Sorry for Your Loss, It's Me, I'm the Loss novel Chapter 828

“How exactly do you expect me to help Caroline? Shove her into Noah's bed?” Yvonne let out a derisive laugh. “What century are we in? Sleeping with someone doesn't mean you have to marry them anymore.”

“That's not what we meant,” Mrs. James said quickly. “We were thinking you could introduce them. Let them get to know each other, build a connection. Once they have feelings for each other, marriage will naturally follow.”

Like most parents, they thought their child was the best.

Caroline was plain-looking, so they insisted she had a beautiful soul. In reality, she was dull, not particularly bright, and certainly not well-read.

Yvonne thought that if they truly loved their daughter, they'd find her an ordinary man. The James family might be fading among the elite, but to a regular person, they were still wealthy.

As a James, Caroline would be marrying down, and her husband would dote on her, giving her the emotional validation she needed for a happy life.

But her parents wanted it all, and in doing so, they were wasting Caroline's best years.

“Noah and Cynthia Scott were childhood sweethearts. They have over twenty years of history,” Yvonne said slowly. “If your daughter wants to build that kind of connection with him, she should probably start now. In another twenty years, they might be ready for marriage.”

“What does the Scott family have to do with this?” Mrs. James asked, confused.

“You don't know? Noah got divorced for Cynthia. She's his childhood sweetheart, his first love, the one who got away. You want Caroline to compete with the heiress of the Scott family for a man? Does she have a death wish?” Yvonne scoffed.

Caroline was simple and naive, even more so than Karina. If she fell into Cynthia's clutches, she wouldn't survive the first episode.

Cynthia was the type who wanted to have her cake and eat it too—she wanted the man, but also a pristine reputation. That was why no one in their social circle knew she was the one who had pushed for Noah's divorce.
