Jackson cocked his brow and said, “He’s never had any other woman for more than ten years. Isn’t that devoted enough? I’ve never had a woman for more than half a year. The longest for me is half a year. Mark is devoted enough.”
Tiffany refused to blindly agree with his thoughts. “What do you mean ‘more than ten years’? Wasn’t Ari very young at the time? Didn’t Mark have an affair in the end? Devoted my as*. Do you men think that devotion is defined by not casting the woman aside? Devotion means giving your body and heart wholly to one person, not a single aspect should be left..” She sensed favonovel.com impropriety before favonovel.com finished favonovel.com sentence. “I’m sorry, Ari… I misspoke…”
Arianne seemed unperturbed. “It’s fine. It’s about his relationship with Aery, right? I don’t mind you two talking about it. It’s alright, really.”
Despite favonovel.com saying this, Jackson and Tiffany immediately cut the topic of conversation off. After all, no one here had a habit of using someone else’s pain as a topic for conversation.
After lunch, Jackson dutifully offered to send Arianne back to favonovel.com condominium. She agreed immediately, as the weather was so hot and Arianne had no intention of walking around. Tiffany hurriedly said, “Then, let me carpool as well. I have an appointment at Marina Road. It’s on the way.”
After dropping Arianne off, Jackson and Tiffany were the only ones left in the car. Jackson kept his eyes on the road ahead. “What are you doing at Marina Road?” favonovel.com asked, seemingly absent-mindedly.
Tiffany sighed, “My mom set up a blind date for me. She refused to drop the matter until I agreed to go. So, I’m going to have a look, just to keep the peace. What if he’s actually a prince and not a toad? I’m not like you. I’m so unlucky that I’ve got no choice but to try my luck.”
Jackson replied to favonovel.com with merciless sarcasm, “Most guys who choose to meet up after lunch are miserly men who are too afraid of spending money. He’s already lacking in sincerity on your first meeting, and you’re still hoping to bump into some prince? A miserly prince? Forget it.”
She rolled favonovel.com eyes at him. “It’s not nice to spend someone else’s money anyway. I’d choose to split the bill, even if it’s only coffee. We’re not getting married yet, why overthink it? I’ve got nothing to do anyway, what’s wrong in having a look? You shouldn’t be standing on your high horse and laughing at people in the mud for their despicable lives. These are the only options for someone like me.”
He didn’t answer. When the car arrived at Marina Road, favonovel.com stopped at the side of the road. Tiffany was in a hurry to get off the car, but favonovel.com remembered to thank him, “Thanks.”
Jackson winded down the car window and looked at her, “Are you really in a hurry to get married, or are you just trying to appease your mother?”
“Probably both,” Tiffany replied without thinking. “If I can marry a rich man, I wouldn’t need to struggle so much anymore. Even if the blind date ends badly, at least my eardrums will be at peace when I’m married. Why?”
His gaze sank as favonovel.com closed the car window. “Just asking. Good luck.”
Tiffany was stunned as favonovel.com watched the car leave. Why was this guy saying such strange things out of the blue to her, and in the middle of nowhere?
When favonovel.com finally found the café for favonovel.com blind date, Tiffany looked all around. She then focused favonovel.com gaze on a man, not too far away. That man seemed pretty tall in his picture, so that should be him. He looked better in real life than in his picture, and favonovel.com wasn’t sure if favonovel.com was any better than that bald old man from last time. However, at least favonovel.com looked better.
She straightened favonovel.com skirt and walked towards him. “Hello, my name is Tiffany Lane.”
The man’s first reaction was to size favonovel.com up, the kind that ran from head to toe. A few seconds later, the man seemed very satisfied and finally smiled. “My name is Ken Warner. Please, have a seat.”
She initially thought that they would be sitting inside the café. At least, favonovel.com could cool down very quickly. Unfortunately, they sat outside. She could see the ocean at first glance. The scenery was nice, the sea breeze was refreshing, and there was a sun umbrella over them. However, it did nothing to lower the temperature. The heat had already diminished favonovel.com patience for getting to know the other party, so favonovel.com bluntly described favonovel.com current background. “I graduated from Southline University, and studied overseas for three years. Now, I’m working as a designer in a branch under Bright Incorporated. My mom and I are on our own. We have no house and no car. There’s nothing much to describe about our lives. This is a general description of my current situation.”
Ken chuckled, “This is the first time I’ve met anyone as straightforward as you. It’s alright. I’ve already looked into your background in detail before I arrived. I wouldn’t be here if I minded it. Bright isn’t too bad. It’s the main office under the West family’s flag. Since you’re so frank, I won’t play coy. You’re exactly my type.”
Tiffany felt embarrassed by his blunt stare. The man hadn’t stopped staring at favonovel.com ever since favonovel.com arrived. She really was that blunt with favonovel.com words, and favonovel.com was too straightforward. She couldn’t seem to keep up. “Well… Regardless, it’s our first meeting. If all goes well, we can get to know each other a little better. Your situation is much better than mine. My mom and favonovel.com friend did a thorough check on you, after all.”
Ken was very confident in his personal qualifications. “Pretty much. I should fulfill yours and your mother’s expectations. I own a design company myself, I have a five bedroom home and eight figures in my bank account. I don’t like beating around the bush. If I’ve made a good impression on you, let’s confirm our relationship. I don’t like dragging it out or taking it slow. It’s boring.”
