The Matchmaking

Levi trudged back to his car. He sat in the driver's seat with his eyes closed a long time before he finally calmed down.

The sudden sound of his phone ringing interrupted his train of thought. He picked up the phone and said in a hoarse voice, "Mom."

Mrs Emily Stone, an elegant woman. She has been the head of the family for years since the death of Levi's father. So the family has been directed by her firm grip, she left the position for Levi 6 years ago when she knew he was matured enough to lead the family.

"Hi Son. Can we meet. I have something important to discuss with you." Mrs Stone said excitedly on the phone 

" Alright Mom. Where do you want us to meet" he replied her

"At the restaurant opposite your company that your employees visit during lunch"

"Okay Ma. See you soon" he hung up the call 

In a fancy restaurant, the elegant Mrs. Stone looked at her son's long face, and asked worriedly, "What happened?"

"Nothing! Levi lowered his head and cut the steak carefully, but his movements were sometimes interrupted by his stagnant thoughts.

He was completely absent-minded. His mother smiled and said, "That's good. I know you only care about the company and the kid. By the way, one of my friends daughters is a nice girl. Oh you should remember Mrs Bright and her daughter Carmel Bright." 

"Yes, I remember them." He replied his mother knowingly trying to get an hint at where she is heading.

"Alright. So she just came back from abroad. She is well-educated and reasonable. She is a good person. You should meet her. Even if not for yourself, then at least for the child. At least for Michael. That kid needs a mother" Mrs Stone continued to praise her friend daughter 

"Mom, I've told you that I already have a wife" Levi put down his knife and tried to be patient with his mother as he was pissed by what happened earlier in the day.

His mother nodded and compromised. "Yes, yes. You said her name is Ashley, right? And that she went abroad to study after marrying you five years ago. But she hasn't come back at all during the past five years, right?"

She buttressed "She just got a marriage certificate with you. Apart from that, it's like she doesn't belong to this world at all. Your old grandmother might have been happy to hear that you got married, but do you think that I will also believe your story?"

Levi pressed his lips into a straight line and didn't say anything.

"I know my words might upset you, but as your mother, it's my duty to tell you these things. Five years ago, your grandmother was seriously ill. Her greatest wish was to see you settle down, and you gave her what she wanted.But she has recovered now. You can't continue to live in a fantasy."

"That woman continue to live in a fantasy. That woman called Ashley hasn't come back for five years. Even if she really exists, you can't wait for her for a lifetime. Son, listen to me. Just move on. Even if you don't need a woman by your side, your baby needs a mother" she said at once 

Levi gave the steak he had cut to his mother and said, "Mom, eat the food please. I have something to deal with in the company."

His mother looked at him and sighed " Alright Son, but keep what I told you about my friends' daughters. I would give you a call later. Till then."

Then, he stood up abruptly and walked out of the restaurant. When he was outside, he suddenly stopped and squinted his eyes at the people walking past him.

For a moment, he felt as if he had seen Ashley among the crowd. But the very next second, she seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Though Ashley hadn't been able to meet Levi, she had to focus on participating in the company's event first.

She had worked as a model in the United States. Because of the natural advantage that her tall frame and long legs gave her, as well her tall frame and long legs gave her, as well as her confidence and her professional skills, she had quickly gained a place in the American model circle.

However, since she had to take care of her son, her working time was limited, so she hadn't gained much recognition.

But now, Alex was old enough to go to school. Before returning to Carrivile Country, she had contacted with Starlight Entertainment Company, and signed a one-year contract with them. 

Ashley went straight to the Princeton Hotel. Tonight, she was going to attend a party thrown by a luxury fashion show that was arranged by the company.

This party was specially arranged for the models and the judges of the fashion show, so that they could get familiar with each other first.

The first round of the test was set to take place in three days. If a model didn't perform well at tonight's party, they would not even qualify to take the first round of the test.

Only after a model passed both the first and second rounds of the test could they officially. This party was specially arranged for the models and the judges of the fashion show, so that they could get familiar with each other first.
