Ch. 5336: Married at First Sight Chapter 5336

Chapter 5336

Fabian smiled casually.
“My three older brothers are still single, so there’s no rush. My parents don’t pressure me either. They say it’s my life—I should decide for myself.”

“They won’t be with me forever. The most they can do is leave me some money. But honestly, I can earn my own. I don’t really care about inheritance.”

He chuckled lightly.
“My dad always says—when fate comes, you can’t stop it. When it doesn’t, you can’t force it.”

“He was pressured into marriage too, but he just hadn’t met the right person yet.”

Then he added with a hint of amusement,
“And then my mom… ran away while she was pregnant with me. My dad was furious.”

“But in the end, they still got married and had me. He says that’s fate.”

Belle had heard bits of that story before.

The love stories of the older generation could each fill a novel of their own.

Fabian continued,
“My mom really likes you. She’s always telling me to pursue you. But we grew up together—I’ve always seen you as a little sister. I just can’t think of you that way.”

Everyone knew Lilian adored Belle and wanted to become in-laws with the York family.

But Fabian’s feelings were purely familial.

Belle smiled gently.
“You’re such a great guy—you’ll definitely meet someone even better.”

Fabian nodded confidently.
“Of course. I trust my judgment. The girl I like has to be outstanding.”

He added with a laugh,
“But I don’t want a doctor, and I don’t want a career-driven woman like my sister either. They’re too busy. Even if I don’t expect them to handle the family, they wouldn’t have time for me.”

“I can’t live like Hendrix—basically in a long-distance relationship.”

Belle laughed softly.
“Then you’d better find someone with an easy schedule. But can you really go home on time yourself? You can’t expect someone to be there for you if you’re never there for them.”

Fabian shrugged.
“My work is flexible. I manage my own time—I can leave whenever I want.”

“Alright,” Belle said teasingly. “I’ll keep an eye out for someone suitable and introduce you.”

Fabian laughed.
“You should introduce your seven brothers first. I’ll find my own.”

“That’s true,” Belle said with a grin. “All seven of my brothers are still single.”

As they chatted, neither of them noticed the elder quietly following behind.

Watching the young pair ahead, Lilian sighed to Jane,
“Time really flies. My little crybaby is almost thirty now.”

She looked at Fabian and Belle together and added regretfully,
“They look so good together. Why doesn’t he like her? Belle is such a sweet girl.”

“If he did,” she sighed, “he could at least compete with Milo.”

Jane smiled knowingly.
“They grew up too close. Some people just can’t cross that line once they’ve become like family.”

Lilian sighed again.

She had once hoped to match Fabian with Belle—
even thought about sending him to the York family to grow up alongside her.

But what developed wasn’t romance.

It was a sibling bond.

Not everyone, she thought, was like Hendrix or Milo—
people who could fall in love with those closest to them.

After a moment, Lilian said,
“Jane, let’s go to Annenburg next week. There’s an auction—I want to check it out… and also visit my apprentice.”

Jane considered it briefly.
“I’ll have to check my schedule and see if I can make time.”
