Chapter 245 Mandy the Matchmaker
In the back garden not far away, Richard and Samantha sat side by side on the steps. They looked like a loving couple, their expressions were so natural and harmonious.
And not far in front of them, Mandy had been taking pictures with her phone.
"Ka-chick, ka-chick." She took many pictures.
While admiring the photos, Mandy said, "Richard, Samantha, I think you two are a good match, you should consider getting together."
"What are you talking about, kid?" Samantha blushed a little, but when she looked at Richard, there was a touch of softness in her eyes.
Mandy already saw that Samantha was interested in Richard, so she said with a smile, "What's so embarrassing? Times are different now! Stay together if you like, and separate at any time if you don't get along, life is short, don't waste precious time."
After saying that, Mandy deliberately asked Richard, "Richard, Samantha likes you, do you like Samantha?"
Richard blushed. "I... I'm old... Too old to dare to think of these things. Plus, I've spent 70 years alone, I've gotten used to it..."
Mandy was taken aback. "What did you say? Have you never married in your life?"
"Erm... Yeah... I had a car accident before, my legs are disabled, and my income is low, so I don't really have that privilege..." the more Richard talked, the redder his face became.
"That's not true, I think you are great. You must have been handsome when you were young. Could it be that you have someone in your heart all this time?"
Blinking her big eyes, Mandy said, "Is that person Annabel Ashford from your stories?"
When Annabel on the roof heard such a question, her heart tightened.
If Richard really did not marry anyone because of her, then she would owe Richard too much.
Richard did not speak, it was obvious that what Mandy said was right.
Samantha said gently, "You don't have to be so hard on yourself. She passed away for twenty years. If she is alive, she definitely doesn't want to see you like this. You should find another woman and start a family with her."
"Forget it, I'm too old." Richard sighed helplessly.
"You can still find a spouse even when you're old." Samantha immediately grabbed Richard's hand. "Well, we are not young anymore, so I will not beat around the bush. You are alone, and I am alone. I think we are quite suitable, and we can spend the rest of our lives as companions..."
Speaking of this, Samantha was already embarrassed to stare at Richard, but she kept holding on to Richard tightly, for fear that if she let go, Richard would run away.
Mandy took the opportunity to encourage Richard. "Richard, come on, just agree. Samantha is such a nice person, and she matches you so well, and the two of you can chat so well. It'll be great if you two are together."
Annabel who was on the roof clenched her fists tightly, wanting to jump off immediately and tell Richard that she was still alive.
However, she felt it would be too selfish.
It was true that she and Richard made a private decision to be with each other forever when they were young, but Richard had been waiting for her and had lived alone for more than 40 years.
As for her, she had already married Beckett and had given birth to two sons.
Richard's love was so pure and selfless, yet she dedicated her youth to the Ashford family.
How could a woman like her deserve to continue to have Richard's love?
In the garden, under Mandy's constant persuasion and Samantha's bold confession, Richard finally agreed.
Samantha was extremely happy. She kissed Richard on the face, and said happily, "From then on, I would tell everyone I meet that you're my husband. When I see Maria later, I will ask her to call you Dad. And Ivy, I'll let her call you godfather..."
"This..." Richard scratched his head in embarrassment, "Ivy always called me Grandpa!"
Samantha said, "It doesn't matter, she can call you whatever she wants, anyway, from now on, you will be my husband!"
"Yay, Richard and Samantha are together!" Mandy was very excited, "I made the match, I'm a big matchmaker, I need to call my dad and tell him..."
