Chapter 223: Chapter 213: Shelter for One Night?

Translator: 549690339

The atmosphere in the living room gradually became strange with Natalie Wayneā€™s words.

Kevin Clarkā€™s upward smile stiffened, and a moment later, he turned his head to look at Hugo Clark.

Feeling the gaze, Hugo Clark immediately picked up a cup of tea and gently sipped it. Pretending to be seriously tasting the tea, he pretended not to see his Third Uncleā€™s gaze.

Hardy Clark watched the bustle without interfering, looking at her Third Uncle and her brother, then ran to Natalie Wayneā€™s side, holding her arm and said, ā€œGrandma, youā€™ve met her before. How did you meet? Tell me, tell me.ā€

Natalie Wayne patted her hand and said with a smile, ā€œIt was at the Doomsday

Hotel auction last time. I met her in the restroom.ā€

ā€œHow is it? Doesnā€™t she look better in person than on TV?ā€

ā€œYes, she looks better than on TV.ā€ Natalie Wayne smiled, ā€œI was amazed at first glance. How could there be such a beautiful person with such an outstanding temperament? So, I became interested.ā€

Hardy Clark quickly glanced at Kevin Clark, then smiled and said, ā€œThen how did you get her contact information? I donā€™t think sheā€™s the type to give her contact information to strangers.ā€

ā€œDo you know who your grandma is?ā€ Natalie Wayne smiled, ā€œI had a sudden idea at that moment and pretended to fall with lipstick in hand. The young lady seemed approachable but very kind, so she helped me.ā€

Natalie Wayne reached for a cup of tea on the tea table and drank.

While waiting for her to drink the tea, everyone stared at her, waiting for the follow-up story.

Natalie Wayne raised her hand to touch her hair, looked at several pairs of ā€œinquiringā€ eyes, and said slowly, ā€œI took advantage of her help by smearing her clothes with lipstick.ā€

Kevin Clark: So, thatā€™s how the apricot-colored skirt got dirty. No wonderā€¦

Hardy Clarkā€™s mouth twitched, and she looked at her Third Uncle and said,

ā€œGrandma, you, youā€™re so brave.ā€

ā€œItā€™s all because your brother is still single at this age, which worries me.ā€ Natalie Wayne scolded Hugo Clark, then continued, ā€œThat girl was very polite to me. Her skirt was so expensive, but she kept saying it was fine. However, I couldnā€™t miss such an opportunity. I stubbornly grabbed her arm, demanded her contact information as compensation for the skirt, and even called her on the spot to make sure the number was correct before letting her go.ā€

Kevin Clark was speechless. He thought the young lady must have recognized his mother; otherwise, she would never have let anyone make her skirt so dirty.

She wouldnā€™t have given out her contact information just because she was dragged and not allowed to leave.

This young lady had a thousand ways to deal with people.

ā€œAnd then what? Did you give my brother her contact information?ā€ Hardy Clark continued to ask.

Hugo Clark immediately turned his head and glared at her.

But Hardy Clark stuck out her tongue at him, showing no intention of stopping.

ā€œI gave it to your brother immediately,ā€ Natalie Wayne glanced at Hugo Clark and snorted coldly, ā€œBut your brother not only failed to contact her, but he also lied to me.ā€

ā€œWhat did my brother lie about to you?ā€

ā€œHe lied to me that the girlā€™s last name was Zhao.ā€ Natalie Wayne said gloomily, ā€œHer real name is Daisy Zane!ā€

Hardy Clark covered her mouth with her hand and giggled secretly.

Hugo Clarkā€™s mouth was pursed straight, and the word ā€œgrievanceā€ was clearly printed on his clean and handsome face.

It seemed fierce, but he couldnā€™t provoke anyone in the room.

ā€œSuch a good girl, but she has no fate with our family.ā€ Natalie Wayne sighed.

The senior sister, who had been listening quietly, saw the expression on Kevin Clarkā€™s face and didnā€™t dare to say a word. She could only listen in silence.

ā€œGrandma, youā€™re too biased. When thereā€™s a beautiful girl, you think of my brother but not my Third Uncle.ā€ Hardy Clark said, ā€œLittleā€¦ Daisy is so much better suited to my Third Uncle than my brother.ā€

ā€œHow is she more suited to your Third Uncle?ā€ Natalie Wayne said, ā€œSheā€™s even better suited to your brother.ā€

ā€œWhy is she better suited to my brother?ā€ Hardy Clark muttered quietly, stealing a glance at Kevin Clarkā€™s face.

ā€œWhy do you think sheā€™s more suited to your Third Uncle?ā€ Elina Clark suddenly spoke up, ā€œWhen your Third Uncle stands next to that young lady, heā€™s like a rich and enchanting painting, while sheā€™s like the cold and clear moon in the vast white snow. How are they a good match?ā€

Natalie Wayne nodded in agreement.

ā€œTheyā€™re clearly a good match.ā€ Hardy Clark muttered quietly.

ā€œWhat?ā€ Natalie Wayne asked.

ā€œNothing, nothing.ā€

ā€œDid you compensate for the skirt you ruined?ā€ Kevin Clark suddenly spoke up. The voice wasnā€™t very cold, but it was oppressive, like a heavy weight on everyoneā€™s heart.

The living room quieted down instantly. Natalie Wayne and Elina Clark looked at each other and exchanged glances, both asking, ā€œWho provoked him?ā€

Hardy Clark was scared and hid behind Natalie Wayne, fearing the trouble would spread to her.

ā€œYou havenā€™t compensated her, have you?ā€ Kevin Clarkā€™s gaze moved from his mother to Hugo Clark, and he smiled, ā€œThat young ladyā€™s skirt must not have been cheap.ā€

ā€œOh my, I forgot about that.ā€ Natalie Wayne said.

ā€œHugo should compensate, as it was caused by you.ā€ Kevin Clark said softly.

Hugo Clark: ā€˜

ā€œItā€™s been so long without compensation; weā€™ve been impolite.ā€ Kevin Clark looked at him and said, ā€œTriple the compensation.ā€

Hugo Clark: ā€˜

Seeing that Arthur North wasnā€™t speaking, Kevin Clark asked again, ā€œArthur, whatā€™s wrong? Any problem?ā€

Elina Clark and Tom Wayne looked at Hugo Clark, not knowing what he had done to provoke his Third Uncle and become the target of his annoyance. ā€œNo problem,ā€ said Hugo Clark. ā€œIā€™ll add the contact information Grandma gave me in a moment.ā€

Arthur North looked up at him, and after a moment, let out a soft chuckle.

Everyoneā€™s heart trembled at this laugh.

ā€œWell, just transfer the money,ā€ Arthur North said, turning to Tom Wayne. ā€œMom, I have a friend whoā€™s opposed to marriage. However, after his family forced him to go on several matchmaking dates, heā€™d actually taken a liking to a girl, and now they even have a son.ā€

A sudden twitch appeared at the corner of Hugoā€™s eyebrows.

ā€œHuh?ā€ Tom Wayne was still immersed in why their uncle and nephew were at odds again, not fully understanding what Arthur North had said all at once.

She wondered when Arthur North had such a friend.

ā€œSo, arrange some blind dates for Hugo as well,ā€ Arthur North said slowly.

ā€œWith two dates a day, there must be some perfect match eventually.ā€

Hugo Clark clenched his jaw, his jawline tense as he looked at Arthur North. Arthur North glanced at him and continued, ā€œFind a matchmaker tomorrow, and arrange the blind dates the day after. The sooner, the better. What if tomorrow is your lucky day, and fate brings you a wedding match? You need to be proactive in such matters. When fate arrives, human effort must follow.ā€

Tom Wayne had always believed in the power of fate in such matters. Now hearing Arthur Northā€™s words, she was afraid of missing out on her grandsonā€™s destiny: ā€œArthur is right; this matter must be approached promptly. What if your fate lies within these blind dates? Oh, why didnā€™t I think of this before? What if we missed it? I know quite a few matchmakers, and Iā€™ll contact them first thing tomorrow morning.ā€

ā€œGrandma.ā€ Hugo Clark regretted his quick tongue regarding adding Daisy Zane just now; he was instantly repaid with a revenge plot. ā€œI already have someone I like.ā€

ā€œDonā€™t try that with me; I know youā€™re just making excuses to avoid going on blind dates,ā€ Tom Wayne said. ā€œI wonā€™t believe it.ā€

ā€œItā€™s true. You can ask Third Uncle if you donā€™t believe me.ā€

Tom Wayne looked at Arthur North.

Arthur North, looking at Daisy Zane on TV, said, ā€œHugo, although Iā€™m your elder and should protect you, this is about your lifelong happiness. I really canā€™t cover for you in this matter.ā€

Hugo Clark: ā€˜

Hardy Clark shot a sympathetic glance at his brother. What a short memory he had, provoking Third Uncle again and again since childhood and never learning from his mistakes. Instead of letting his uncle have the last word, he continued digging an even deeper hole for himself.

ā€œYou see, you see, youā€™re lying to me again!ā€ Tom Wayne looked around for something to throw at him.

Seeing nothing handy by her side, Elina handed her a cushion. Tom Wayne immediately threw it: ā€œYou little b*stard!ā€

Hugo Clark caught the cushion, at a loss for words.

ā€œTomorrow, stay home and wait for the matchmaker to come!ā€

As Tom Wayne spoke, Arthur Northā€™s cell phone suddenly rang. He looked down and saw it was a call from Daisy Zane.

Arthur Northā€™s eyes tightened, and he immediately answered the phone.

The Little Girl rarely called him; there must be something wrong.

He answered the phone while walking out: ā€œWhatā€™s up?

Daisy Zane hesitated for a moment before she said, ā€œFishā€¦ How much is it per fish?ā€

ā€œHuh?ā€ Arthur North stepped out of the door and went to the outside corridor.

ā€œCharles Amos asked me to ask you, if a fish gets overfed to death, is there any chance of reviving it?ā€

Arthur North froze for a moment before laughing, ā€œThereā€™s hope of seeing even more fish.ā€™

After that, he heard Daisy Zane saying to Charles Amos, ā€œUncle Clark said you should think about where to bury them.ā€

Arthur North:

Charles Amosā€™s small voice rang from the cell phone, ā€œWhy are they so fragile?

They just ate a little too much. I only wanted to take care of them.ā€

ā€œItā€™s because I fed them too much today; it has nothing to do with your care,ā€ Daisy Zane said, and then told Arthur North, ā€œAlright, nothingā€™s wrong. Heā€™s afraid youā€™ll be mad. He asked me to make the call to test the waters.ā€

Arthur North looked at the courtyard and smiled, but his tone was obviously disappointed: ā€œOh, it was Charles who asked you to call.ā€ Daisy Zane: ā€œā€¦Hang up.ā€

ā€œLittle Girl, wait a moment.ā€ Arthur North stopped her.

ā€œHmm?ā€

Arthur North swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue, thinking it would be better to speak in person. In a gentle voice, he said, ā€œCan I stay at your place tonight?ā€

Daisy Zane paused for a moment, then asked, ā€œHow come? Have you been kicked out of your home?ā€

Arthur North sounded somewhat pitiful, ā€œWhat if I said yes?ā€

ā€œThatā€™s so pitifulā€¦ā€ Daisy Zane chuckled softly, her voice lazy, ā€œI can rent you a room.ā€

Arthur North:

ā€œCome over and weā€™ll discuss the rent.ā€

Arthur North immediately smiled: ā€œAlright..ā€
