Chapter 411
Sienna insisted on meeting Yasbel, which took Noella by surprise.
"Why on earth would we need to see Yasbel?"
Sienna explained, "Mom wants to find out if Yasbel has any interest in you, Stirling. Let's face it, with Stirling's sense of romance, he wouldn't know love if it hit him in the face! Might as well have the girl knock him out and drag him home!"
Noella: "...What?"
While Sienna's straightforward approach left Noella both amused and exasperated, she couldn't help but retort, "Mom, love isn't something you can force."
"I know, honey. That's why I want to see what the girl thinks first."
Though they say you can't force love, how will you know if you don't give it a try?
Considering Stirling Schnabel, who seems more interested in comic books than conversations, Sienna doubted his ability to woo a partner on his own!
Unable to argue with Sienna, Noella dialed Yasbel's number.
"Boss, what's up? I'm on holiday here, don't drag me into work!"
"...It's my mom who wants to talk to you."
Hearing it was Sienna wanting a chat, Yasbel instantly dropped her casual tone for a more formal one.
"Hello, this is Yasbel, the actress. How may I assist you?"
Sienna couldn't contain her excitement: "Yasbel, dear, have you started seeing someone?"
"...Uh? No, I'm all about my career right now. Dreaming of clinching an Oscar and becoming the world's leading actress!"
Noella cut in: "Yasbel, plain English, please."
"Nope, just focusing on making money."
Sienna, ever so cheerful, asked, "So, what do you think of our Stirling?"
"Stirling? He's a guy, alive, smart enough to come in out of the rain, looks decent... that's about it."
"And if you were to date him, would you be interested?"
Yasbel pondered seriously, "If we dated, would you try to break us up by throwing a $500,000 check at my face? Should that be taxed, boss?" Yasbel, known for her integrity in the entertainment industry, always insisted on abiding by the law, including taxes.
Noella sighed, "Can't you drop the money obsession?"
"Why should I? A gentleman loves wealth and seeks it rightly. I, on the other hand, am no gentleman."
Despite her words, Yasbel seriously turned down Sienna's suggestion.
"I might be a beauty that could launch a thousand ships, but honestly, I'm not interested in romance right now. Plus, being an orphan, I don't think I'd fit well with the Schnabel family!"
Sienna quickly clarified, "I didn't mean anything by it. If you like Stirling, that's great! If not, no hard feelings, okay?"
"I didn't take it the wrong way, but I'm really not a match for Stirling. I prefer to remain single and child-free."
After hanging up, Noella calmly stated, "Mom, Yasbel is my friend. I know her well. It's hard for her to take interest in anyone."
Members of Polaris Star, they often lack the courage to start anew, showing distrust towards relationships and commitment.
Getting them to trust someone enough to consider marriage is an uphill battle.
Noella understood Yasbel's stance.
Polaris Star members only trust each other!
Sienna didn't push further.
"Malvina, why don't you move in with me? Let me take care of you!"
"Wouldn't that be an imposition?"
"Of course not! And don't worry about your gang's business; I won't interfere. That's your legacy. If you need help, just get Ulrich to run errands. That's what husbands are fort
Malvina nodded, feeling a warm and soft spot in her heart.
...
At the Schnabel Manor in Serene Haven, Phoenix Tower, Tristan rushed to share the good news with Marcel.
"Pop, you're getting an upgrade!"
Marcel, playing chess against himself, looked up, "Upgrade? I'm not a gadget, son. What are you on about?"
"Ah, you're getting promoted! There's a baby on the way!"
"Really? Is it the Gruber girl?"
"Exactly! Sienna and I are thinking of arranging Noella and Palmer's wedding right after their engagement. Hope Mr. Sexton can make it." Marcel motioned Tristan to sit and join the game.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"If he can't, no biggie. Just seeing Noella and Palmer getting engaged would be enough for him."
"Lucian Richardson's sick too. Sienna and I took Elara to see him. Just old age. He's left everything to Elara."
Marcel paused, chess piece in hand.
"Let him be. Understanding life at his age is a blessing!"
Tristan rubbed his hands, "The Patel family wants to introduce their grandson to Elara. What do you think?"
"The Patel boy? Isn't he Beckett's mate? Too old, no!"
"Really? He's not that much older, is he?"
Marcel was fuming, "Elara is barely neen! That Patel dude is practically pushing fifty! Absolutely not!"
Tristan just blinked, speechless.
The eldest grandson of the Patel clan was only in his thirties, quite a bit older than Elara, but fifty? Was Marcel's rounding a bit too enthusiastic? Tristan knew the old man was exceptionally picky when it came to choosing a partner for his granddaughter.
"I haven't agreed to anything! It's

When it came to Noella and Palmer's engagement, the Schnabel family was more than pleased!
Even the fourth Schnabel son, who felt like Palmer had stolen his sister, was actually reassured seeing how Palmer adored and cherished Noella. Tristan scratched his head.
"A parent's love is planning for the future! As long as the kids are happy, we're at peace!"
Marcel chuckled, shaking his head.
"You, having lived a good long while, are finally understanding how to be a good father! The matter with the second child is a good thing. Go ahead and prepare, just make sure Malvina doesn't feel slighted!"
"Got it!"

At Imperial West Hospital.
Inside a quiet emergency exit stairwell, Noella stood on the steps, discussing Malvina's health with Ulrich.
Malvina, who had just woken up wanting to talk to Ulrich, saw them together as she approached. Before she could say anything, she overheard Noella and Ulrich's conversation.
"Ulrich, Malvina's condition isn't great. You need to take special care of her!"
