Chapter 2 Being Matchmade.

After "handing over" her son, Clara also left, regardless of how bewildered her son might look.

As soon as she left, Stephen's youngest uncle also arrived to pick up the boy. Normally, Kimberly found this man unremarkable. But why does she feel something off when he is near Weston?

"Teacher Moore, I apologize for being late, I had an unexpected matter today."

"The parents of Stephen don't have to feel guilty, this is our responsibility as teachers. I also hope Stephen will recover soon."

This man is Stephen's biological uncle, a successful businessman, unmarried and childless, considered a Golden Man that everyone desires - Raymond McDaniel!

Suddenly, at that moment, Weston ran up to him, tugging on his shirt, making Raymond McDaniel look down. A very active little boy, with agile eyes and a very cute face... But what's important is, why does he look so familiar?

"Uncle, do you have a wife yet?"

Kimberly supported her forehead with her hand, here it comes again. Normally, this kid likes to badmouth Clara, but he loves his mother a lot, and whenever he finds a suitable match, he immediately wants to set his mother up.

Raymond just looked at Weston and laughed, saying:

"Not yet."

"So, would you like to date my mommy? Although she is a bit fierce, a bit hot-tempered, a bit childish... But my mom is very beautiful, as beautiful as an angel. Think about it."

Kimberly knew Raymond was not the type to like beautiful women; he was also famously known as a cold, celibate god. If she lets Weston keep on babbling, they might just get eliminated right there.

Immediately, Kimberly pulled Weston back, even lifting the kid up, saying:

"Weston, if you keep trying to set up your mother, you're going to get beaten."

Raymond looked at Kimberly, then back at Weston, saying:

"Is he the son of Teacher Moore?"

"No, no, Weston is the child of a friend. She's a single mother, but this little guy is very active, afraid to bother her while she works so she left him with me for a few days."

Raymond just nodded, then he didn't forget to leave a contact number before leaving, and didn't forget to pat Weston on the head, saying:

"Then you must give your mom my contact number, remember?"

"Yes, goodbye handsome uncle, goodbye friend Stephen."

After that, Raymond also put Stephen in the car, but surprisingly this time Stephen waved at Weston, even murmuring softly:

"Goodbye... Weston..."

Kimberly and Weston heard it, Raymond heard it too, he was a bit surprised but then still got into the car.

It seems this little one trusts Weston a lot, Raymond also plans to learn more about the boy.

Although she had just arrived in Harborview not long ago, the news about the new General Director of the Parks corporation branch in Harborview was already known internally.

Everyone knew about Clara, at the headquarters in Ashwood everyone knew she was a rose full of thorns, despite being a single mother no one dared to look down on her. Quick-witted and with sharp reasoning, pointing out the core of the issue, everything a leader needs... Clara has it all.

Therefore, her assumption of the position at Harborview met with no opposition; in fact, the staff here even revered her, affectionately calling her "Clara."

"Clara, this time the collaboration with McDaniel Corporation isn't a major project, but we still need to compete fiercely to make a new breakthrough."

"Mandy, bring me all the documents of this project. Also, bring the company reports of the past few years."

"Clara, would you like some coffee?"

"Just a pot of tea for me."

After saying this, Clara immediately went to her office. For Mandy Phillips, it was the first time he saw a CEO who preferred tea over coffee... But, after all, it was a matter of personal preference, and he shouldn't inquire too much into this private matter.

Sitting in her office, Clara researched the McDaniel Corporation. She heard that the current owner of the McDaniel Corporation is a young man who wouldn't show up unless it was for an important project.

Given the significance of this project... It seems he won't be attending the meeting, which means she won't have to exert too much effort this time.

"Clara, the McDaniel Corporation has scheduled a meeting with us tomorrow to discuss the project. What do you think?"

"Tell them tomorrow afternoon, at Crimson Cove, I'll host them for a meal."

"Understood."

Crimson Cove is a renowned restaurant in Harborview. Some say that if you haven't tried Crimson Cove, you haven't truly experienced Harborview!

Apart from the cuisine at Crimson Cove, Harborview is famous for many other things, such as the busiest bar ever, Aphrodite Bar.

Suddenly thinking of Aphrodite made Clara shiver; wasn't this the place filled with embarrassing memories that needed to be buried immediately? Why bring it up and make her shiver?

[...]

That evening, Clara stayed at the company. Fortunately, before transferring, she had Victor refurbish her office and add a bedroom, allowing her to comfortably stay and work all day.

Just as she finished her last task, her phone lit up. It was a message from her beloved son.

[Weston]: Mommy, I met a handsome guy, and Aunt Kimberly says he's really nice too. If you like fresh meat, contact him right away.

The message was accompanied by a photo with a contact number.

Clara's face darkened, and she immediately replied.

[Clara]: Weston, who taught you the phrase "fresh meat"? Moreover, I don't need a boyfriend, thanks!

[Weston]: It doesn't matter who taught me. What matters is I want a dad! Mommy, I want a dad!

If it were any other child, Clara would have been heartbroken to hear such words, the longing behind them.

However, with little Weston, she found him quite deserving of a scolding.

Recalling a few months back, when he had become sensible enough to stubbornly demand a father. To indulge her son, Clara even tried dating a few people, including the man Weston introduced. But who would have thought... Afterward, he stood in front of her, pretending to stroke his chin, and said:

"Sorry, but this was a technical mistake. Mommy, don't date him anymore. I don't like him being 'pressured'."
