No matter how hard the Caron family tried to convince him, Julian insisted he had no power to stop his parents’ actions, leaving them feeling helpless. They thought that if Julian’s parents did come over, they would simply entertain them well. Suddenly, Mrs. Caron’s cell phone rang. She pulled out her phone and answered the call without checking the caller ID. “Matchmaker Foley,” she greeted. Upon hearing Mrs. Caron’s response, Kendrick and Kiera immediately tuned in to their mother’s conversation with Matchmaker Foley. “You want to introduce a boyfriend for our Kiera? What kind of job does he have? Are you aware of Kiera’s situation? You don’t think I’m going to harm him like the previous ones, right? Listen, Matchmaker Foley, if the man is worried that Kiera might be violent, there’s no need to meddle. Kiera will not marry someone who thinks that way. I would rather support her for the rest of my life than let her be with someone prone to domestic violence.” Matchmaker Foley smiled on the other end of the line. “I assure you, that won’t happen this time. I’ve made it clear to everyone involved that Kiera is a wonderful girl with a cheerful and independent spirit. I truly admire her. If my son were older, I would certainly do my best to bring him and Kiera together.” She continued, “This time, I am introducing Kiera to my colleague’s son. His family is well-off and comparable to yours. He works for a large company and is often too busy for relationships. My colleague mentioned she’d like to schedule a meeting for the two of them tomorrow. Would that work for Kiera?” Mrs. Caron asked, “What is your colleague’s son like? Do you know his character? We know each other well, so you can’t deceive my daughter.” Although Mrs. Caron felt that Kiera had yet to experience love at her age,

At twenty-four, she felt anxious about finding a man to marry. Matchmaker Foley said, “I’ve only met my colleague’s son once or twice. He looks decent, but I can’t guarantee his true character. However, my colleague is very easy to get along with, so I assume her son isn’t too bad. The best way to assess him is to meet and interact for a while. You’ll get to know whether he has a good or bad character. Even if I say he’s great, it takes time to really understand him. You can’t just take my word for it—you need to spend time together to see how he truly is.” Mrs. Caron smiled, replying, “That sounds good. Let’s arrange to meet tomorrow. Where should we go? Please give me the address, and I’ll ask Kiera to be there.”

Matchmaker Foley responded, “It’s not far—it’s at the milk tea and snack shop near your martial arts gym. I’ll send you a photo of my colleague’s son. You can show it to Kiera, and we can meet tomorrow. Tell Kiera to dress more femininely; she is very attractive. If she puts on some light makeup, wears a skirt, and high heels, she’ll look stunning. This will significantly increase the chances of a successful blind date.” Mrs. Caron agreed, also feeling that her daughter’s style was too androgynous.

After hanging up, Mrs. Caron quickly received the photo from Matchmaker Foley. Upon seeing the man’s picture, she felt a bit disappointed as he appeared slightly overweight. “Is Matchmaker Foley suggesting another boy for our daughter?” Mr. Caron asked, taking a sip of wine and picking up a chopstick to eat.
