Chapter 1175: 311: Abusing Scum! Average, The Third in The World (Second Update)_3 Chapter 1175: 311: Abusing Scum! Average, The Third in The World (Second Update)_3 Delia did not trust Noah implicitly, she was rather apathetic.
For her now, to have a man was just icing on the cake.
Without a man, she could still live stylishly.
Once a woman reaches this mindset, she won't be bothered by all those petty troubles.
As for men.
They are aplenty.
Mrs. Alf did not understand this way of thinking. She wanted to say something, but just then, the elevator arrived.
Ding!
Dolores and Delia entered the elevator, “We'll see you later Mrs. Alf.”
“See you.”
Mrs. Alf turned and left too.
Once outside, it was as though she had suddenly remembered something. She came back to the elevator and pressed the button.
“This woman's memory is really getting worse and worse!”
She slapped her own forehead in astonishment.
Soon enough, the elevator door opened.
Mrs. Alf stepped inside and pressed the button for the 10th floor.
Ding!
Mrs. Alf had arrived at the 10th floor.
Mrs. Alf exited the elevator, walked towards Dolores's place, then began knocking at the door.
“Coming.”
The person who opened the door was Dolores.
“Mrs. Alf is here, please come in.”
As she walked inside, Mrs. Alf remarked, “Your home is quite tidy!”
Dolores laughed and said, “Not at all, I barely get the time to clean due to work. Please, have a seat Mrs. Alf, I'll make you some tea.”
“Don't bother right now,” Mrs. Alf reached out and grasped Dolores's hand, “I came over to talk to you about something. I'll leave once I've said my piece.”
“What is it?” Dolores asked.
Smiling, Mrs. Alf replied, “I won't beat around the bush. I've a younger brother. A few years ago, his wife tragically passed away from cancer and since, he has been alone. I was thinking, if you two happen to have some affinities, I could play matchmaker.”
Without waiting for Dolores to speak, Mrs. Alf continued, “Let me tell you about my brother, his name is Lionel. He's 41 this year and has a 17-year-old daughter. He's an honest guy, not bad-looking at all, about 1.78 meters tall, and works as a truck driver earning pretty decent money every month. He owns his own car and house back in our hometown. Actually, I think you're an honest person too. I believe you guys could get along well, otherwise, I wouldn't have suggested this.”
Dolores was 32 this year.
Although she had two main factors hindering her, she was pretty and knew how to take care of the household.
Mrs. Alf had been observing Dolores for quite a while now.
There's a saying that trouble often finds a widow.
But this saying did not apply to Dolores at all.
She never brought strangers home and led a disciplined life. She managed her money well, never wasting it on frivolous things.
Dolores was choosing her words carefully because this wasn't the first time something like this had happened.
However, every time, Dolores felt somewhat at a loss as to how to decline, respecting the good intentions behind the proposal.
After a moment, Dolores finally responded, “Mrs. Alf, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm not considering such matters at the moment.”
Mrs. Alf frowned, “You don't want to remarry?”
“Yes, currently I just want to focus on raising my kids. Everything else is secondary.”
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Alf felt as if she had been doused in cold water.
She had thought she had found a great match for her brother!
Who would have thought, Dolores wasn't considering marriage at all.
Mrs. Alf let out a laugh, “Alright then, Dolores, just pretend I was talking nonsense! Well then, I won't disturb you anymore. I better get going!”
Dolores got up to see her off, “Won't you sit for a while longer, Mrs. Alf?”
“No, no, I've got other things to do!”
Mrs. Alf turned around and left.
Dolores escorted her to the door, and once it was shut, she let out a deep sigh of relief.
She hated dealing with such situations the most.
Delia came out from the room, laughing, “Was Mrs. Alf trying to set you up with someone?”
“Yes.” Dolores nodded her head.
Delia asked curiously, “What's he like?”
“I didn't really listen.”
Delia chuckled, “Sis, this is about your lifelong happiness. But let me remind you, you are not in the same situation as before. You've got a house and savings. Keep your eyes wide open while searching for a partner. Don't expect Mr. Perfect, but at the very least find someone who is at your level, who owns a house and has savings.”
If the man had the same status as Dolores then he wouldn't be after her for anything.
If he was penniless and homeless, then he might covet Dolores's house and money.
Having said this, Delia added, “Sis, in second marriages, everyone usually has their own children. You can only guarantee your purity of intention but can't guarantee that he will treat your children as his own. Therefore, you can compromise many things but not the man's ability!”
