Ice and Fire novel Chapter 846

Lawrence knew that he was in big trouble now because his Aunt Selina was being a big wet hen.

"Aunt Selina," Lawrence called out gently. He was trying not to infuriate her again.

"Lawrence, how could you ask Mike to go to the blind date on your behalf? Does that mean you will also let him marry your wife on your wedding day?" nagged Selina. She was really irritated by these two men's small trick.

"No, no, no, Aunt Selina," Mike replied hurriedly. He glimpsed at Lawrence before he went on, "Lawrence went to the blind date last night. He really did."

"So, can you tell me why it was you who went to the blind date this morning?" questioned Selina again. "Why is Lawrence sitting in the office and working?" "Well, I..." Mike was suddenly at a loss for words.

Since Mike was stammering, Selina turned back to Lawrence.

She angrily asked, "Lawrence, how about the blind date last night? How did it go?" Lawrence didn't answer so she added, "What do you think of Mary?

When Lawrence heard the last question, he only shook his head. He turned around to avoid Selina's gaze and then he answered, "Not good."

"Why? What's the matter?" Selina asked in astonishment. She continued, "You know that she has a very good family background, right?"

"But she has a bad character," Lawrence replied without hesitation. He knew a lot of young ladies like Mary who had great family backgrounds and just like them, he also didn't think Mary would qualify to be his wife.

Selina didn't know what else to say when she saw the indifferent look on Lawrence's face. She kept silent for a moment. After a while, she finally said, "Well, since Mike screwed up the blind date this morning, you have to go on a blind date this afternoon."

"No, I can't. I have something to deal with this afternoon," Lawrence directly refused.

"I can help you deal with it if it's something about work so you can go to your blind date," Selina suggested.

"It's not about work," Lawrence replied immediately. He didn't want to explain anymore so he just said, "I have an appointment with Greg."

Selina didn't say a word when Lawrence mentioned Greg's name. She fell silent again.

When he noticed that Selina went silent, Lawrence stood up and walked towards her. He then sat next to her. He put a hand on Selina's shoulder and leaned closer to her. He said, "Aunt Selina, don't ask me to go on blind dates anymore, okay? I promise you, I will definitely get married within one year."

"One year?" Selina exclaimed. "That's quite too long," she complained.

"How about half a year? I'll get married in half a year. Would that be okay?" Lawrence negotiated helplessly.

"No," Selina firmly refused. "I'll give you only three months," she added. She looked at Lawrence intently and said, "You only have three months to get married starting today. Make sure to introduce her to me next month. Then I'll hold an engagement party for the two of you as soon as I finish investigating her family background. On the third month, I will definitely schedule your wedding ceremony."
