Chapter 265: Chapter 265

It’s clear that he truly likes Paige Sterling, "It’s really his fortune to be able to marry you."

As she spoke, she warmly took Paige away, "Come, let’s have a chat with Auntie."

Seeing Julian Hawthorne following along, Faye Hawthorne said, "We women are talking here, what are you doing standing around? Shoo shoo shoo..."

Seeing Julian still didn’t leave, Faye Hawthorne said in exasperation, "What? Are you afraid I might bully your wife?"

In the end, he could only watch as Faye Hawthorne took Paige away. The two of them talked on the side, and Julian kept glancing over from time to time.

Faye Hawthorne was speechless, utterly unable to comprehend how her usually aloof nephew could be so clingy when in love, unable to take his eyes off her.

If she kept Paige any longer, her nephew might come over to snatch her away, so she quickly let Paige go.

Paige returned to Julian’s side, and Julian asked, "What did Auntie say to you?"

Paige said, "She said you’re stingy."

Paige, "Of course it’s true, I think so too."

Julian pursed his lips and pulled Paige over, and while no one was around, quickly and fiercely pecked her on the lips, "I am stingy."

Faye Hawthorne saw this from afar and covered her eyes.

She really couldn’t bear to watch.

Someone suddenly called Faye Hawthorne from the side.

Faye Hawthorne turned her head.

She was married overseas, but the other family was just overseas Chinese. This was her nephew from her husband’s side, Archie Archer, who had a somewhat reclusive personality and usually kept a low profile. This time when she returned to Veridia, the child had proactively suggested wanting to see the country, so she brought him along.

"Auntie, do you know who that girl is?"

Faye Hawthorne asked, "Which one?"

Archie pointed with his hand, "The one you were just talking to."

Following Archie’s gesture, Faye Hawthorne saw Skylar Hughes.

Indeed, Skylar had run over to greet her just now, and she had no idea who this girl belonged to until Skylar introduced herself and explained her background in detail, giving Faye some understanding of her.

She didn’t know about the problems between Paige and Skylar, and seeing Skylar’s enthusiasm, and knowing she was Paige’s sister, she exchanged a few words with her.

"I just met that girl too, why do you ask?"

Faye Hawthorne looked at Archie but noticed his fair, handsome face was slightly blushing, making Faye suddenly understand that Archie had fallen for that girl at first sight.

Archie was very introverted and too shy to admit it.

Faye Hawthorne teased him, hoping he’d be more outgoing, "Archie, you know that great girls are always in demand. If you don’t make a move, she might have a boyfriend the next moment, and you’ll miss your chance to pursue her."

Archie immediately became a bit nervous, "Then what should I do? I..."

He looked at Faye Hawthorne for help, "Auntie, can you help me?"

Faye Hawthorne encouragingly asked, "How do you want Auntie to help you?"

Archie gathered his courage and said, "I want to marry her; isn’t there a custom in Veridia called matchmaking? Can you arrange one for us?"

Faye Hawthorne, "..."

This young man really lacks common sense, thinking of matchmaking.

But with Archie’s introverted nature, letting him pursue her on his own seemed unlikely.

Alright, matchmaking it is. She could set it up; who knows, maybe the girl likes introverted guys like Archie.

"Today’s event isn’t quite fitting, but after it ends, I’ll find an opportunity to ask her and see if she’s willing."

Later, Faye Hawthorne encountered Fatty Sterling at the party again and took Paige Sterling aside.

Paige asked in confusion, "Auntie, what’s wrong?"

Faye Hawthorne asked, "What kind of character does your sister have?"

"That girl with the surname Hughes, she said she’s your sister, the child your stepmother brought along, and you grew up together."

Paige let out an oh, so it was Skylar Hughes.

How should she put it? Of course, she could only honestly speak about Skylar Hughes’ character to Faye, but those negative words sounded like she was badmouthing someone.

Paige thought it over and said, "She’s pretty nice, Auntie. What do you intend to do?"

Faye Hawthorne said, "Well, my nephew took a liking to your sister at first sight. He’s introverted and doesn’t dare to approach her, so he asked me to find out more."

Paige remembered the young man named Archie who had been standing behind Faye Hawthorne, his head lowered the whole time, she couldn’t even see his face. He was indeed quite shy.

Paige considered it, "Actually, I moved out of the family home a long time ago and haven’t interacted with her much, so I’m not particularly familiar. Auntie, you should ask around privately; these things can’t be taken lightly."

Paige was a bit worried about such a simple boy getting involved with Skylar Hughes.

"Okay, I understand."

After Paige walked away, Faye Hawthorne gave Archie an OK gesture, indicating that she would continue to inquire.

However, in Archie’s eyes, this meant that Paige had already agreed.

He was so excited that his entire face turned red.

Faye Hawthorne even told Archie’s mother about his immediate affection for a girl at an event in Veridia.

Archie’s mother thought that since a girl appeared at such a gathering, she couldn’t be just anybody, and with Faye Hawthorne watching over, her character couldn’t be too bad. If her son truly liked her, she certainly wouldn’t oppose it, so she also asked Faye to help out discreetly.

Because of this matter, Faye Hawthorne stayed in the country temporarily, with Archie also residing at the Hawthorne Family home.

Regarding her nephew’s lifelong happiness, Faye Hawthorne was indeed invested. She went to the Sterling Family the next day to find Yvette Hughes.

Yvette Hughes had been staying at home for her pregnancy, and when Faye Hawthorne came looking for her, learning about Faye’s identity, she was somewhat flattered but still behaved quite appropriately.

Naturally, Faye Hawthorne started to inquire about Skylar Hughes.

In the eyes of her own mother, no matter how many faults a daughter has, they can’t be shared with outsiders.

Hence, Yvette naturally praised her daughter, even mentioning faults in a joking tone.

Thinking of Skylar Hughes’ demeanor at the party, Faye Hawthorne also believed she seemed like a well-bred girl.

Of course, growing up in the Sterling Family, with Paige being so outstanding, how could Skylar Hughes be any less? ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝘯𝘦𝘵

Since there seemed to be no issues with character and upbringing, Faye Hawthorne probed further, "Skylar seems very outgoing and lively, she must have many boys chasing after her, right?"

Yvette Hughes chuckled bashfully, "She never tells me these things, but I see many boys like her. However, she hasn’t taken them seriously, always saying she wants to focus on her work first, and she even returns the gifts the boys give her."

"I quite like Skylar," said Faye Hawthorne, "I have a nephew, who is about the same age as Skylar, and his family background is decent, but he’s quite reserved. Honestly, if Skylar could marry into our family, I’d be overjoyed."

This turn of events left Yvette Hughes momentarily stunned.

Faye Hawthorne’s nephews were Julian Hawthorne and Simon Hawthorne, weren’t they?

Since Julian was already with Paige, it must be Simon who took a liking to Skylar and sent his aunt to propose?
