Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts

Chapter 303

Ashley was a bit miffed. Her brother had all those traits, so were they choosing based on his image? Talk about calculated!

"By the way. your friend Aubrey mentioned that Aaron is still single. Silvia, you know Aaron, right? What do you think of him? Would you consider him?" Erica suddenly remembered someone fitting the bill.

Upon hearing this, Silvia looked troubled and Ashley seemed embarrassed. Ines was struggling to stifle her laughter, thinking Ashley really dug herself into a hole here.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Ethan noticed Ines trying to hide her amusement and pinched her waist. finding the whole situation rather funny.

Before Ashley could say anything, Phillip quickly dismissed the idea, "Aaron isn’t bad, but he's almost 10 years older than Silvia. That's too much of an age difference. Not suitable."

Lauren agreed, "Yeah, that kind of age gap is too much. It's not ideal." “It's not that bad, though, is it? As long as Silvia and he like each other, why not?” Ashley pushed a bit further.

"What do you know? Women typically live longer than men. If the man is 10 years older, he'll likely die first, leaving the woman alone for more than a decade." Erica pondered and agreed that the earlier suggestion wasn't appropriate.

“You guys are thinking way too far ahead! These things are unpredictable. Plus, they'll surely have kids to keep them company by then." Ashley blurted out. "Kids to keep them company? Do you see how many kids in today's society can keep their elderly parents company? Kids have jobs and they will have their own children. Nothing can replace the company of a spouse. In our case, we only get to visit grandpa on the weekends.” Lauren countered

Ashley fell silent, and Phillip chimed in again, "Aaron is indeed too old. You guys should find a more suitable match for Silvia. Once you've found him, arrange a meeting as soon as possible. No more delays.”

Ines noticed Ashley's crestfallen expression and thought that if she and Aaron really got together, their family would likely disapprove due to the age difference.

It was getting late, so Phillip asked the staff to serve lunch. Everyone's favorite dishes were prepared, except for Ines, who had several dishes she loved.

Ashley seemed down and claimed to be full after a while, retreating to her room to rest.

Phillip shook his head, "This kid, eats like a cat. Eats a little bit at a time, then gets hungry again very soon."

Once Ashley got to her room, she texted Aaron. As soon as her message was sent. Aaron called back, "What happened?" Ashley rolled her eyes, "Just trying to set you up with someone.”

"Why didn't you stop it?" Aaron sounded quite upset.

"How could I stop it? It's not within my power. You only promised to consider me, but I already have a boyfriend. How could I possibly interfere?” Ashley sat on her bed, swinging her legs back and forth, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"Don't play innocent. I've watched you grow up. I know you could stop it if you wanted to.” Aaron said.

She had initially planned to help Ines by getting rid of Silvia, but it wouldn't be right to push her onto Aaron. So she held back her thoughts, otherwise, Silvia might have to start dating as early as tomorrow. But if Silvia agreed, then her days of freedom would be numbered.

There was a long silence on the phone. Ashley faked annoyance, “What are you thinking? Speak up. If you're interested, it's not too late. I can still arrange a meeting for you."

"Stop messing around.” Aaron finally responded, sounding resigned. "I thought you were going to keep silent. Hearing this, don't you have anything to say?" Ashley asked. "Ashley, let's leave this matter aside for now. You break up with your boyfriend first.” Aaron said.

"I'm not breaking up. I've finally found someone suitable. If we can't work it out, all my efforts will be wasted. I won't do such a stupid thing." Ashley said.

Aaron felt like his head was about to explode. This little devil was definitely here to torment him.

“You'd better figure out your feelings scon. If my relationship with my boyfriend gets too deep, you'll miss your chance." Ashley said “Break up first." Aaron insisted Ashley was firm, "I won't break up. I won't do such a foolish thing.”

"You little brat.” Aaron said, both annoyed and amused.

That was enough. The worries that Ashley had earlier evaporated during her call with Aaron. After lunch, Ethan had something to discuss with Jacob, so Ines had to go back to her room alone for a nap.

Just as she was about to lie down, she heard a knock on the door. Thinking it was Ashley, she called out for her to come in, only to find Silvia entering instead. This made Ines’ smile freeze on her face.
