LOVE YOU UNCLE

"What's this, Mom?" Randy asked as he looked at the photos in his hand one by one.

That day, in an office building, Randy Walters appeared puzzled. Having just finished his work, he was suddenly presented with several photos of women to look at and consider.

"These are photos, Randy. Why are you asking like it's something unusual?"

Randy immediately looked up. He took a deep breath, trying to remain patient, hoping not to be provoked by what his mother had just said.

"Randy knows that these are photos. What I mean is, why did you give me so many photos, Mom?"

"Well, it's for you to choose. There are four photos of women that I've selected as potential daughters-in-law. Please choose the one that suits your taste."

"Mom..." Randy interrupted, placing all the photos on the table, a difficult-to-interpret expression on his face. "We've discussed this so many times. Please don't rush me into getting married."

Verona Wood immediately gave him a sharp look. If she had usually been soft-spoken, this time, the fifty-year-old woman tried to show her teeth to her son.

Moreover, Verona had compromised enough. She was extremely tired of seeing her only son remaining alone like this.

"Mom doesn't care, Randy Walters. Anyway, you must obey your mother's request now. You have only two choices: let me choose for you, or choose one of the four women from the photos I'm presenting to you. Besides, what's so difficult about making a choice?"

Randy sighed deeply. The narrow-eyed man chose to close his eyes for a moment. He was genuinely tired of arguing with his mother like this.

"How can I choose? I don't even know any of them."

"It's easy if you want to get to know them first," Verona quickly replied. "I can arrange everything according to your preferences. Besides, it all depends on your intentions. Remember, Randy, you're 35 years old now. How long do you plan to stay single? Aren't you tired of hearing the office rumors about their boss being homosexual? Or maybe you really are homosexual, which is why you've been refusing to get married for so long?"

"Oh, my God, Mom."

Randy exclaimed. He didn't accept the accusation his mother had just made. Moreover, what was wrong with being 35 years old and unmarried? In South Korea, handsome, wealthy men were still single at the age of over 40. It was only in Indonesia that late marriage was seen as a disgrace by netizens who didn't contribute. Moreover, there was no playboy who was homosexual, Mom," Randy argued extensively. It seemed like he intentionally presented all his arguments, reflecting what he had felt all along.

However, instead of the homosexual rumors, all his employees were more aware of the fact that he was the kind of boss who frequently changed his partners or dating companions. Who knows how many women he had brought to the office or to various parties.

"That's why!" Verona immediately frowned. She glared at her son. "Prove to everyone that you're a genuine man. Instead of being a playboy who dates or has fun without commitment, bring one of them to meet me for selection."

"Selection? It's like a job interview."

"Well, it has to be! Choosing a partner should be clear about their qualities. Besides, you come from a reputable family. You can't just find a partner casually."

"It's so complicated, Mom. This is what makes me reluctant to bring a partner to meet you. In the end, they'll back out before the battle even starts."

Hearing this sarcasm, Verona was not pleased. Apparently, her son was once again managing his emotions, which he had been holding back all along.

"In that case, I'll find one for you. You just have to choose and accept it. You can make sure their background, qualities, and characteristics meet your criteria."

Randy took a deep breath. He exhaled slowly, then spoke in a softer tone.

As a naturally obedient child, he didn't dare to contradict his parents' orders, especially his mother's. From his education, hobbies, and everything else, they had all been arranged in a certain way.

Even though he often protested, in the end, Randy always complied. It was because of this obedient behavior that sometimes his mother took advantage of his weakness.

"So, does Mama want Randy to marry the one Mama chooses?"

"If you ask what I want, of course, I want you to get married as soon as possible. That's why Mama is offering to help you choose."

Randy nodded. He was aware that this time he couldn't argue or refuse what his mother had ordered.

Usually, Randy presented many reasons to postpone the order to get married. But this time, he had run out of words. He could no longer resist.

"So, I have to choose one of the four women in these photos?"

Verona nodded repeatedly. Then she pointed to the brown folder next to her son.

"In the brown folder, there is a supporting document that explains the background of all the candidates. You can read and study it first. But Mama's advice is, if you can, meet them in person. After that, make your choice based on the one that you find most suitable."

"Give Randy one month to study all of this, Mom," he requested with a pleading tone.

However, instead of agreeing, Verona shook her head repeatedly.

"Nope. That's too long. Mom will give you three days."

"Three days won't be enough, Mom!"
