Nancy’s aunt, Roanne Drew, patted her shoulder and said in a displeased tone, “Why are you screaming? How old are you now? You’re not seeing anyone right now, so I’ll introduce a young entrepreneur from our town to you today. He owns a food factory, and his family has assets worth up to ten million dollars. Don’t you think he’s good enough for you?”
Nancy’s mother, May Brand, agreed and said, ‘She’s right, Nancy. He has a nice family and has good looks too. We’ve checked him out for you.”
Her father, Joshua Brand, seemed earnest, keeping quiet the entire time.
There was no way Nancy would accept it. She quickly said, “I don’t want to date anyone yet. Wilbur, stop the car now. I’m not going.”
She had no idea that the lunch wonkl be a blind date.
She did not want to do it, and Wilbur was around too. She felt so ashamed that she wanted to crawl inside a hole.
Wilbur felt awkward too. He did not know whether he should stop the car or not. It was her family business, after all
Roanne yelled, “Driver, don’t listen to her. We’re in charge today. We spent days making plans for you. How could you refuse to go just like that?”
He helplessly drove at a slow pace.
Nancy wanted to resist and gave a lot of excuses. but her mother and her aunt had made up their minds. They forced her to go no matter what
They were not far from the city, so they had arrived while the argument was ongoing
Roanne instructed Wilbur to park in front of a restaurant and then dragged Nancy out of the car.
Her parents then quickly got out of the car too. Joshua told Wilbur in a friendly manner, “Kid, you should eat with us too.”
“Uhm, I don’t think so. It won’t be appropriate.” He chuckled wryly.
It was not appropriate for a mere driver to take part in a blind date.
However, Nancy yelled, “Come here, Wilbur. You have to join this one.”
