Chapter 1395: Chapter 1395: Marriage of the Blanc Family
The servants of the Sumrs Family gradually ca to know that there was a new caregiver in the household.
Clyde Sumrs was also very careful and discreet, concerned about her reputation, he only dared to tease her when no one else was around, just to satisfy himself.
Despite this, he was content with it.
Just the thought of Atra Blanc being under the sa roof with him gave him a sense of security, as if he had an arranged bride.
However, things did not go smoothly. Before long, the Blanc Family sohow got the news that Atra was at the Sumrs’ place and ca visiting, intending to take her back.
The Blanc Family had arranged a marriage for Atra.
The man who first married Jasmine Blanc had a cousin, also a wealthy young man. Having heard that the won of the Blanc Family were extraordinary, his interest was piqued, and after seeing a photo of Atra, he was even more pleased and proactively discussed the marriage with the Blanc Family.
This was seen as a good thing for the Blanc Family, especially since Atra had been away for over two months, and the rumors outside were quite disgraceful. Marrying her off would stop the losses in ti.
Although arranged marriages were no longer in vogue, most marriages still relied on interdiaries to connect the dots, and it was not uncommon for parents to introduce marriage prospects.
But if Atra were really to marry him, her husband and her aunt’s man would be like brothers, and it would be very awkward in terms of hierarchy.
Atra refused, feeling disheartened and declined to return to the Blanc Family.
When tensions reached a boiling point, Clyde Sumrs wanted to argue with the Blanc Family, but was stopped by the Old Master Sumrs: “What good would it do you to go?”
Indeed, how could a fifteen-year-old boy have the confidence to argue with the Blanc Family?
In the end, it was the Old Master Sumrs who stepped in and dismissed the Blancs.
Atra thought it was because the Old Master was highly respected and no one in the family wanted to offend him, which made the Blancs back down. But Clyde knew clearly that they left due to his father’s promise.
His father agreed to give them three tis the betrothal gifts. This was actually equivalent to… equivalent to buying Atra out of the Blanc Family.
It was said that the preparation of the prescription was extrely difficult, and raising a woman was not easy; the Blanc Family was unwilling to make a losing deal, which might be considered “human nature.”
Clyde didn’t dare let Atra know about these things, afraid it would make her even more upset…
At the sa ti, he also clearly realized that he was too weak, and the only thing he seed able to offer her was happiness during her tis of distress, while everything else depended on his father.
He truly wanted to grow up quickly.
He wanted to provide her with shelter on his own shoulders without needing to rely on anyone else’s strength.
…
After the second grade concluded, sumr vacation ca. The upcoming third grade would be their final sprint towards exam preparation.
The Old Master Sumrs called Clyde Sumrs to the study, where a few brochures of foreign university admissions lay on the table.
Clyde looked at the Old Master in astonishnt, “Didn’t we agree last ti…”
“Agree on what?” The Old Master looked at him impassively, “I agreed to take in Atra on the condition that you must focus your mind on your studies.”
“There are good universities dostically too, why is it necessary to go abroad?” Clyde furrowed his brows tightly.
He was very resistant to the idea of going abroad.
Being in the country, he could co back at any ti; a week, a month, whenever there was a holiday, he could return during New Year’s and other festivals, but once abroad, without a year or half a year, how could he co back?
The Old Master said, “Going abroad will be better for your future developnt. These schools are quite good. You can choose one, and next sester I will arrange for you to transfer to an international class. The students there use textbooks from abroad, serving as a transition.”
Clyde remained sullen-faced, silent for a long ti.
The Old Master thought for a while, then spoke again: “You need to go out and broaden your horizons. Your current problem is that your vision is too narrow, only focusing on the small area in front of you. What kind of future prospects will you have?”
In the eyes of n, being overly sentintal is never an advantage; it only leads to being emotionally driven and lacking resolve.
