Natasha giggled when she saw Andrew’s serious expression. She said, “Darling, don’t get so worked up. It’s not that we have a problem with your junior… At his age, it’s really hard to find someone.”
She suggested, “You could still approach this differently if you want. What if we just found someone around his age?”
Andrew shook his head without hesitation. “No, absolutely not. My women are all breathtaking ladies. All of them are real knockouts. How could I possibly find someone old for him?
“At the very least, she has to come from a powerful or influential family. Ideally, she should be from one of the elite houses. That way, Amari will have some prestige, and I can rest easy knowing he won’t be taken advantage of.”
Aspen chimed in, “Well, with your connections, you could definitely pull that off for him. Sure, even if a woman thought he was too old, she might overlook that because of you. But let’s be realistic, there’s no chance a young heiress would be interested in him. The only options left are the older ones… Maybe a widow, or someone divorced with kids or grandkids.”
Natasha nodded in agreement. “Exactly, that’s how it is. In today’s world, once you hit a certain age, finding a wife becomes really tough. Especially for someone like Amari who’s already in his 70s…”
Andrew frowned and rubbed his temples. “Fine. I guess I was being pretty naive about this whole thing. But there’s no way I’m setting him up with a divorcee or a widow with kids, or worse, someone with grandchildren already.
“Even if he were interested, which he’s not, I’d never approve. Do you know who Amari and I are? With our prestige, if Amari marries someone divorced with kids, or even has grandkids… How would that look? How would we face the other big names after that?”
Aspen laughed. “You know, you’re kind of adorable right now. Here you are, worried sick about this guy who’s so much older than you, like you’re his father or something.”
Andrew looked thoughtful and said, “Let me tell you about the person I’ve been considering. There’s a woman named Valerie from the Reyes family. Now, she can be a bit much sometimes… You know, arrogant and dismissive. But overall, she’s got the looks, the charm, and a solid career. You both know Luna Phelans, right? Well, Valerie is considered her equal in terms of status and presence.”
Aspen’s eyes went wide in shock. “Hold on… The Reyes family is one of the five great clans, isn’t it? And if Valerie is on the same level as Luna, she’s got to be absolutely stunning. There’s no way Amari even stands a chance.”
Natasha shook her head firmly. “No way, that’s impossible. We all know Luna… She’s genuinely one of a kind, a true prodigy. Between her looks, her accomplishments, and her position as a general in the military, she’s someone I honestly look up to as a woman.
“And if you’re saying Valerie is Luna’s equal, then she’s bound to have suitors lining up for miles. There’s just no way you could make that happen for Amari. I don’t see any realistic chance here.”
Andrew nodded in understanding. “That’s exactly why I’m considering her for Amari. She’s someone with real standing and prestige. If she weren’t worth pursuing, I wouldn’t even be thinking about her for Amari.
“Look, let me sleep on it for now. Tomorrow, I’m going to sit down with Amari personally and discuss this whole situation. Then we’ll figure out the best way to move forward.”
