Chapter 517 Hurry Up and Urge Marriage
Josephine returned home, still somewhat worried.
She could tell that Elara was a reckless person, and she might not listen to her own words.
But seeing Elara like this, Josephine didn't want to have much contact with her.
First, because Elara smoked without considering the occasion, and second, because her reckless behavior might cause trouble if she did something that hurt Josephine's baby.
Josephine returned to the Clarence Mansion, and Nicole was delighted to see her. "Josephine, you're back? Are you hungry? What's wrong?"
Josephine pulled her to sit down. "Mom, you know Elara, right?"
"The girl from the West family? Yes, I know her," Nicole said. "Why?"
"What about her family?" Josephine asked. "Mom, what's our relationship with her family like?"
"That's a long story," Nicole sighed. "Your dad used to get along well with Elara's father, but later Elara's father had an affair, which angered his wife to death. Elara is the child of the mistress who took over. But the West family has no other girls, so she became the only girl and was raised very spoiled."
Josephine didn't know about these things; she hadn't even heard of them.
Although Nicole spoke simply, there must have been a lot of gossip about it.
"Why are you suddenly asking about her family?" Nicole asked curiously.
Josephine said, "I heard Elara likes Gerald."
"Yes," Nicole sighed. "It's not that I have high standards, but I really can't stand her."
Josephine thought about their previous meeting. At first, Elara was quite enthusiastic and even helped her pull out a chair.
Obviously, she must be good at acting in front of elders.
She didn't expect Nicole to dislike her.
"Why?" She asked.
Nicole said, "She has a very impatient temper. Although she always acts very obedient in front of me, you can guess a person's character from their appearance. She and Gerald are not suitable, and she is somewhat snobbish."
Josephine said, "Mom, if someone is trying to ruin Gerald's relationship, would you do something about it?"
"What?" Nicole got anxious as soon as she heard this.
She had always been looking forward to Gerald getting married, and now he finally had a girlfriend.
She was so anxious before that she even thought, even if it was someone like Elara, at least find someone.
Now, Gerald had found a girlfriend, and she was even quite good.
But someone was trying to ruin it.
Josephine explained the situation.
Nicole asked, "Did you go to see her?"
Josephine nodded.
Nicole reached out and tapped her forehead. "You! Next time you encounter something like this, come to me first! With her attitude, you're not even close to her, do you think she would listen to you?"
"Then would she listen to you?"
Nicole said, "She wouldn't listen to me either. But Elara listens to her dad. I'll call her dad."
"Call her dad? How do you explain this?"
"Just explain it normally."
As a result, the more Josephine listened from the side, the less it seemed right.
Nicole wasn't complaining to Elara's dad; she was clearly introducing a boyfriend to Elara!
After all, she had a lot of information about young talents, which she had initially screened for Josephine.
Now it was coming in handy.
Elara's dad naturally couldn't refuse. Even though he knew his daughter was disobedient, since it was Nicole's introduction, he had to give her face.
So, the two of them set a time and place for a blind date over the phone.
When Nicole hung up, Josephine asked, "Mom, will this work?"
Nicole said, "Why not? The West family has to give me this face. Also, by doing this, they will know that I never considered letting Elara be my daughter-in-law. Otherwise, I wouldn't introduce her to someone else."
Josephine gave a thumbs-up. "Mom, you're amazing!"
Nicole added, "After dealing with these wealthy families for so long, I have to learn a few tricks."
Josephine asked, "But what if she doesn't like the blind date? After all, not many people are as excellent as Gerald."
Nicole said, "Josephine, you have to understand, the reason Elara hasn't remarried for years is because the West family is looking for the most suitable person for her. She likes Gerald, but do you think the West family would just let her like him? It's because our family has good conditions, and they also want to form an alliance with us, so they don't interfere. But if I make my stance clear, the West family will reconsider and find her a suitable match."
"So that's how it is," Josephine was convinced. "Mom, you're really amazing! So, will she stop bothering Gerald now?"
"Gerald was single before and busy with work, so she didn't have a chance to bother him. Now that Gerald is in a relationship, she doesn't dare to say anything to Gerald, so she picks on someone with a good temper, like Kathy. She definitely won't let it go."
"So, she will still cause trouble for Kathy? What should we do?"
"This is when Gerald needs to step in. The best solution is for them to get engaged or married quickly, so she gives up."
Josephine was surprised. "Engaged or married? Isn't that too fast? They just confirmed their relationship."
"Why are you young people more conservative than I? Isn't it common for you to get married soon after meeting? Some people even get a marriage certificate right after meeting!"
"That's true, but Gerald and Kathy aren't like that."
"So we need to help them," Nicole said. "Otherwise, with Gerald's busy schedule, when will they ever get married?"
"Then, how do we help?"
Nicole said, "Look, Gerald has a pursuer, which will make Kathy feel a sense of crisis. If Kathy has a pursuer, it will make Gerald feel a sense of crisis. Then they will feel like someone is trying to take their partner. If we talk to them, they might waver."
"Is it that simple?"
"Of course," Nicole said. "I've taken care of Elara for you. Now, you find a pursuer for Kathy."
"What? How do I find one?"
Nicole said. "If you can't, hire one. Anyway, make Gerald feel a sense of crisis."
"Isn't that deceiving?"
"This is called a white lie. In short, if they get married quickly, everything will be fine."
"I think..." Josephine said, "Mom, let them spend more time together. Getting married too soon can have many hidden problems."
"Weren't you always saying how great Kathy is?"
"She is great, but it also depends on whether they get along well together. Just because two people are good doesn't mean they are suitable for each other."
"How long do I have to wait?" Nicole said. "I want to be a grandmother again."
"It will be soon!" Josephine said. "I think they should date for at least six months before talking about marriage."
Nicole said, "Anyway, as soon as possible. I'll push Gerald, and you push Kathy! It's settled!"
