Ch. 4041: Married At First Sight Chapter 4041
Chapter 4041
Everyone Abby knew seemed to be someone important, and her connections with the legendary old senior Silver Fox were nothing short of extraordinary.
Last year, when Rosella learned that Evan claimed he couldnât fall in love with Abby, she vented to Matthias in private. âThat boy has no vision,â she grumbled. âHe let a gem like Abby slip through his fingers just to chase after some mystery woman he called âFox.ââ
The irony? Evan had spent six months obsessively pursuing "Fox," yet he didnât even know her real name, much less where she was from or where she lived.
His brothers had refused to help him investigate.
It wasnât surprisingâEvan was the odd one out in the family. All the York brothers below the fifth son were fiercely loyal to their grandmother, following her advice without question. Evan, however, had always been a bit of a rebel, standing out with his refusal to conform. Naturally, his brothers werenât about to make things easier for him.
But the real shock came after New Yearâs, when Rosella discovered the truth: Abby was Fox. The same Abby who had been a frequent visitor to Wildridge Manor, the same Abby her mother-in-law had been trying to pair with Evan. She was also the star apprentice of the old senior Silver Fox, known for her remarkable skills and enigmatic personality.
When Abby came to the manor as herself, Rosella had noticed her mother-in-law creating opportunities for Abby and Evan to spend time together, clearly trying to nudge them closer. But Abby had left Wiltspoon shortly after.
It was only then that Rosella truly understood the brilliance of Grandma Mayâs matchmaking strategy.
No wonder Grandma May was always travelingâoften disappearing for months at a time, claiming she was abroad or exploring new places. At her age, she was the most well-traveled member of the family.
As it turned out, those trips werenât for leisure; they were for scouting. Grandma May had been handpicking potential granddaughters-in-law, taking the time to observe their character, understand their backgrounds, and ensure they were a good match for her grandsons.
Thanks to her efforts, Rosella and the other parents could enjoy their retirement without worrying about their sonsâ love lives. Not that their worries wouldâve mattered anywayâwhen it came to marriage, the York boys only listened to their grandmother.
âI told Evan before he went to Huyoniville,â Grandma May said confidently, âthat if he couldnât win Abby back, he shouldnât bother coming home. A strong woman canât resist a persistent man. If he clings long enough, Abby will forgive him.â
She added with a knowing smile, âAbby still has feelings for him.â
Seeing this, Grandma May encouraged Evan to pursue Abby again. However, she was clear about one thing: if Abby had moved on, accepted someone elseâs love, and started a new relationship, Evanâs pursuit would end. She wouldnât tolerate him becoming a homewrecker, no matter how much it hurt him.
Fortunately, whether she was "Fox," "Bianca," or simply "Abby," her feelings for Evan hadnât changed.
âAbby is a wonderful girl,â Rosella said warmly. âSheâs loyal, loving, and absolutely perfect for our family.â Her smile widened, and her praise grew effusive. âA wife like her is truly a blessing.â
Grandma May chuckled, her sharp eyes twinkling. âThe Du family isnât too shabby either.â
âExactly,â Rosella agreed, linking her arm with her mother-in-lawâs. âOur York family has always had the best in-laws.â
As they chatted, Rosellaâs thoughts turned to her youngest son. âMom,â she said, her tone becoming more playful, âonce Evanâs wedding is settled, itâll be time to focus on my youngest. In the next two years, weâll need your help finding him the perfect match.â
She sighed dramatically. âYou know how stubborn these boys are. They grew up idolizing their grandmother, so theyâll only accept the partner you choose. If we try to rush them, theyâll just avoid our calls, skip family gatherings, and refuse to cooperate. Itâs completely useless!â
Grandma May smiled indulgently, basking in her daughters-in-lawâs praise and affection. She had earned her reputation as the familyâs most trusted matriarch, and she enjoyed every moment of it.
