Chapter 1078: Chapter 1076: Why did you suddenly ask about this?

"I do. What makes you suddenly ask about this?" Lady Patrice asked, puzzled.

Rebecca pressed her lips together, even though she thought the possibility was very small, the moment she considered that the probability wasn’t zero, she found it unbearable: "Mom, do you know about Kelloway family’s lost daughter? It’s said that the White family has been searching for her for over ten years, but with no luck. Now, it seems there might finally be some clue— they say she might be in Closia."

"Have you spoken with Madam White about this? What did she say?"

"She did mention it to me casually today," Lady Patrice pondered and then stated, "but she didn’t say much, only expressing her envy that I have both you and Regina as my daughters. She said she pities her missing daughter who might be suffering somewhere unknown, and wishes she could find her and make amends."

"Rebecca, why did you suddenly bring up this topic? Is something going on? Do you have any leads?"

"No," Rebecca drew a deep breath, "I simply recalled the incident and thought to discuss it casually."

"Really?" Lady Patrice still harbored some suspicions, but chose not to press further on this matter. Instead, she changed the subject," Rebecca, how was your conversation with Gary White today? You didn’t chat for long before you returned. Were you upset?"

Lady Patrice was more concerned about matchmaking Rebecca with Gary White.

She wouldn’t have been so anxious, usually.

But...

"Mom, are you trying to set me up with him?" Thoughts of Gary White’s terrible attitude made Rebecca’s face grow colder, "I’m not interested in a man like him, so you can save yourself the trouble of matchmaking us."

The color drained from Lady Patrice’s face: "Why aren’t you interested? What did he do to make you dislike him?"

"Anyway, just stop meddling." Impatience surfaced on Rebecca’s face, "It’s impossible between the two of us."

Hearing Rebecca’s firm response, Lady Patrice’s expression shifted: "Why would it be impossible? Among your peers, he is the most outstanding and most compatible with you. Moreover, the White family has only one son. If you marry into their family, you’ll be the one and only young mistress of their family, guaranteeing a worry-free future."

"Rebecca, your mother knows you’re still pining over that brat from the Heath family. But you can’t waste your youth on him, you know. Even though I hope you’d marry into the Heath family, it’s an idea better not forced."

"Speaking of which, the White family only falls slightly short of the Heath family, but the margins are small. Gary White personally stands out among his peers. Marrying him would be the best choice for you."

"Also, I’ve sounded out Madam White. She is very fond of you. She has a gentle temperament and won’t be the kind of mother-in-law who thrives on making life difficult for others. I would feel relieved if you marry into the White family."

Rebecca still wore a stern expression: "In any case, it’s impossible between him and me. Mom, please don’t try to set him and me up anymore."

"Rebecca, are you still pining over Ashton?" Lady Patrice’s expression soured, "What are you waiting for? So, if he doesn’t marry, you won’t either? If you were to wait for something worthwhile, I wouldn’t mind. But after all these years, tell me, did you get what you hoped for?"

"There are only a few prime years in a girl’s life. If you keep waiting like this, you’ll become a leftover woman!"

"So what?" Rebecca clenched her teeth, her face becoming hard, "No matter what, I’ll never marry a man I don’t like. I will make my own decisions about my life, I don’t need anyone else to arrange it for me."
