Chapter 1186
John's blind date laughed. "Well, I've never failed thus far."
"By the way, are you really not going to settle down?" her friend asked, her tone turning slightly serious. "It's just been one blind date after another—are you really just going to play around like that?"
"Settle down? I'm only twenty-four! That'd be a waste of my youth. And you know that I won't ever get my parents to shut up unless I attend these blind dates. And what's the harm when I might find some top-quality stud while I do?"
"Older men are not that playful, y'know," her friend warned. "He might want you to take responsibility."
"Don't worry—I'm a veteran," John's blind dates said nonchalantly. "That said, I don't mind hanging around to play a bit more with this one. You have no idea, but he's the best-looking one I've had yet. He'd even give movie stars a run for their money."
"Really?"
"I'll send a photo over later."
"In bed, I hope." Her friend laughed.
"I'll do my best." John's blind date did not reject the idea.
"You better do, sister."
"Don't worry—I change lovers, not besties. You can pickup what's left after I'm done."
"That's a deal."
The two women spoke a lot more after that, and it was not until John's blind date hung up that she noticed Cordy standing beside her.
She did a double take, finding Cordy a little familiar just then.
And it was only natural to take a second look at another woman that was gorgeous—out of an instinctive competitiveness between females and not attraction.
She then remembered that Cordy was sitting at the next table with her son, who appeared around ten.
'What a shame, wasting her youth like that.'
Still, she greeted Cordy. "What a coincidence."
"Yeah," Cordy replied.
"You're married quite young."
"I'm not actually married."
