Chapter 569 Don't Jump to Conclusions
Isadora felt that she needed to come up with a plan.
Originally, she thought that by being around Ulysses every day, he would eventually develop feelings for her. But who knew, he just went about his daily routine without any hint of romantic interest.
Isadora thought that Ulysses was such an idiot!
She was a young, beautiful girl, and she had money.
She was always around him, yet he remained unmoved.
But this was also good, it showed that he could resist temptation in the future.
Anyway, as far as Isadora was concerned, Ulysses had passed the test.
Now, Isadora was thinking about how to get Ulysses to fall for her. Although Isadora did want someone to help run her family business, she also had to like him.
Anyway, she had her eyes set on Ulysses, and there was no better candidate than him.
Indeed, she had heard many stories about men being ungrateful and treating their wives poorly after marriage.
Moreover, those kinds of men had strong egos, were easily insecure, and arrogant.
But Isadora felt that Ulysses didn't have these flaws.
She had also interacted with Ulysses' friends, and in her view, Ulysses was a perfect person.
Maybe in the eyes of others, Ulysses' only flaw was his poor family background.
But for Isadora, his poor family background was exactly what she needed.
If he had a good family background, Isadora might not even like him.
Many people said that two people who truly love each other are like two mirrors, fitting together perfectly.
She felt that she and Ulysses were those two mirrors.
They couldn't be more suitable.
Of course, this was just Isadora's thought.
Ulysses didn't think so.
But when he got home, his family already knew about him helping his friend.
It wasn't Stuart who tattled, but Ulysses himself who told his family.
As a result, Gerald scolded him.
Gerald called him, "You've really got some nerve now, even directing Stuart?"
Ulysses felt wronged. "I didn't direct him. I just asked Uncle Stuart to evaluate it."
"Once you asked, do you think Stuart would refuse you?"
"Uncle Stuart said it himself, business is business, and my friend's family runs their business by the book."
"That was just a polite remark, can't you tell?" Gerald was furious: "You really know how to come up with ideas, huh?"
Not only did he scold him over the phone, but he also gave him a good lecture when he got home.
Josephine and Stuart also came back, and seeing this, Stuart naturally didn't dare to say anything.
Josephine didn't care. "Gerald! Aren't we family? Do you even consider me your sister? Am I not Ulysses' aunt?"
With one sentence, Gerald was left speechless.
Nicole also said, "What did Ulysses do wrong? When a child encounters a problem and seeks help from the family elders, isn't that right?"
Gerald said, "Mom, the key is, is it his problem? Moreover, he can't discern yet, his so-called friends..."
He didn't finish, and Stuart put his arm around his shoulder. "Gerald, let's go get some fresh air."
Gerald glared at Ulysses angrily, then went out with Stuart.
"You don't need to speak for him." Outside, Gerald said, "We can't let him develop such a bad habit."
Gerald indeed didn't spoil the child, otherwise, he wouldn't have let Ulysses work outside.
Stuart said, "This isn't spoiling the child. Parents having the ability to help their children solve problems is normal, right? And..."
"Don't say anymore." Gerald said, "It also depends on what kind of problem it is."
"Gerald, the classmate Ulysses helped is a girl."
Gerald was stunned.
He had always thought it was a boy.
"Moreover, that girl is pursuing Ulysses."
Gerald was even more surprised. "She's pursuing Ulysses?"
Stuart nodded. "Yes. Ulysses asked me to help, so I definitely had someone check it out. That girl's parents used to own a mine, then ventured into other fields. Her parents are good people, especially her father, who is very honest in business. This time, they encountered a problem because they were deceived."
Gerald asked. "Did that girl know about our family's situation and then seek Ulysses' help?"
"No." Stuart explained, "All of Ulysses' classmates think he's poor; after all, he's always working."
"What about now, does that girl know?"
"She doesn't know. Ulysses said that when I cooperate with them, I must not mention him. So, Ulysses is doing a good deed without leaving his name, and that girl still doesn't know that Ulysses helped her."
"That's still not appropriate."
Stuart said, "What's inappropriate about it? We do business, and who we do it with doesn't matter. Helping family members, is that wrong?"
"I mean, we can't let Ulysses develop this habit."
"Gerald, we work so hard, largely because we want our children to have a good life. There's no reason for us to have a good life now and still let the children suffer."
"It's not about letting him suffer, but some principles..."
"Gerald," Stuart patted his shoulder, "When educating children, there needs to be a balance. You be strict, and we all be lenient, that's how it works."
"Alright." Gerald said, "What else did Ulysses say? Is there a possibility between him and that girl?"
Stuart said, "He said he doesn't like her. But I think, if he doesn't like her and still helps her, that's a bit unusual."
"Right." Gerald said, "Do you think there's a possibility that girl could be my future daughter-in-law?"
Stuart said, "It's very possible!"
Gerald was full of anticipation. "Should I find a way to meet her?"
"Better not." Stuart said, "The girl doesn't know our family's situation yet. If you suddenly show up, wouldn't that scare her?"
Maybe someone had seen Gerald in the news, if recognized, Ulysses' identity would be exposed.
"Dating a girl, naturally, he can't hide things from her."
Stuart laughed. "Gerald, did you hear wrong? Ulysses hasn't agreed to her yet, the girl is still pursuing him."
"I think he's being arrogant!" Gerald said, "How can he keep such an ambiguous relationship with her?"
"We don't know the situation, let's not jump to conclusions."
"Then I'll go ask him."
Stuart couldn't stop him, after all, he was Ulysses' biological father.
Stuart thought, if Jeffery dated in the future, he definitely wouldn't interfere.
However, if Josephine had a second child and it was a girl, he would definitely worry.
Not knowing the gender of the child in Josephine's belly, Stuart was already worried.
If it was a girl, and she dated and got married in the future, taken away by another man, Stuart felt he would be heartbroken.
What to do, if that was the case, he suddenly didn't want Josephine to have a girl.
But this kind of thing wasn't up to him.
He sighed, went inside, and found Gerald interrogating Ulysses.
