Jaxon immediately said, "Try to leave if you dare. I think you should either choose a bride for yourself or let me choose one for you, and then announce your engagement to the world!"
"You're really... very cunning." He couldn't believe Jaxon came up with such an idea.
Jaxon took it as a compliment and proudly said, "Just so you know, experience is important... Besides, I'm not doing this just for you. Your uncle Aaron, Mitchell, and Colton are all still single too."
"Then go ahead and help them pick someone. I don't need it. After all, there are only three of us from our family of four here. I'm very generous, letting these noble ladies be chosen by my uncle and cousins. You don't need to praise me for being magnanimous. It's what I should do."
"Ha... How can it be their turn when the marriage of the head of our family hasn't been settled yet? Don't play dumb!"
Aaron couldn't help but join in: "Exactly! You don't even listen to your grandfather. That girl, Stephanie, may be pretty, but she's just a fling at best. Marrying her? What's that about?
I wouldn't do such a thing. Isn't that just making our Ingram family a laughing stock?
If you really like her, just take care of her like a canary after marriage. Can't the head of the Ingram family afford to keep a canary?"
Sebastian coldly said, "Aaron, you should mind your own business!"
"Ha, Sebastian, I'm just reminding you out of kindness."
"Sorry, I don't need it!"
"Alright, you two, the guests are here."
Three elegantly dressed noble ladies were invited into the Ingram family's living room.
The eldest, Angelina Peck, took the lead.
Angela and Caroline Snider, the niece of Rebecca, followed behind.
And this Miss Snider was also wearing a cheongsam, looking very innocent, with a knitted shawl over her shoulders, making her look like a gentle and elegant lady.
However, these were not the most important points.
What was important was that this Miss Snider was Stephanie's cousin.
"To pay our respects to the grandfather of the Ingram family," the three ladies bowed in unison.
Jaxon smiled and said, "You've all arrived... It feels like just yesterday you were all children, and now you've grown up. Time flies.
Sebastian, you and Miss Peck are old acquaintances. I'll leave these three young people for you to entertain. Have fun together."
With that, he prepared to go upstairs, seemingly indifferent. But at the stairs, he looked back at Sebastian and said, "If you run away, Stephanie will be in big trouble. If you don't believe me, you can try and see what measures I'll take."
