Parents can't push too hard either, you have to let her try for herself."
Lynn Shea said she wouldn't push, but inwardly she was already impatient.
She knew exactly what the Prescott Family was facing.
No direct descendants; the family's future depends entirely on arranged marriages.
And Vivian's identity was awkward, just the adopted daughter.
If she doesn't marry early, sooner or later it'll become a problem.
Mrs. Adler listened and couldn't help but shake her head.
"Twenty-three is still young? Sharon, you're being way too soft. The sooner girls settle down the better; if you drag it out, they start being picky, and in the end, can't aim high or low."
She paused, then said earnestly, "Besides, your family's situation is special. Sorting out a good match for her sooner is for her own good. Can't let her carry the label of 'adopted daughter' forever, right?"
Lynn Shea listened, still wearing her smile, and nodded gently.
