce. “You’re


    right. Work is important, but it’s not everything. What’s the point of earning so much if we can’t enjoy


    life?”


    Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief. “Exactly.”


    Then, Cordelia shifted the conversation toward Aurora.” Sylvia, what do you think about my


    granddaughter?”


    Sylvia, with genuine admiration, replied, “Ms. Kane is absolutely stunning, like someone out of a TV


    show. And her personality is just as impressive. She’s very respectful and obedient toward you.”


    Cordelia, with a hint of mischief, asked, “And what about the idea of her and Aldor together?”


    Sylvia was taken aback. “A-Aldor?”


    Cordelia rified, “Yes, Aldor.”


    The idea of her son and the wealthy heiress bing a couple initially overwhelmed Sylvia. It took her


    a moment to process.


    Cordelia did not just invite her over for a chat, but to discuss a potential match between Aurora and her


    son.


    Sylvia cautiously responded, “Marriage should be left to the young ones. I want Aldor to be happy. If he


    and Aurora genuinely care for each other, I’m all for it.


    But if not, I don’t believe in forcing things.”


    Sylvia braced herself, expecting Cordelia’s displeasure.


    Tve just rejected a proposal from such a prestigious family. What have I done?’ she worried.


    To her surprise, Cordelia appeared to agree, “You have a point. But sometimes, feelings develop over


    time. In our days, many marriages were decided quickly and stillsted.”


    “Times were indeed simpler,” Sylvia added, hoping she hadn’t spoken out of turn.


    She began to rx as Aldor walked in.


    “What are you two talking about?” he inquired.


    As Sylvia sighed in relief, Cordelia, with a twinkle in her eye, dropped a bombshell, “We’re discussing


    your marriage with Aurora. Your mom seems to like the idea.”


    Sylvia was shocked again.


    Aldor, with a light chuckle, responded, “Even if I were open to the idea, I doubt Ms. Kane would be.”


    Cordelia seemed intrigued by his response.


    At that moment, Aurora walked in and overheard their conversation.


    Her eyes twitched. ‘So, he wanted me to be the one to reject the idea. He’s shifting the me onto me!’


    she thought.


    Cordelia then asked Aurora directly, “Do you fancy Aldor?”

    Caught in a bind, Aurora couldn’t simply reject the idea, not with Aldor putting her in this spot.


    She nced at Aldor and said nonchntly, “He’s not bad.”


    Aldor was visibly confused by her response.


    Cordelia, delighted, said, “See, Sylvia? There might be something there.” Aldor and Aurora exchanged


    a speechless nce.


    It was clear Cordelia had misinterpreted their feelings.


    Cordelia, having observed Aldor for a while and now believing in a mutual interest, was ready to take


    matters into her own hands and advance their rtionship.
