Not Quite Convenient
Downstairs, Old Master Quirke spoke up again, this time with gentle persuasion, “You’re still young, so
don’t make your life revolve around your work. I heard that the kid from the Martin family will also be
participating in the free clinic this time. If I remember correctly, the two of you seemed to get along well
with each other during my last birthday party?”
In other words, he wanted Rosalie to consider Leon as a potential partner.
Hearing Old Master Quirke’s words, Rosalie could not help feeling a little helpless.
Old Master Quirke seemed to greatly concern himself with her marriage. First, he asked her to consider
Andrius, then two days ago, he brought up the current representative of the Lancer family. Now, it was
Leon. He was practically doing all he could to find someone for her.
“That kid from the Martin family is also a doctor. I have to say, the two of you seem like you would be a
good match.” Old Master Quirke had pondered over this carefully, and he emphasized it with his
sincere and heartfelt words.
Rosalie could not refuse directly, so she could only look at Old Master Quirke awkwardly as she
replied, “Let’s wait until we’re done with the free clinic. Right now, my mind is solely on the free clinic. I
don’t really want to think about anything else for now.”
Old Master Quirke gave her a disapproving look. “You might be able to wait, but your two children can’t.
They’re still so young, so how can they grow up without a father?”
Seeing Old Master Quirke being so obsessed with this matter gave Rosalie a headache.
In addition to that, she could clearly feel the tension in the room gradually growing thicker.
Rosalie frowned and looked at the sullen-faced Byron. She could feel her headache worsen.
Just as she was struggling to put an end to this topic, Byron muttered, “old Man Quirke, Dr. Jacobs has
been raising her children on her own all these years. If she really wanted to find a father for them, then
she would have to consider it carefully. You don’t have to worry about this matter on her behalf.”
Hearing this, old Master Quirke frowned and ruefully said, “That’s true. This is one thing that Dr. Jacobs
can’t compare with you. With Wendy by Estie’s side and both of you knowing each other inside out, the
only thing missing is a wedding. If you know anyone who’s suitable, you can introduce them to Dr.
Jacobs. ”
Byron’s expression darkened, and he gave Rosalie a quick glance before replying with a brief hum.
Rosalie was caught off guard when their gazes unexpectedly met. In addition to the conversation
between Byron and old Master Quirke, she did not know how to feel.
Old Master Quirke seemed quite satisfied and did not bring it up again. Instead, he changed the topic
back to the free clinic.
Andrius came downstairs with the letter of recommendation. As soon as he got downstairs, he could
feel the tension-filled atmosphere of the living room. His heart sank, and he hurried to his grandfather’s
side. “Grandpa, the letter of recommendation.” Old Master Quirke reached out and took the letter.
Andrius carefully glanced at the two people beside him, only to see that their expressions seemed to
look much worse than when he had left.
Rosalie seemed like she was still fine. She was chatting with his grandfather about the free clinic with a
somewhat smile still on her face.
Byron, on the other hand, was wearing a poker face, but the aura he exuded felt terrifyingly menacing.
Meanwhile, his grandfather was chatting with Rosalie about the free clinic, blissfully ignorant of it all.
Andrius nervously sat down beside old Master Quirke, utterly confused. What on earth had happened
in the short time that he was gone?
Rosalie could feel Byron’s eyes on her from time to time, and she tried her best to suppress the
discomfort in her heart. Taking advantage of the conversation topic coming to an end, she started to bid
farewell to Old Master Quirke. “Old Master Quirke, if there’s nothing else, I won’t bother you any longer.
I came here today because I wanted to give you a check-up, but it seems like today isn’t quite
convenient for that. I’ll come back another time.”
Old Master Quirke did not think too much about it. He gave her the letter of recommendation, and after
exchanging a few more words, he let her leave.
