During breakfast, Sophie Huang spent her time observing her son and was disappointed to see that there was not much change in Neil's relationship with the kindergarten teacher.

Sophie heard that her granddaughter liked Edith very much and knew that her son had a good impression of the kindergarten teacher. At least, he did not seem to show his dislike towards her. After observing Edith for a while longer, Sophie could see how she had treated her granddaughter sincerely and soon Sophie grew to like Edith more.

After some inquiry, Sophie learned that Edith was still single and swiftly, she began to make her plan to match her son with Edith.

If this girl was together with his son, then, she did not have to worry about Hazel. There will be someone to look after her son as well as her granddaughter.

Moreover, Neil has stayed single for too long and it was time for him to settle down. Hazel was going to enter school soon and she will need a little brother or sister to accompany her. 

Anyway, the point is, it has been a long time since Sophie had held a baby and she was expecting her elder son to get married and have a child or two soon.

Even though she had promised their sons that they could make their decisions regarding their marriage, Neil always gave excuses that he was too busy with the company matter to be in a relationship.

As his mother, Sophie was determined to help her son.

Last night, when she received a phone call from her son, informing her that he won't be able to return for dinner as he had some entertainment to do, Sophie decided to use this chance to create an opportunity for the two single grownups to get to know each other well.

Sophie knew that her son was able to control himself well even when he was drunk and would not do something that would put their family to shame. Therefore, she was counting on Edith to make her move.

Her son was an astounding man and a good catch. 

The two of them have been living under the same roof for a while. As a single lady, it couldn't be that Edith did not develop any feelings towards her son, right?

After convincing Hazel to play along, Sophie decided to bring her granddaughter to the next door unit for a night. Then, she had asked Edith to look after her son who was going to return home from a business dinner.

To make the kindergarten teacher agree with her request, Sophie had come out with a few excuses and one of them included that her son might pass out in the living room. Sophie had told the kindergarten teacher that her son had rarely attended a business dinner and she was worried that he might drink too much and was unable to look after himself. 

Fortunately, the innocent teacher had bought her words and agreed to look after her son when he came back.

However, Sophie was disappointed to know that Edith did not take advantage of her son. 

She had asked her to look after her drunk son, and that was all she did.

Her son might be a little aloof, but he had good looks and personality. Why won't this girl took advantage to win him? 

Or perhaps, there were some problems with her son?

As the thought came to her mind, Sophie quickly dismissed her thought. This was her son and she wanted to believe that there was nothing wrong with him. Anyway, she still wanted to hug her son's big fat child.

Thinking that the kindergarten teacher was probably too shy, Sophie raked her mind and decided to create another chance for them. 

Therefore, as Edith was about to enter the kitchen to prepare dinner, as usual, Sophie went over to her and asked for her help.

As Sophie had finished, Edith stared back at her and blinked her eyes in confusion.

"Mrs. Mo, you wanted me to send dinner to President Mo?" Edith asked. Her head tilted to a side and a slight crease appeared at the space between her brows.

"Hmm," Sophie nodded. Her expression showed concern as she continued to lure Edith into her plan. "Neil called just now and he said he will have to work overtime. There was an important project coming up and he might have to stay in his office until midnight. But that's the thing." Sophie heaved a long sigh. "I know my son well. When he was busy with projects, he tends to forget to eat. Some time ago, he was hospitalized due to a bad gastric problem. I'm afraid that something like that is going to happen again."

Meanwhile, Lucas who was helping his granddaughter with her homework in the living room heard his wife's words and let out a snort.

Why does it feel like his wife was sending an innocent lamb to a wolf's mouth?

The two elderly couples exchanged their gazes. Noticing the warning look in his wife's eyes, Lucas chose to lower his head and pretended that he did not hear anything.

"Can you help me?" Sophie asked.

Edith hesitated. She glanced at Hazel, and then towards the kitchen.

She was looking forward to meeting Neil but was anxious at the same time.

Though she would love to visit the person she fancied and see his appearance as he was working diligently, Edith still had her concern. 

What if he annoyed him with her presence?

What if she ended up staring at him in admiration and he found out about her feelings?

Edith wanted to continue to hid her feeling a while longer until she was sure that Neil had perhaps liked her a little bit. She did not want to get disappointed by hinting that she liked him when he did not feel the same way.

"You don't have to worry about the food. I have already prepared dinner and we will look after Hazel as you go out " Sophie continued. 

Seeing the worried look on Mrs. Mo's face coupled with her worry towards Neil, Edith began to waver. "Alright." She agreed. "I will go to the headquarter to deliver the food."

A look of relief washed over her face. "Thank you." The smile on her face stretched out until her eyes turned crescent. "I have already prepared everything. All you need to do was to deliver the food and wait until Neil finished his food."

"Ah? I have to wait until he finishes his food?"

Sophie nodded again. 

Her plan was, to let the two spend some time alone in his office and let them cultivate feelings. If her son had some conscience, he would worry that Edith was going to head home alone at night. Then, he will decide to come home soon to accompany Edith.

"I worry that he was going to leave the food on the table and continue to work instead of eating. Therefore, your task is to monitor him until he finished everything."

"This… it doesn't feel right," Edith hesitated. 

"Don't worry. He won't drive you away," Sophie said. "Just tell him that I send you over to monitor him with his diet. He won't dare to do anything to you. If he dared to drive you away, then you call me."

Edith found herself unable to say anything and could only agree with Sophie's instruction and arrangements.

Seeing that the girl had agreed, Sophie smiled happily. She quickly put the layered insulated food lunch box into a bag before the girl was going to change her mind. "Once you arrive at the lobby, just give a call to Assistant Shawn.. He will bring you upstairs."
