Chapter 1551:
Miss Astley? Rachel?
Carl's brow creased with mild confusion. What business brought Rachel to the Ford family hat this hour?
Just as he prepared to decline her visit, Leland, the butler, swiftly intervened. “Let her in.”
Turning to Carl, Leland offered an explanation in hushed, urgent tones. “Sir, Miss Astley might be here to see
Corrine. Young women often share confidences and interests—perhaps we should allow them this opportunity to
chat.”
With gentle insistence, he guided Carl by the arm back toward the study.
Carl's expression remained clouded with doubt, yet he understood it would take more than one conversation to
convince Corrine to end her relationship with Nate. Reluctantly, he yielded to Leland’s suggestion and turned
away.
As Rachel approached the elevator, she caught sight of Carl and acknowledged him with refined courtesy. “Mr.
Ford.”
She handed her carefully selected gift to Leland. “This is a special blend of coffee beans | brought for you, Mr.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFord. | hope you find them to your liking.”
Carl regarded Rachel with quiet approval as his prospective granddaughter-in-law. Her beauty was undeniable,
but it was her impeccable manners and sensible demeanor that truly earned his respect.
“That's very thoughtful of you.” Affection softened Carl's face into a loving smile before faltering at the sight of
Rachel's telltale reddened eyes. “Corrine chtoday. You two should have a good chat.”
“Alright.” Rachel stepped into the elevator and disappeared from view.
Turning thoughtfully after her departure, Carl remarked, “I suppose this girl has suffered sgrievance too.”

“Young couples often have tiffs, but they patch things up quickly,” Leland assured him, passing the coffee beans
to a waiting servant. “Rachel is a perfect match for Jules, both in character and appearance.”
“Absolutely!” Passion infused Carl's declaration. “The Astley family stands among society’s finest. For their
daughter to favor that boy, he should count himself blessed beyond measure.”
Amusement flickered across Leland’s face as he noted Carl's unbridled admiration for Rachel. “Indeed, Rachel
possesses rare qualities. Her marrying Jules brings honor to the Ford family. It’s just...”
It seemed there was still room for improvement in their relationship.
“Just what?” Carl inquired, well aware that marriages without love’s foundation needed tto mature. His cane
tapped softly against the floor as he walked with measured steps. “Rachel marrying Jules is pure fortune for him!
Who else does Jules think is better for him?”
