Chapter 467
Seeing the situation, Isabella quickly pulled Olivia to her side.
Atticus could handle being "bullied," but she couldn't just stand by and watch her best friend get dragged into it.
They sat across from each other, stifling their laughter as they watched Kian and Thomas bombard Atticus with questions until he was speechless.
Holden and Orion were off to the side, watching the commotion with no intention of stepping in to help.
But their indifference caught Isabella's attention.
She almost forgot that there were still two uncles without any prospects.
That wouldn't do.
She had personally promised her grandfather that she would take care of her uncles' marriages.
Now that Atticus and Olivia were practically a done deal, and there was good news from Thomas and Kian, it was time to bring out her list.
Just then, Kian suddenly turned his attention to Holden and Orion, who were making snide comments from the sidelines.
"We've all spilled our secrets. Did we forget about these two over here?"
Hearing Kian's words, Holden and Orion, who had been smiling, suddenly looked dumbfounded.
How did they get dragged into this just by watching?
Isabella's eyes lit up.
She had been wondering how to broach the subject with Holden and Orion, and Kian had just handed her the perfect opportunity.
What was she waiting for?
"Kian's right. Holden, Orion, when are you going to bring your girlfriends home?"
Isabella thought of her grandfather.
If he could see his grandsons finding their own happiness, he would be so relieved and happy.
"Isabella, why are you joining in on this? Orion and I are fine being single. Right, Orion?" Holden said, nudging Orion with his elbow.
"Orion, what do you think?" Isabella asked curiously.
She thought that if she was going to set up dates for her uncles, she needed to understand their thoughts first.
"I..."
Orion started to speak but was interrupted by the sound of a car pulling up outside.
Everyone looked out the window. Today was Daniel's hundredth-day memorial, and the Wilson Family hadn't invited anyone. Who could it be?
As they all wondered, the car door opened, and a woman in a black suit stepped out.
She wore light makeup and only a pair of pearl earrings, but her exquisite face was stunning.
"Who is she?" Isabella was puzzled. The woman looked familiar, but she couldn't recall her name.
Thankfully, Olivia reminded her.
"Isabella, isn't she the actress who came to Daniel's funeral? Her name is Jessa, I think."
Isabella remembered.
Jessa had come to her grandfather's funeral, making a special trip.
But Jessa's makeup was different today, almost unrecognizable.
Hearing Olivia's words, the five Wilson brothers also realized who she was.
A guest was a guest, especially on such a special day. They couldn't be rude.
Among the brothers, Holden was the most sociable. Knowing she was here to pay her respects to Daniel, he got up to greet her.
"Ms. Greer."
Holden extended his hand politely.
Jessa looked up, shook his hand briefly, and quickly withdrew it, nodding.
"Mr. Holden Wilson. I just remembered today is Daniel's hundredth-day memorial. I came to lay some flowers. I didn't mean to intrude on your family gathering. I hope you understand."
Jessa was beautiful and spoke gently.
"No, no," Holden quickly waved his hand, afraid his voice might scare her.
He was used to dealing with rough men, so speaking politely to a woman felt awkward.
Seeing this, Isabella's intuition told her something was off with Holden.
She quickly went over to help.
"Ms. Greer, you're overthinking it. We're grateful you came to pay your respects to my grandfather. How could we mind? Come in, it's windy outside."
Isabella invited her in, seating her at the dining table.
She asked Cinda to bring a new set of utensils.
With Olivia there to keep the conversation going, the three women quickly became acquainted.
Olivia thought Isabella's enthusiasm and warmth towards Jessa were because she came to pay respects to her grandfather.
But Isabella's mind was on the handshake between Holden and Jessa.
Holden had never been so flustered in front of a woman.
Could it be that Holden liked someone like Jessa?
It seemed like fate had brought them together. Just as she was worrying about Holden and Orion's marriages, Jessa showed up. It was destiny.
So, her next step was to find out how Jessa felt about Holden.
After dinner, the Wilson brothers went off to their own tasks.
Isabella took Jessa to the living room sofa, casually chatting over coffee.
"Ms. Greer, I remember you mentioned online that you're single. What do you think of my uncles?"
They had gotten to know each other during dinner.
Isabella sensed that Jessa, despite her delicate appearance, was straightforward. So, she didn't hold back.
Especially since she noticed Jessa glancing at Holden during dinner, she was even more convinced.
Hearing Isabella's direct question, Jessa blushed.
Her eyes involuntarily followed the black figure leaving outside, quickly looking away before he turned around.
She replied softly, "He's very gentlemanly and kind."
A man who would stop for a flower must have a gentle heart.
Isabella's eyes sparkled.
Great.
Jessa liked Holden too. There was hope.
She was so excited she almost shouted.
But she held back. They had only met a couple of times. They needed time to see if they were compatible.
She couldn't scare Jessa away.
"Ms. Greer, let me tell you about Holden."
Isabella wanted to pique Jessa's interest. If she was going to set Holden up, Jessa needed to know what kind of person he was.
