Sean acted like he was too embarrassed to speak and silently sat on the sofa.
As if kept in suspense, Marina became anxious.
"Why are you not speaking?" Marina was close to yelling at him.
Sean pulled her close to him and put his arms around her shoulder, "Mum, do you know why I haven't
found a girlfriend until now?"
"Why?" Marina rebuked in her heart. She wouldn't need to ask him if she had known the reason.
Sean pretended to be shy, "Forget it."
"Forget it?" Marina was so angry that she almost stood up. She looked at her son and said, "Why are
you being so shy? Don't act sissy like a woman. Are you still my son?"
Sean blinked his eyes, thinking why her tone sounded like Jeffery's.
Was it true that a couple would act alike after spending a long time together?
"Hurry up and tell me. Who is it?" Marina was a little impatient.
She's really annoyed with Sean.
Sean did not continue being mysterious. He didn't want to make Marina even angrier, which wasn't
worth it. He lowered his head, rubbed his nose, and said, "It's not anyone else, it's someone you know
too. Our families are close, and she's slightly younger than me..."
Marina filtered through all this information in her mind and the only person who's matching was Chloe
from the Chambers family. Someone she knew, whose family was close to theirs, and slightly younger
than Sean...
She widened her eyes and looked at her son in panic and shock, "Are you referring to Chloe?"
After all, Jeffery was fixated on getting Chloe to marry Matthew.
How could she not be anxious?
Sean looked at Marina's stunned expression, "Can't I like her?"
Marina turned her head away, not daring to look at her son, "It's not that you can't."
"Then what's it about?" Sean intentionally put on a cold face and asked as if he was hurt by Marina's
reaction. "We grew up together and have been close since young. Our families are close as well.
What's more, she's someone who could meet your requirements, not to mention her family background
which is similar to ours. You've watched Chloe grow up, isn't it perfect if I get to marry her?"
Sean had already thought about it before he came back; he must stop Jeffery from separating Matthew
and Dolores.
He reckoned that it would be impossible to persuade Jeffery, but he had faith that he could convince
Marina, hoping that she would argue with Jeffery for his happiness...
Then, there's still hope for this matter.
Even though it might not be the best solution, but this was what he could do.
Marina had never expected that the reason that Sean didn't get a girlfriend all this while was because
of Chloe.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Marina asked helplessly.
"Is it too late to tell you now?" Sean acted like he was unaware of Marina's concern and deliberately
asked, "Do you think that we're not suitable for each other?"
Marina quickly explained, "No."
"Then what is it?" I've already confirmed that Chloe doesn't have a boyfriend, so it's a good time for me
to confess to her. Mum, are you not willing to help me?" Sean pretended as if he was disappointed.
Of course, Marina didn't want to stop her son from being together with someone he was fond of. It's just
that Eddie and Jeffery were bent on getting Chloe to marry Matthew.
Now that Sean suddenly told her about his feelings for Chloe, what should she do?
"Noah, things are a little complicated. Chloe has already been arranged to be with another person."
Marina didn't feel good either as she thought that her son's happiness mattered the most.
She had to think of something right away to stop Jeffery and Eddie so that her son could get together
with Chloe.
Sean's eye darkened. Chloe was arranged to be with someone else?
Eddie and Jeffery wanted to separate Matthew and Dolores so that they could arrange Chloe into
marrying Matthew.
Deep down, Sean sneered and felt a great disdain for such behavior.
This was not something a rightful man would do.
Sean acted like he was sad in front of Marina. He lowered his head and covered it with both his hands.
Speaking through the gaps of his fingers with a muffled voice, "I've already checked and made sure
that she doesn't have a boyfriend. How could this happen? And obviously, I was the one who met her
first..."
Sean was an actor, and he starred in a lot of dramas before this. Therefore, he could easily bluff Marina
with his acting skills.
Marina quickly placated her son, "I'll figure something out."
Sean abruptly raised her head and looked at Marina, "Who was she arranged to? How come I've never
heard of anything?"
Marina lowered her eyes and answered, "I don't know. I only heard it from Mrs. Chambers."
Marina was aware of Sean's relationship with Matthew.
Sean would be shocked if she told him about this. She actually had her own selfish motives too. If Sean
knew that Jeffery was trying to marry Chloe to Matthew, she was worried that Sean would give her up
for Matthew.
Judging from their close relationship, Marina was sure that Sean would really do that. But Marina didn't
want her son to be unhappy.
Sean fixed his gaze at Marina. Actually, he wanted to know Marina's opinion regarding Jeffery's
arrangement about getting Chloe to marry Matthew. He wondered if she would be frank with him, but
alas, Marina didn't say anything.
He was more or less a little upset. Ever since young, Marina and Jeffery had been telling him that
Matthew and he were brothers even though they were not related and that they were all family.
This mindset was deeply rooted in his mind. However, the people who had told him the same thing had
changed.
Were they still a family?
