Volume 2 Chapter 64 - I also want to work (1/2)

Wella was sitting in the chair in a daze, staring blankly at her aunt sitting opposite of her talking at her.

“Baron Stanley’s son looks quite good and has quite the good character. I’ve heard people who know him say that he never liked to play around like the other noble sons in the city, he always stayed home and helped Baron Stanley manage the family business. Listen to me, although Baron Stanley is not a large noble in our Banta City, the land under him is not smaller than Viscount Leslie…...Oh, it should be under Baron Belil now. It’s close to twenty hectares if it is all added up. If you marry him……”

Wella couldn’t help giving a sigh.

This was the reason why she didn’t like going home.

She was from Banta City and her family’s home was in a small village that was less than five kilometers to the north of Banta City.

Although she seemed to have a cold personality, she was a very filial daughter. Even when she went to Saltan City for work, she would come back home once in a while to spend time with her parents.

But what made it hard for her to accept was that every time she went home, there were some elders of the family that came to urge her to get married, which made her feel very irritated.

When her relationship with Rem hadn’t changed yet, these people had urged her to settle with Rem and get married.

But after they learned that she split up with Rem, everyone changed their goals. They introduced her to all kinds of men, even urging her to get married right away.

“Could it be that I can’t be married?” Sometimes Wella couldn’t help angrily thinking this.

To be honest, she was already twenty five. On the Sines Continent, women who were twenty five and were still unmarried were considered late.

Wella’s classmates and the girls of the same age from her village were all married, with some of them even having kids. She was the only one who was still left.

Her personality was rather cold, but because Rem stuck to her without giving up, he finally received some approval from her. After they had split up, it would be strange if her family wasn’t worried about her.

Knowing that her aunt was thinking about her wellbeing and that this must be her parent’s idea, even if Wella wasn’t willing, she still had to listen through it.

Her aunt heard Wella sigh and got the wrong idea, so she asked in a surprised voice, “Wella, you’re not satisfied with Baron Stanley’s son? Let me tell you,he’s already very good. No matter what he is still a noble and if it wasn’t for the fact that you were a magician, he probably wouldn’t even like you. Now that he’s willing to come in contact with you and meet you, you have to grab this chance. What are you waiting for? You’re already twenty five, if another two years pass, perhaps you won’t even be able to get married. Look, your little brother is turning twenty this year and he’s still not married yet. If you don’t get married, your little brother can’t get married. Could it be that you want your little brother to miss out on his happiness?”

Hearing the cliches that she had heard a hundred times, Wella just kept silent.

Baron Stanley’s son? A real noble’s son?

Humph!

Wella didn’t believe this.

Based on what her aunt said, Baron Stanley’s son was already twenty six this year and he still wasn’t married.

According to Wella’s understanding of the sons of nobles, this fellow either hadn’t played enough, doesn’t want to get married at all, or he just didn’t like women.

For a man that was twenty six and still wasn’t married, it would be strange if there weren’t any problems at all!

But thinking about it, Wella suddenly remembered that Xu Yi seemed to be twenty eight this year and he still hadn’t gotten married yet.

Comparing this, wouldn’t his problem be even bigger than Baron Stanley’s son?

Thinking of this, Wella couldn’t help revealing a smile.

If Xu Yi and Still were to know about her thoughts, it really was unknown what kind of reaction they would have.

“Next time I see Xu Yi, should I remind him to propose to Still? Based on Still’s appearance, she seems like she is dead set on Xu Yi anyway.” Wella didn’t notice that her thoughts were filled with gossip just like her aunt.

After a while, perhaps her uncle was tired of his wife’s jabbering, so he found a reason to call her away and finally gave Wella a moment of silence.

When they went out to calm down, a tall figure suddenly appeared beside Wella.

“Cousin Wella, can I ask you something?”

Wella looked up and saw her cousin who was half a head taller than her. She said with a smile, “What is it? Tell me.”

Cousin Soob looked to the side at his parents not far away and pulled out of the room. They went to a remote corner outside the house and he said in a low voice, “Cousin Wella, I’ve heard that your Frestech Chamber of Commerce is recruiting workers?”

Wella was surprised. She thought about it before shaking her head and saying, “I’m not too clear on this, but I’ve heard the chairman mention that our company would be expanding soon, so we should be recruiting workers.”
