After the New Year''s Eve Tragedy: Her Icy Return


    Chapter 99 The Whole Family


    +8 Pearls


    The only viable solution for now was to quickly find Caroline à husband from a rtively well-off family to prevent her from marrying an old man and embarrassing the Somertons.


    Before Miguel could speak, Edwin asked him, "I remember you saidsime that a colleague of yours was looking for a partner. Does that colleague have someone now?"


    Miguel''s colleague was a middle school teacher, not much older than Caroline.


    If Caroline married him, although it wouldn''t bring much honor to the Somertons, at least marrying a teacher was better than marrying an old man.


    Besides, someone in the education field might be able to discipline Caroline a bit.


    Miguel didn''t answer his question. After a short pause, he asked, "You''re not thinking of matching Caroline with my colleague, are you?"


    "That''s right. Helen is about to get married. If Caroline, as her aunt, is still staying at home, the neighbors will gossip."


    Hearing this, Miguel''s face grew more troubled. "That won''t do! That colleague is divorced and has a child. If Caroline marries him, wouldn''t she be a stepmother?"


    Edwin didn''t see anything wrong with that. "What''s wrong with being a stepmother? A stepmother is still a mother."


    There are plenty of people in this world who remarry with children. If everyone avoided bing a stepparent, then there wouldn''t be any blended families.


    Miguel said, "It''s not that there''s anything wrong with being a stepmother, but Caroline is still young and deserves better options."


    Their mother had always hoped Caroline would marry into the Graysons and live a good life. Although that was no longer possible, and she couldn''t achieve financial freedom by marrying the Graysons now, she should still marry someone close to her age with a fairly decent family background.


    At the very least, someone who won''t let her suffer or feel mistreated.


    Edwin''s expression darkened, and he looked at him with clear dissatisfaction. "Keep spoiling her. I think she''s been spoiled by you! Think this over carefully. If you can find someone better than that colleague, then don''t go with the teacher. But if you can''t, then you should do your best to match Caroline with him."


    As he finished speaking, he happened to see Helen and ina walking out of the hotel lobby. His expression immediately softened, and he waved at them.


    And Miguel knew that saying anything more now would be pointless. He just shook his head and sighed.


    Caroline, who was on her way to Gxy Bay Residences, had no idea that Edwin was nning to arrange a blind date for her.


    But even if she knew, she wouldn''t agree to it.


    After living life over again she had figured it out

    Chapter 99 The Whole Family


    family, she wouldn''t be the least bit tempted.


    *8 Pearls


    As usual, Caroline finished her food delivery work and didn''t get home until almost 9 p.m.


    At home, the whole family was gathered around the coffee table in the living room, chatting and snacking From the smiles on their faces, it was easy to tell-they were clearly happy because Helen was about to join the Graysons.


    The next two days went by just the same for her-leaving early and returningte. Everything was business


    as usual.


    On the third night, when Caroline got home, the house was pitch ck.


    She turned on the light by the door. The house was empty; not even Wren was there.


    It was dead silent.


    Caroline didn''t think much of it. After showering, she returned to her room andy in bed, ying on her phone.


    As she scrolled through WhatsApp Status, she saw a post from Liam.


    It was a photo taken at a restaurant, showing the brothers, Helen, and ina; even Wren was in it.


    The key was the caption.


    "Tomorrow, my niece will join the circle of the wealthy and start a new chapter in life. Really reluctant to part with her. Tonight, the whole family had dinner together to celebrate."


    Seeing the words "whole family", a mocking smile curled on Caroline''s lips.


    So, in Liam''s eyes, Wren was considered family-but she wasn''t.


    The words stung, but thankfully, Caroline had long since stopped having any emotional expectations of them.


    It was better not to see posts like that again.


    She immediately deleted Liam from her WhatsApp.


    That night, she went to bed early.


    The next morning, she was woken up byughtering from the living room.


    "Helen, your health isn''t great. After going to the Graysons, you must take care of yourself."


    Right after ina finished speaking, Liam''s voice followed.


    "ina, don''t worry. The Graysons are wealthy and have many servants. As long


    as Helen lifts a finger, someone wille serve her. She won''t need to lift a hand


    at all." Liam''s tone was joyful, even a little excited.


    He was acting as if he himself were going to live in luxury.
