"What's wrong?" Serenity was puzzled to see Jackson stopping in his tracks."Nothing," Jackson looked back down and answered indifferently.When they returned to the main house, Serenity asked, "How are you feeling right now?""Much better," he replied."Even if the gastric pain is an old sickness, you still have to find time to go to the doctor and get treatment," said Serenity, "If you don't take care of it, it might develop into something serious.""Are you concerned about me, Sis?" he asked. The corners of his lips rose in a smile.She was stumped. She tried to go upstairs in embarrassment, but he pulled her into his arms. "Okay, I promise I'll go to the doctor. I will also take the medicine you bought every day. If I listen to you, will you like me more?""What?" She was exasperated. What was he talking about? Did he just say he would listen to her? Oh god, how was that possible? Was that something a man like him would say?He lowered his head and moved his face close to h
When Lisa could finally hang up, Serenity asked, "What did your mother say to you? You look like you're having a hard time.""What else? She set me up on a blind date." Lisa rolled her eyes. "My mother said the man this time is highly sought-after. She said it took a lot of effort to snatch him from the hands of other mothers. She wanted me to meet him."Lisa sighed helplessly.Her mother seemed to think that if she could not get married in the next two years, she would not be able to get married ever."Just go and meet him then. Take it as an opportunity," Serenity thought about it and said."Nah. I already have enough headaches. A blind date will only bring me more headaches." Lisa felt like coughing blood at the thought of her mother setting her up on blind dates."What's wrong?" asked Serenity.Lisa looked at her best friend and said, "Would you be surprised if I say that I'm dating Terry White?"Serenity almost choked on her own saliva. "You're dating Terry White? Didn't y
Lisa... She hadn't experienced too much of the darker side of the world, unlike Serenity. Serenity had seen too much of the mentioned darkness in prison. Sometimes, she didn't even have the strength to cry."Pfft!" The pudding in Lisa's mouth sprayed out before she could swallow it. She quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe it off, then said to Serenity, "Seriously, if you want to joke, at least do it when I don’t have anything in my mouth. That was too much.""I was serious," Serenity said.They stared at each other for a while, then Lisa chuckled and said, "If he really had feelings for me, it wouldn't work out. Think about how the White family is! If we got together, our life would be a constant battle within his family. With how I am, I'd probably be crushed in minutes."Ugh, so it's better not to think about these things! Once she paid off her debt to Terry, she would be free, right?"Forget about that. By the way, you said you found a new job. How is it? Is it going well?" Lisa
Alright! Lisa confirmed the man was the right person she was meeting today.Lisa stepped forward and said, "You must be Mr. Godfrey Longwell. Hello, I'm Lisa.""Hello," the man replied, studying Lisa."Um... I wanted to tell you something. I..." Lisa wanted to apologize to him. After all, she had only agreed to this blind date to appease her mother. She would be fine to treat the man to a meal and consider making a new friend, but nothing further than that.Godfrey interrupted her before she could finish, "Let's just take a stroll here for now. I see there's a small park next to the supermarket. Let's take a walk there."Huh? Go to the park?Lisa glanced at the darkening sky. It was already past five in the afternoon, nearly dinner time. "Aren't you hungry?"She was simply reminding him out of goodwill. After all, this was a crowded area, and many restaurants around here would likely have long queues during dinnertime. If they waited until they finished strolling in the pa
"Ms. Quest, who is he?" Godfrey Longwell asked."Yeah. Tell him." Terry looked at Lisa, "Who am I?" The two men kept their gaze pinned on Lisa, their gazes almost piercing through her!One was the blind date her mother had forcibly arranged, and the other was her new revengeful boyfriend, both of whom she should not offend!After careful consideration, the blind date her mother introduced was the lesser of the two. Lisa decided to keep Terry happy, so she turned to Godfrey with a sheepish smile."Ah, I almost forgot the introduction. Mr. Longwell, meet my boyfriend, uh, Mr. White."Godfrey's face turned ugly at that. "Boyfriend? You have a boyfriend?!""Y-yeah..." Lisa responded, feeling guilty. No matter how strange and awkward Godfrey had been, it was her fault in this case.Godfrey trembled in a fury, his face beet red as he cursed at her. "I kindly came to have a blind date with you, but you're actually taken! That's too much! You must give me an explanation! Are you playi
Lisa almost choked at his words. Cheating?! What the heck! She was not dating any one of them, okay?Lisa thought about it and decided to explain it to Terry curtly. "Hey... My mom was the one who forced me into this. She insisted on the blind date. If I didn't show up, she said she’d cut off relations with me. I wanted to tell him about you, but he interrupted me."Lisa was technically not lying about this."Your mother forced you on the blind date?" He raised his eyebrows. "Y-yeah!" Lisa smiled sheepishly. Her mother's strength in forcing her to blind date was beyond the charts. She could not fight back at all."So, you haven't told your family about me?" Terry questioned with a dangerous glint in his eyes.Lisa felt weak. Tell her parents? How could she tell them?! Besides, Terry's identity alone would scare her parents especially when... She was just going through the motions. Besides, her relationship with Terry seemed kind of fruitless. "Well, our relationship was too su
Lisa looked like a hungry little pig. As Terry was unfamiliar with the restaurants in the area, Lisa gladly took him to one of her favorite restaurants."They have some special dishes here. You won't find them in any other place." Once they got a seat in the restaurant, Lisa took the menu and ordered with great enthusiasm.While ordering, she passionately introduced the best dishes served in the restaurant. Halfway through, she found Terry looking at her with a deep gaze."Ah, sorry. I’ve spoken too much," Lisa said."Don't worry about it. Carry on. I'm listening," Terry said flatly.Lisa rubbed her nose, suddenly feeling lost for words. Not knowing what to say, Lisa spontaneously blurted out, "So, what brings you here today?" She wished she had bitten her tongue the moment she said that. It had been so hard for them to get past the topic of her blind date earlier. Why had she led the conversation back to the topic?! Sure enough, Terry looked up at her and said, "If I hadn't c
"I'm just thinking..." Lisa suddenly jolted, her gaze locked on Terry while her train of thoughts ran through her head. Terry was the current head of the White family. He naturally had connections and contacts in his hands. If Terry would help her look into Serenity's case, she might have an easier time getting some useful leads compared to looking alone.Lisa's eyes sparkled at that thought. Her gaze on Terry became even more intense, and she looked at him like he was some great treasure in the world."Hey... I know I did something wrong to you back then. I admit all my mistakes. I promise to do what you say, but umm... While we're dating, can you do me a small favor?" Lisa looked at Terry with hopeful eyes."A favor?" Terry seemed a little intrigued. "What kind of small favor do you need?" Looking at Lisa's expectant look, he could tell that this favor might not be as small as she made it seem."Umm, remember my friend Serenity? The lady who came to me with Jackson. She was con
