As such, she had a few more pancakes for breakfast.
After Heidi had some porridge, she asked with a smile, “Both of you came back together last night. Where did you go?”
Before Mireya could answer, Ryan said lazily, ” She was in a bad mood. I was worried that she couldn’t get over some things, so I went out with her for a drink.”
Heidi turned her eyes to Mireya concernedly.
Amid her daze, Mireya was wondering why Ryan had to lie. “I…”
“She knows that Rodney is going to get married,” Ryan added.
Heidi frowned and looked at Mireya sympathetically. ” He sent the invitation card yesterday, but we’re not planning on attending his wedding.”
“It doesn’t matter, Godmother. I’ve gotten over it,” Mireya said generously.
Heidi nodded and admired Mireya’s maturity. After all, she herself was a strong woman. Therefore, she disliked people who were too weak. “It’s good that you’ve gotten over it. Given that you’re still young and pretty, you don’t have to worry that you can’t get a good partner. I happen to have a few candidates with rich family backgrounds and great personalities. You can contact them on WhatsApp to know them better. I’ll send you their numbers later.”
Mireya was speechless.
Ryan said sulkily, “Mom, as far as I know, a prime minister’s wife has a lot of things to deal with, yet you’re always busy matchmaking.”
Heidi rolled her eyes at him. “Precisely because I do have a lot of social functions to attend, I get to know quite a number of people who were born into rich families. Mireya is always in the lab, so she has a small social circle. That’s why when I come across the good ones, I take note of them for her.”
After pausing for a moment, she said to Mireya, “I’m doing this for your own good. Rodney is getting married soon, which will ultimately ruin your reputation to some extent. At this point, you should get a partner who’s better than Rodney to give Sarah and him a slap in the face. Since Rodney doesn’t cherish you, you need to make him realize that there’s someone out there who cherishes you more.”
Ryan muttered, “She goes home after work to look after Dani every day. How can she find the time to go on a date?”
“Can’t they contact each other on WhatsApp first?” Heidi said nonchalantly, “If you guys get along well, you can meet in person. Relationships are meant to be slowly developed. You can’t know someone well in one or two days. What’s more, who says she has to get married once she gets in a relationship? Women should enjoy the present.”
Deep down, Ryan was gloomy, but he was afraid of saying too much. Considering his mother’s intelligence, the more he said, the more easily he would expose himself.
Mireya did not know what to say.
What Heidi said was not wrong. Furthermore, she was quite open-minded and was only doing this for Mireya’s own good. If Mireya rejected it, it would mean that she was letting Heidi down.
Anyway, Mireya could chat with those potential partners first. If they were not well-matched, they could just be friends.
“Alright, Godmother. I’ll listen to you.”
After a while, she nodded.
Ryan’s blood boiled.
Only after they left the dining room did Ryan ask with a grave expression, “Do you want to get in a relationship that much?”
“No.” Mireya was baffled by his grim, handsome face. “Godmother is doing it out of kindness. She’s just concerned about me. Plus, my social circle is really small. Why do you… look unhappy?”
She was struck by a thought, but Ryan immediately said, “I’m worried that you’ll neglect Dani once you get in a relationship. She’s quite pitiful.”
“Don’t worry. At this stage, my daughter still matters most to me.” Mireya, who was in a rush to work, turned around to leave. All of a sudden, something occurred to her. “By the way, why did you… lie to your mom just now?”
“Are you referring to the incident yesterday?” Ryan shoved his hands into his pocket with a frank expression. “I was worried that my mom would nag me as she told me to socialize with a few international guests yesterday. I had to find a good excuse. It was great to make an excuse about you wanting to drink because you were sad. After all, it’s a problem if a woman gets drunk outside.”
“It turns out that you had something important going on yesterday.” Mireya began to feel guilty. “Don’t do this again next time. After all, socializing is important…”
“Forget it. It’s more relaxing to deal with you than those international guests.” Ryan stroked her head. “Don’t overthink things. You should start chatting with the few people my mom introduced to you. Having said that, don’t contact them abruptly. Tell me which person you have a good impression of first, and I’ll help you judge their character. Those rich men are good at hiding their tricks. From their appearance alone, you can’t tell whether they’re good or bad.”
“Mm.” Having complete trust in him, Mireya nodded and waved. “I’m going to work now. Bye.”
She waved at him.
Ryan looked at her back and smiled. Considering that he treated Mireya so well, he believed that she would be unused to other men’s treatment.
In addition, no matter how great those men were, they would be scummy compared to him.
…..
Shortly after Mireya arrived at the office, she saw three strange numbers on Whats.App.
At the same time, Heidi sent her a message. [I’ve sent your numbers to them. You can contact them first. If one doesn’t suit you, you can try the next person. Don’t contact all of them in one go, or you’ll be confused.]
Mireya was amused to see those men take the initiative to contact her.
After having a brief chat with them, Mireya realized that three of them were of considerable standing.
The first person was Connor West, whose family owned a bank. He was 32 years old and unmarried.
The second person was Louis Jolley, the nephew of a mayor in Canberra. Currently, his job was concerned with foreign affairs. He was 30 years old and unmarried. The third person was Jack Morgan, the youngest physics lecturer in a prestigious Australian university. He graduated from a top university and had even published a few theses. He had a brief marriage overseas at the age of 31, but he had gotten a divorce.
“Wow. The few men that your godmother chose for you are of high standing. They’re five to six years older than you, which is good.”
Cate approached Mireya from behind, looking curious and excited. “I quite admire you doing partner selection.”
Sure enough, Mireya was at a loss for words. Except for Jack who had a child, she was taken aback to know that the other two were unmarried. After all, many rich young women had trouble looking for a richer young man after they got a divorce.
It was all thanks to her identity as the prime minister’s goddaughter.
Nevertheless, she was a little upset due to that. “They’re interested in me just because I’m the prime minister’s goddaughter. Otherwise, how would these unmarried men want to be in touch with me, a divorced woman with a child?”
“Well, you’re pretty and young, which are your plus points. Get in touch with them and observe their characters first. If they’re too materialistic, forget it, then.”
Cate said with curiosity, “Let me see their photos first.”
As the three of them had unusual identities, their photos could be found on the internet.
After Mireya looked at their photos, she was a bit disappointed. “Their appearances are so-so”
]
Cate’s mouth twitched. “I think their looks are acceptable, considering that they look elegant and decent with beautiful features. Of course, they’re incomparable to Patrick, Rodney, and Ryan. You must know that it’s rare to find a capable, handsome, and kind family man.”
Mireya was speechless.
She had been in touch with some wealthy people in Canberra. Although Shaun and Chester were very handsome, many noble and wealthy men had long become bald and fat. It was good enough that they could fix those problems, Patrick’s good looks were probably why Linda kept pestering Patrick shamelessly. As for Rodney, he had good looks too, which explained why Sarah treated him as a backup.
Fine. She had better not care too much about one’s appearance.
Perhaps it would be safer to have a partner who was less handsome.
Just like that, Mireya was chatting mindlessly with the men. Nevertheless, it was a bit hectic to chat with the men while working. In particular, they were always chatting about what they were up to, what food they liked, as well as their hobbies.
Sometimes, Mireya had to answer two people the same question, so she felt rather annoyed.
From her observation, Connor always bragged about his ability and assets, whereas Louis was so materialistic that he tried probing her to find out whether she was close to the executive council. As for Jack, he was alright. Given that he was also involved in research and development, he had a few common topics with her. However, he was less humorous compared to Ryan.
She was probably comparing Jack to Ryan because she had been chatting with the latter every day.
Even when they were not chatting, Ryan would come up with some funny jokes, which made her double up with laughter.
At times, she wondered how Ryan found so many jokes.
……
Christmas was drawing near. Jack asked Mireya out, and she agreed to meet him after hesitating for a while.
It was because she wanted to feel the atmosphere on such a festive day. Another reason was that she wanted to get into a new relationship, so the first step was to meet him.
She deliberately put on a maroon woolen coat on Christmas. A lot of people looked old- fashioned in it, yet she looked striking due to her good looks and big eyes.
When Ryan left the house and ran into her this morning, his eyes flashed with a trace of amazement. At the same time, he had a sinking feeling. “Did you dress gorgeously today because you have a date to go on?”
“I’m having dinner with Jack,” Mireya said openly.
