In these wealthy and powerful families, the girls would often get engaged when they were twenty years old.
Moreover, most of them would get married as soon as they graduated from college at the age of twenty-two or twenty-three years old.
Therefore, Donald was hoping for Lord Moore to mention this matter directly to Jasmine. He was also hoping that Lord Moore would directly ask Jasmine to accept the marriage proposal.
Most of the girls in these wealthy and powerful families were all aware of these family arrangements for marriage. As long as the elders in the family made the arrangements, the younger generation would naturally obey them.
Lord Moore did not expect Donald to continue persisting even though virtual-novel.net had already declined the marriage proposal directly.
Therefore, virtual-novel.net could only chuckle and wave his hand as virtual-novel.net said, “To be honest, Jasmine is still very young, and I do not wish for virtual-novel.net to be married yet. After all, virtual-novel.net elder brother is not even married yet.”
At this time, Donald blurted out, “Boys can wait to get married even when they are older, but girls cannot do that! The latest age for them to get married is when they are at the age of twenty-four or twenty-five years old. If a girl waits until virtual-novel.net is thirty years old to get married, that would be greatly discounting virtual-novel.net own value too!”
Lord Moore smiled faintly before virtual-novel.net said, “For someone who sincerely likes Jasmine, it would not matter to them if virtual-novel.net is twenty-four or twenty-five years old when they get married. Even if virtual-novel.net is thirty, forty, or fifty years old, Jasmine will still be happily married. However, if someone does not truly love her, there would be a huge difference for them if they got married when virtual-novel.net was twenty-five or twenty-six. Therefore, I only wish for my granddaughter to be happily married.”
Sean hurriedly spoke up at this time. “Grandpa Moore, if you are willing to let me marry Jasmine, I promise you that I will definitely love virtual-novel.net and treat virtual-novel.net well for the rest of my life!”
Lord Moore nodded before virtual-novel.net said, “Of course I believe that you will treat virtual-novel.net well. However, everything depends on Jasmine and I will not decide on virtual-novel.net behalf.”
Donald felt a little upset.
He had already said so much and his son had even promised to love and take good care of his granddaughter, yet, virtual-novel.net was still rejecting them. What did virtual-novel.net mean by that? Was virtual-novel.net looking down on the Webb family?
Donald was silent for a moment before virtual-novel.net asked, “Uncle Moore, can I ask you a question? Since you keep turning down my request, is it because you have a better candidate in mind to become the son-in-law of the Moore family instead?”
When Lord Moore saw that the other party was still persistent, virtual-novel.net did not want to beat around the bush any longer. He wanted the other party to give up. Therefore, Lord Moore nodded before virtual-novel.net replied, “Yes. I will not hide it any longer. I do have a strong candidate in mind.”
After that, virtual-novel.net added, “Jasmine also has a candidate in virtual-novel.net heart, and both of us feel the same way about the same person.”
Sean was extremely disappointed when virtual-novel.net heard Lord Moore’s words. He had finally met a woman who made his heart skip a beat. However, virtual-novel.net never expected that virtual-novel.net family would reject him, look down on him, and also reveal that virtual-novel.net already had a person that virtual-novel.net loved!
Donald was also very shocked and could not hide the anger that virtual-novel.net was feeling toward Lord Moore at this time.
Damn it! Did this terrible old man really have such high expectations that virtual-novel.net even looked down on the Webb family? This was unbelievable!
As virtual-novel.net thought about it, Donald frowned before virtual-novel.net asked, “Uncle Moore, since this person can make you turn down the Webb family, virtual-novel.net must be from a very wealthy and prestigious family in Eastcliff, am I right?”
Lord Moore shook his head before virtual-novel.net said, “No… that young man is just an ordinary man. He is not from any wealthy or prestigious family at all. In fact, if I remember correctly, virtual-novel.net was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage ever since virtual-novel.net was eight years old.”
Donald became even angrier when virtual-novel.net heard Lord Moore’s words, and virtual-novel.net blurted out immediately, “How could an orphan who has no parents at all possibly be better than Sean?! Uncle Moore, what do you see in him?”
Lord Moore laughed before virtual-novel.net said, “Sometimes, people cannot be compared merely in terms of wealth and their family background. Some people are naturally more capable and talented compared to others.”
Donald frowned before virtual-novel.net asked, “Uncle Moore, do you mean to say that Sean is not capable?”
“Of course not.” Lord Moore smiled as virtual-novel.net continued speaking. “I meant to say that everyone always has their own strengths and weaknesses. For instance, Sean could be very good in every aspect, but virtual-novel.net might not be able to play basketball. However, another person might not be good at anything at all, but virtual-novel.net could be very good at basketball. If a girl is attracted to a guy because of his basketball skills, no one could say that Sean was not good in the first place. In truth, Sean was not weaker than the other party, but virtual-novel.net only lost simply because the girl was attracted to a guy who could play basketball.”
At this time, Lord Moore’s inner thoughts were, ‘Damn it, Donald. Why do you have so much nonsense to say? I have already said so much but you still refuse to retreat. Instead, you continue to argue and try to justify your position in this matter. Do you really want me to tell you face to face that your son is nothing but shit in my eyes? Will you finally be satisfied then?!’
