Triplets’ Mighty Mom

Chapter 418

Searching For a Boyfriend for You Penny usually lived in her own house. However, Lara called her today and told her to come home for dinner. Hence, she was quite surprised. After all, her mother didn’t seem like the type to call her back for dinner without reason. Rather, she was a workaholic,the kind of strong, independent woman who poured her entire soul into her career-who normally showed very little concern for Penny. Naturally, Penny did not rely much on her mother either. Thus, the relationship between mother and daughter was rather estranged. I depend on Silas more than I depend on my mom. No! We are more like strangers to each other! As soon as Penny arrived home, she had the feeling that Lara probably had something to talk to her about. Her mother had only ever had three serious discussions with her throughout her life. The first time was during her high school entrance examinations. She had failed to obtain her mother’s ideal score. For that reason, her mother had told her to repeat the examinations. Thus, she obeyed. The second time was during her university entrance examinations. She wanted to enter art school, but her mother had forced her to change her aspirations and apply to study medicine. Thus, she obeyed again. The third time was when she had gotten herself a boyfriend in university. Her mother claimed that her boyfriend did not come from a good family and instructed her to break up with him. Thus, she obeyed again. What does she want me to do today? This is why I don’t like returning home. Every time I come home, my mom has a new order for me. That’s right; they are orders! Other people had warm memories of spending time with their mothers, but she was the only one with a cold and unfeeling mother who did not allow her to disobey her orders!

She greeted her parents, “Dad! Mom!”

In response, Lara said, “Come and take a seat! Let’s eat!”

Penny grunted in reply. Then, she picked up her chopsticks and looked at the dishes set out on the table. There were eight dishes, but more than half of them were dishes that she disliked

Edward noticed that she was hesitating to eat. Thus, he placed a pork rib in her bowl while asking, “Penny, how’s work recently? Is it tiring?”

She replied, “It’s okay.” He asked again, “Did you visit your grandfather at the Nolan Residence recently?” Lowering her head to eat, she murmured, “I haven’t gone there in a few days.” He said, “If you’re free, do visit him more often. Your grandfather is getting on with his years. He wishes to have people around to keep him company.” She said, “I know.”

“Quickly finish your food. I have something to say after dinner, Lara piped up. Upon hearing that, Penny sighed weakly in her heart. “Okay.” After dinner, Lara instructed, “Go sit on the sofa and wait for me.” Hence, Penny did not leave. Instead, she sat down on the sofa. Not long after, Lara came over with an envelope in her hand. “Have you gotten yourself a new boyfriend recently?” Those words made Penny instinctively put up her guard. She was afraid that her mother had found out about something. So, she hurriedly denied, “No.” Then, Lara said, “You’re not young anymore. It’s time for you to get a boyfriend now.” Hearing those words, Penny felt relief washing over her. It looks like she doesn’t know that I like George Parsons. Thus, she obediently replied, “I know, but I haven’t met any suitable candidates!” “I have a few for you to choose from. Tell me who you fancy and I’ll help you arrange a meeting.” As Lara spoke, she took out a stack of photos from the envelope and placed

them on the table.

Penny glanced dumbfoundedly at Lara, then glanced at the photos on the table. There were at least seven or eight of them, if not ten. Moreover, there were various types of men. She knew some of them too. Still, what kind of people were they? They were similar to Ben Roberts in personality-they changed girlfriends as often as they changed clothes. What was most incomprehensible to her was that some of them were not young anymore. However, they all had one common characteristic-they came from wealthy families. Although they couldn’t compare with the Nolan family, they were not to be looked down upon. Shocked, she looked at Lara again. “Mom, what is the meaning of this?”

Lara frowned in response. “What do you mean by that? I’m searching for a boyfriend for you!”

Penny smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes. “Mom, are you looking for a boyfriend for me? Or, are you looking for in-laws for yourself?”

Lara asked, “Is there a difference?”

Penny’s eyes became cold as she studied Lara. “Of course, there is. Have you investigated these men?”
