Mabie followed behind Vera.
Amelia sat there, looking rather awkward. Her eyes sparkled at the sight of the pasta. It smelled so good, and she had a taste right after Vera placed it down on the table.
"Your cooking skills are pretty good. You can make money and cook; that makes for great wife material. It would be a blessing for anyone who marries you."
The corner of Vera's lips twitched when she heard what she said.
She couldn't wait even for a moment to have a man introduced to her? She couldn't even wait to talk about it until she'd finished her pasta. The pasta should have been hard to resist.
In the next moment, Amelia stopped talking to Vera, as the pasta was too delicious, and she continued eating.
"Enjoy the pasta, Amelia. I'll be busy," Vera said.
"Vivy, don't be in a hurry to leave. I came here today because I have something I'd like to talk to you about," Amelia said.
Mabie stood there with a look on her face and thought to herself, "I knew it. I knew this would happen."
Vera replied, "Amelia, let's talk another day. The restaurant is quite busy today."
"No, no, let's talk now. I'll make it quick. Five minutes will do."
Vera was speechless.
"I have a nephew who came looking for me a few days ago. From what I can see, he is quite good looking and seems like an honest man. Apparently he already owns a house, but has yet to find a girlfriend. Vivy, you've been back for a while but still haven't gotten yourself a boyfriend, right? Thus, I thought of introducing you two to each other. Why not try to get to know him?"
In the past, Mabie would encourage it if someone wanted to introduce a boyfriend to Vera. However, she had seen Vera heartbroken just a few days ago. If she was to be introduced to a suitor now, it would only fail miserably and it would make her feel annoyed.
Hence, she had already refused Amelia before Vera came.
Who would have known that Amelia just wouldn't give up the idea. She kept praising her nephew, insisting on letting the two of them meet each other and giving it a shot.
"Uhh, Amelia, my daughter is pretty occupied with running the restaurant. You can see it too. Does she look like she has the time?" Mabie interrupted with a smile.
Amelia immediately waved her hands and rebutted.
"That's not a problem. I'll call him, and ask him to come by."
Mabie and Vera went quiet.
The two of them looked at each other in dismay, at a loss for words. Were they going to have a blind date right at her restaurant?
"Amelia, now is not a good time, is it?" Mabie asked uncertainly, "The restaurant is very busy. What if we are unable to attend to him when he comes here?"
"It's alright. He is a very helpful and hardworking person. You can even get him to help while he's here. Vivy, honestly, you are a great girl. It's too much work for you to run the restaurant alone. Furthermore, your parents are getting old, and you can't keep relying on them to help you. Why not find a man from the same city who has a house and get together with him? You can even have a few kids after you get married, and live a happy life."
Amelia had put it quite nicely, making life sound so easy and smooth sailing.
Unfortunately, Vera was not convinced.
However, Mabie was deeply impressed by Amelia's words. She had seen Quill the other day. He had been extremely handsome, but Vera was so mundane in comparison. Even if they got together, they wouldn't last very long.
As Amelia had said, it would be better to be practical and look for a realistic relationship instead.
