Chapter 1690: 411: This is a deliberate release to catch better!_2 Chapter 1690: 411: This is a deliberate release to catch better!_2 Christina Armstrong seemed to want to say something, but when she opened her mouth, she ended up saying nothing at all.
Some things are the same whether you speak of them or not.
Halfway through the meal, the matchmaker arrived.
With a smile, the matchmaker greeted, “Big sister Beatrice.”
Sabrina Sabir put down her chopsticks and looked at the matchmaker with a smile, “Sherry is here.”
The matchmaker nodded, her gaze falling on Christina across from her, “Big sister Beatrice, is this your daughter?”
“Yes,” Sabrina Sabir said with a smile: “This is my daughter, Christina Armstrong.”
Christina didn't quite like the way the matchmaker was looking at her.
There was scrutiny and calculation.
As if she were appraising merchandise.
All in all, it made one uncomfortable.
There was a look of surprise in the matchmaker's eyes.
Beatrice Black's daughter was prettier than she appeared in the photos.
But…
Her skin left something to be desired.
Probably because she seldom cared for it, but luckily she had good facial features to her advantage.
The matchmaker spared no praise, “Your daughter is prettier than she is in the photos.”
“Right?” Sabrina Sabir said with a look of pride, “I've always said my biggest virtue is honesty.”
The matchmaker glanced at Christina, then at Sabrina Sabir, swallowing the words that had come to her lips.
Sabrina Sabir caught the hesitation in the matchmaker's eyes and turned to Christina, “Christina, have you finished eating?”
Christina put down her chopsticks at this time, nodded and said, “Mhm.”
“If you're done then, you can go back. Sherry and I have some things to discuss,” Sabrina Sabir continued.
“Okay.” Christina didn't think much of it and turned to walk to the other side.
After Christina left, the matchmaker spoke again, “Big sister Beatrice, your daughter indeed has good external conditions. When do you think we should arrange for them to meet?”
Sabrina Sabir narrowed her eyes and then said, “Are you sure the groom's side can come up with 1 million dollars in dowry?”
“Of course!” the matchmaker nodded and said with a smile: “Otherwise, why would I bother talking to you about this?”
“Really?” Sabrina Sabir was still somewhat uncertain.
“It's absolutely true!”
Sabrina Sabir continued, “Sherry, I want to ask you something.”
“Go ahead and ask,” said the matchmaker.
Sabrina Sabir asked, “Does the man have any shortcomings?”
The matchmaker was silent after the question.
A moment later, the matchmaker continued, “The condition of the man's side is indeed a bit special…”
“How special?” Sabrina Sabir asked.
The matchmaker weighed her words carefully before continuing, “The man might be a bit older.”
Sabrina Sabir thought it was some special circumstance!
Hearing it was just a matter of being a bit older, she instantly stopped worrying, and with a laugh, said, “Being a little older isn't an issue, as long as he knows how to cherish someone.”
“It might not be just 'a little,'” the matchmaker continued.
“How much older?” Sabrina Sabir asked.
The matchmaker swallowed and then said, “Old, older… the man is exactly seventy-five this year.”
“Seventy-five?” Sabrina Sabir's eyes widened.
The matchmaker nodded.
Sabrina Sabir furrowed her brows and said, “Isn't that just an old cow eating tender grass?”
Pausing there, Sabrina Sabir continued, “Our Christina is so beautiful, can't you find someone more normal?”
There were so many prestigious households in Capital City, and the matchmaker specialized in these matters. This should have been an easy feat for her.
The matchmaker didn't answer Sabrina Sabir's question directly but instead asked, “So what kind of person would you like to find for your daughter?”
Before Sabrina Sabir could speak, the matchmaker continued, “Do you want to find a local Capital City tall, rich, and handsome guy, who is well-educated and virtuous, and most importantly, someone who can help your family out from time to time?”
Hearing this, Sabrina Sabir nodded repeatedly, all smiles, “Yes, yes, yes! Exactly!”
The matchmaker had hit the nail on the head with every word, speaking straight to Sabrina Sabir's heart.
The matchmaker continued with a smile, “But have you ever considered that these tall, rich, and handsome men have their own standards for a partner! Your daughter lacks education, family background, and a job, do you think a tall, rich, and handsome man would fancy your daughter?”
“But my daughter is beautiful!” Sabrina Sabir said with a face full of pride.
The matchmaker continued, “You should know that Capital City has no shortage of white, rich and beautiful girls who are also well-educated. Not everyone gets the chance to transition from a sparrow to a phoenix!”
Sabrina Sabir frowned slightly.
The matchmaker smiled and said, “However, being beautiful is indeed an advantage. It is because your daughter is beautiful that she has caught the eye of a member. Although he is a bit old, he can meet your condition for the 1 million-dollar dowry.”
