After Divorce I Married a Tycoon-Chapter 152: Matchmaking

Roxanne Peyton sat on the sofa, fuming, and didn’t say another word.

All she wanted was to go see the event live.

’Why did Silas make it sound like she wanted to date them?’

Besides, which celebrity she liked was her own business.

Even if they had slept their way to the top, what did that have to do with her?

’As long as the songs are good, that’s enough. How can I worry about all that other stuff?’

Claire Mercer saw she was upset and quickly tried to smooth things over with a smile.

"Silas just thought you were like one of those obsessive fans. He didn’t mean anything else by it."

"But about taking you to the venue... I’m afraid I can’t quite manage that."

"I’m just a contestant. How would I have the pull to get you in?"

Hearing this, Roxanne Peyton looked so miserable she was on the verge of tears.

"So, the situation is that you and Stella can go, but I can’t."

Claire Mercer sighed. "Stella and I have to go since we’re contestants."

"As for you, you definitely can’t go without a ticket."

"You’re a daughter of the Peyton Family, after all. If your family can’t even get tickets, do you really think I have the ability to..."

Before she could finish, Silas Rowan said, "I happen to have two tickets right here."

At his words, Roxanne Peyton’s eyes widened and sparkled as she looked at him. "You have tickets?"

Silas Rowan nodded.

’It’s a competition organized by Adrian Sutton. Isn’t getting two tickets as simple as asking?’

Besides, he had just insinuated in front of a fan that her idol’s path to success wasn’t exactly honorable...

No matter how you looked at it, he had hit a sore spot for a fan.

He felt he’d been a bit of a busybody.

’She can stan whomever she wants. What does it matter to me if the celebrity is good or bad?’

He just had to open his big mouth and say those things, making her sulk.

’Since she wants to go, I should just let her.’

The moment Roxanne Peyton realized Silas Rowan had tickets, her previously dejected face lit up, full of life again.

"Can you sell your tickets to me? I know the tickets for this opening ceremony are hard to get."

"A lot of fans paid a fortune for them. I can pay a high price, too."

Silas Rowan was speechless.

’Does she really like August Thorne and those young guys from FS that much?’

’She’s willing to pay a fortune for tickets just to go?’

He had no idea what it was about them that she found so appealing.

’But that’s none of my business.’

’If she wants to go, I’ll just give her the chance.’

So he said, "A friend gave me these two tickets. I wasn’t planning on going."

"Since you want to go so badly, I’ll give them to you. I’m not interested in these celebrities anyway."

Roxanne Peyton replied, "I couldn’t possibly."

These tickets were being resold for two thousand yuan each, and those were just for the stands.

The floor tickets were supposedly being scalped for over ten thousand yuan each.

Even though Silas Rowan wasn’t short on cash, she would feel bad if she didn’t pay him.

"You’re a good friend of Claire’s. It’s nothing," Silas said. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Besides, I spoke out of turn earlier. Just consider this my apology."

Now that he put it that way, Roxanne Peyton felt that maybe she had overreacted a little.

’But Silas Rowan really is Rhonia’s most eligible bachelor.’

’His poise and magnanimity are on a different level from the typical nouveau riche.’

"Apologize for what?" Adrian Sutton asked, just emerging from the kitchen with a dish in his hands.

"What did you do to the young lady?"

Silas Rowan shot him a look, about to snap back at him.

But then he remembered he still needed to get the tickets from him, so he swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue.

He got up, walked to the dining room, and helped set the table with the dishes and utensils.

Then he followed Adrian Sutton back into the kitchen.

"Do you have any more tickets for your competition’s opening ceremony?"

"What for?" Adrian Sutton squinted at Silas Rowan. "I thought you were never interested in these celebrities."

Silas said, "Roxanne Peyton wants to see Austin Thorne and the FS Boy Band."

"I just said that people in the entertainment industry are a mess, and she got really upset."

As soon as he said that, Adrian Sutton was instantly intrigued.

"What, you’re asking me for tickets to make her happy?"

Silas Rowan didn’t agree with that. "How is this about making her happy?"

"I just ’slandered’ her idol in front of her. The tickets are purely an apology."

Adrian Sutton let out a long "Ohhh," a cryptic smile on his face.

"As I recall, you’re not the gossipy type."

"For you to go out of your way to slander someone, it’s clear that..."

Silas Rowan quickly cut him off.

"It wasn’t really slander, just stating the facts as they are."

"Look, are you going to give me the tickets or not?"

He really couldn’t be bothered to explain so much.

The more he explained, the more confusing it seemed to get.

It might even lead to some unnecessary misunderstandings.

’What a pain.’

Adrian Sutton raised an eyebrow. "Is that any way to ask for a favor?"

Not to be outdone, Silas Rowan retorted, "Don’t forget, you’re my brother-in-law now."

Adrian Sutton didn’t get angry. Instead, he looked at him with amusement.

"Oh... so I guess after Grandpa and Grandma went back to Caspian, they stopped bugging you about getting married?"

"By the way, I heard my aunt has her eye on a young woman and wants you to go on a blind date with her."

"It seems you don’t need me to cover for you anymore."

The moment marriage pressure came up, Silas Rowan’s head started to ache.

And when he remembered that lately it wasn’t just pressure to marry, but being forced to go on blind dates...

Silas instantly felt his will to live draining away.

For the past few days, he had been staying at a hotel owned by the CZ Group.

He had told his family he was away on a business trip.

That was the only way he’d managed to dodge his mother’s attempts to force him into a blind date.

Now his cousin was clearly implying he wouldn’t cover for him anymore?

’That won’t do.’

The thought of the terror of being dominated by his mother’s matchmaking...

A chill ran down Silas Rowan’s spine.

He immediately dropped his pride and put on a fawning smile.

"Cousin, please do me a favor and give me two tickets to the opening ceremony."

Only then did Adrian Sutton nod in satisfaction.

"Now that’s more like it."

He clapped Silas Rowan on the shoulder, acting like a big brother.

"Remember, next time you need my help, make sure you ask the right way."

Silas was speechless.

He couldn’t stop himself from wanting to roll his eyes.

But he didn’t dare!

"Also, all this pressure to get married and being forced on blind dates must be annoying, right?"

Silas finally rolled his eyes. "What do you think?"

"Actually, it’s annoying for me, too," Adrian Sutton said.

"Do you know who my aunt has been bugging me to set you up with?"

Silas had a guess, but he wasn’t sure.
