Chapter 717 Introducing a Match
Maggie paused, "Anything else?"
Lucy, looking a bit embarrassed, said, "Can you help me find a boyfriend? He doesn't need to be as rich as Mr. Fiores, just a local with a net worth of a few million dollars, even if he's been married before."
Maggie was speechless.
Introducing Lucy to someone would be deceiving them, wouldn't it?
Lucy said, "I also want to quit, marry a husband, have a man who cares for me, and stay home to take care of the family. That kind of life would be very satisfying."
Although Lucy and Laura were in the same line of work, their personalities and principles were different.
Laura gave all the money she earned to her family.
Lucy only cared about herself and did whatever made her comfortable.
Maggie didn't answer directly and said, "You should focus on healing first. We'll talk about the future later."
This was a polite refusal.
But to Lucy, it sounded like there was still hope, and she laughed repeatedly, "Thank you, thank you."
Maggie, feeling awkward, left first.
When she got home, she saw the car in the yard and knew Eleanor was back.
Maggie quickly went inside and saw Celine. She asked, "How long has Eleanor been back?"
"About half an hour." Celine hesitated but chose not to say much, "Maggie, I'm heading out now."
Maggie asked again, "Where's Adalia?"
"Upstairs." Celine initially wanted to talk about Adalia. When Eleanor came back and found a scratch on Nate's nose, she was very angry, and the nanny blamed Adalia.
With Arya not home and Fiorello and Maggie also not around, Eleanor punished Adalia.
This was a Flores family matter, and Celine didn't want to get involved, so she didn't say much.
Maggie didn't know Adalia had been punished. When she went upstairs, she saw Eleanor playing with Nate and Katie. She didn't go over but just greeted, "Mom, you're back."
Eleanor smiled, "Yes, I've been back for a while."
"Then I'll go change and come back to hold the baby," Maggie said and went to Adalia's room.
Adalia had been standing as punishment for twenty minutes and was lying on the bed resting.
There were no visible injuries from standing, so Fiorello and Maggie wouldn't notice.
The household staff wouldn't talk about it either.
"Adalia, why are you so tired?" Maggie walked over with a smile. "What did Ms. Hughes teach today?"
Adalia didn't tell Maggie about the punishment. Eleanor had instructed her not to say anything.
Now that she was older, she understood more.
She wasn't her dad's biological daughter, nor was she her grandma's biological granddaughter. If she wanted to stay with her parents, she had to be obedient.
Adalia gestured: Mom, I'm tired and want to sleep for a while.
"Okay." Maggie patted Adalia's head and smiled, "Then you sleep for a bit. Have you had dinner?"
Adalia nodded.
Seeing that Adalia was tired, Maggie didn't disturb her.
Adalia was usually very energetic and would be playing with her siblings at this time. Eleanor's return probably scared Adalia, so she hid in her room.
Maggie felt a pang of sorrow. Eleanor used to be very fond of Adalia, but it couldn't compare to her granddaughter.
To make Adalia more comfortable, the only solution was to have Eleanor move back to the Flores Manor.
But such matters couldn't be addressed directly, or it would cause a big fight.
Maggie thought about what kind of good excuse she could come up with to get Eleanor to move back.
Eleanor now followed the babies wherever they went.
At the same time, Eleanor, due to the babies getting hurt repeatedly, was also racking her brains to send Adalia away.
Eleanor wanted to send Adalia to a special boarding school but was worried about Fiorello's opposition.
Both of them had their thoughts and were testing Fiorello.
If Fiorello couldn't understand their intentions, then his position as CEO of Visionary Futures Group would be in vain.
Fiorello called Joseph, "Dad, no matter what you do, get Mom to go back home. Your marriage has problems, but you can't use my marriage to bear the responsibility."
Joseph asked, "Did your mom do something again?"
Joseph had previously noticed that Eleanor was becoming a bit like Kimberly, and even a bit crazy.
"Some distance is good for family harmony," Fiorello said. "Get Mom to go back by Friday."
