Milly Gray was not only a non-virgin but also... Ethan Wilson's temper might have been growing more peculiar, but at least he was Emily's son.
Moreover, Simon Taylor had his own ulterior motives.
"But... but I just like Ethan so much."
Milly Gray cried with her eyes bright red, fixing Simon Taylor with her tearful, watery gaze.
"Dad, please help me. In my life, I will marry no one but Ethan... A few years ago, right after Lily Gray had just died, was the perfect time to get close to Ethan, to help him get through his sorrow. But then... just because of Dad, I missed the chance to get close to Ethan."
"I've waited so many years, and finally, the time has come... Now that Ethan's mother has asked you to arrange a matchmaking banquet for him, why can't you recommend me?"
Milly Gray cried so pitifully, her tear-stained face carried a woeful appeal as she beseeched Simon Taylor with her eyes.
Simon Taylor's resolve softened immediately upon her plea.
