Chapter 3917
Isabella could not find anyone who suited her tastes in Satbury.
She knew the city was filled with talented young men, but none made her heart race.
Their goal was usually the O’Connor family business.
The men knew Louis was young and that Isabella was the head of the family. If they could win her heart, it would be equivalent to conquering the O’Connor family. From there, they could gradually swallow the family whole.
Isabella dared not date anyone. She was scared of falling into someone’s trap.
She would not let her feelings show, even if she had a crush on someone.
“Many people are aiming for my family’s status and wealth. I dare not date or get married for fear that I’d destroy the family once and for all. Those people will go to great lengths for money and power.”
Isabella was even wary of young masters of wealthy families, let alone ambitious men from inferior backgrounds.
“I know Nana is doing this for us. She had chosen our wives. Our parents didn’t need to worry about our marriage.”
Austin continued walking.
Isabella followed him. They looked like a match made in heaven when they stood side by side.
“I heard from Ruth that your nana is open-minded and acts as the stabilizer of the family. Your parents must be relaxed since she’s in charge of your marriage.”
Isabella thought of her grandmother. She said, “My grandparents loved me too. I was their first grandchild. They adored me a lot. If they were still alive, they would probably have made arrangements for my marriage ahead of time.
“Having your nana being concerned about your future is a blessing. You should appreciate it.”
Austin smiled. “Of course. My brothers and I know how fortunate we are. The woman Nana chose for us will become our bride, and we’ll work hard to satisfy her.
“We trust Nana’s eye for people.”
“Is the wife your nana chose for you in Windermere?”
Isabella finally figured it out.
“Yes. She’s in Windermere. I’ll start courting her after you fire me. Of course, if you let me keep my high-paying job, I’ll have more confidence to woo my future wife. At least I won’t be an incompetent young master of a rich family to her.
“I can work and pursue my future wife at the same time. It’ll be a success once she falls in love with me.”
Isabella asked, “Windermere is so far from Wiltspoon. It takes a few hours by flight. How did your nana choose your woman? Which city of Windermere is she in? Which family is she from?”
Austin replied, “I don’t know how Nana found my future wife either. She travels frequently despite her old age. We can't even control her. She’ll only stay at home for a short period if Zachary intervenes.
“Once he lowers his guard, she’ll start flying to places again. However, I’m her last project for the time being. River, Alex, and Rowan are still young. She’s not in a rush to look for their future wives yet.
“Happy occasions are coming up in succession in the family. Serenity is also pregnant. Nana loves Zachary and Serenity the most. She’ll probably stay in Wiltspoon for a year.
“As for my fiancée’s identity, you’ll find out who she is once I succeed. Anyway, I’m satisfied with the person Nana has chosen for me. She’s a good match for me. Nana has a sharp eye. The women she chooses are always suitable for us.”
Austin also talked about his elder brothers’ love stories, which gave Isabella more insight into the York family.
Isabella found the stories interesting. She smiled. “No wonder Ruth was surprised after discovering your true identity. Her attitude changed immediately. Your family members are well-educated and nice.”
Upon recalling Tati’s praises for Austin, Isabella tried asking, “Are you set on marrying the girl your nana chose for you? Won’t you change your mind? Will your heart waver if someone better, someone who admires you shows up?”
