Hailey smiled. "Lester is great. He's warm, well-read, and cultivated—a man of excellent character."
Miranda grinned. "Then how about you try dating him?"
Hailey nearly choked on her drink. "Mom, what are you saying? I don't see Lester that way!"
"Hailey, you're not that young anymore. You couldn't let go of Jonah before, but now that he's moved on, it's time for you to start a new life too.
"A young woman's youth only lasts so long. Just now, Mrs. Larden hinted at the idea of a match between our families. She likes you, and your dad and I both think Lester's a fine young man."
In their social circle, Lester was a rare gem—a scholarly, well-mannered man with a spotless reputation. Both Miranda and James adored him.
Hailey said, "Mom, I'm just… not thinking about that right now."
"Well, you need to think fast. Don't waste your youth on someone who's not yours. Your father and I just want you to find someone who loves you, someone to give you a real home," Miranda said gently, her tone filled with motherly concern.
Not wanting her parents to worry, Hailey offered a soft reply, "Okay, I got it. Just give me some time, alright?"
Miranda passed her a bowl of soup. "Now eat up. You've lost weight these past few days."
After the meal, Hailey went to the restroom. She stood at the sink, splashing cold water on her face.
She wasn't in the best of moods and just wanted to head home and rest.
As she walked down the corridor, her phone buzzed. It was a message from Aileen.
The message instantly lifted her mood.
"Hailey, I'm coming home in a few days!"
Hailey beamed.
"Really? I'll have your favorite dishes ready. Come back soon."
She wanted to tell Aileen about Jonah, but texting didn't seem like a suitable platform.
