THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 773

"Are you planning on playing matchmaker?" Brock asked, easily deciphering his mother's intent.

Mrs. Palmer nodded.

"And who do you plan on introducing her to?" he pressed.

She smiled. "To you, of course." Mrs. Palmer made no effort to hide her admiration for Caitlin. A girl as wonderful as her should be kept in the family.

"Me?" Brock pointed to himself.

"Yes," Mrs. Palmer continued. "Miss Gonzales isn't just a brilliant doctor; she's beautiful and has an impeccable character. She's the perfect choice to be the future matriarch of the Palmer family." She sighed, a hint of worry in her voice. "I just don't know if she'd be interested in you."

A girl like Caitlin would have no shortage of suitors. While Brock was a fine catch, he would likely be just average among her many admirers.

Brock gave a weary smile. "Mom, please don't try to force things. I'm not looking to get married right now."

Though he was in his thirties, marriage wasn't on his immediate agenda. His life plan was to start dating at thirty-two, allow for a three-year relationship to develop, and then consider marriage at thirty-five. Rushing into something out of a sense of obligation would only lead to regret. He had always been a rational man, not one to be swayed by emotion.

Mrs. Palmer's brow furrowed. "Don't forget, she saved your life. Are you planning to be ungrateful?"

"I'm incredibly grateful that she saved me, and we can show our gratitude in other ways," Brock countered. "But I'd much rather a relationship develop naturally than be forced together out of obligation."
