"Uncle, I... I need to do something tonight. Can I not go..."
Miranda asked timidly.
Every time she went to see her grandmother, she would always introduce a potential partner to her.
It has been like this every year since her first year of middle school.
Her grandmother kept saying that she should find a compatible partner early on, then marry as soon as she graduated.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have any good options left.
More importantly...
The bachelors that her grandmother introduced to her needed to fulfil these conditions:
First, he must be an heir.
Second, he should be wealthy.
The third condition was his company should have the potential to grow in the future.
The fourth condition was his appearance and personality.
Come on, she's surrounded by countless gorgeous people, not to mention her uncles who are considered to be the top attractive men in the world.
As for those who are not on par with her standards...
The others wouldn't think that they'd make a good match.
Of course, these were not important to her.
What matters most was that her heart was already occupied!
Henry slightly raised his brow. Before he could say anything, Miranda had already gave in.
"Alright, alright, I'll go..."
She wasn't afraid of anything... except for her uncle.
"Ms. Garcia, please get in." Denny said with a smile.
"Well... Well, since you have something to do, you guys can go ahead. Haha." Rosa said in a hurry.
"Please don't. Didn't we agree to go see your brother first? It's not like we're in a hurry for dinner!" Miranda said hurriedly.
She squeezed her wrist.
And gazed at her immediately.
"Rosa, don't leave me!" She signalled her.
Rosa was helpless. She really didn't want to go with them.
However, Miranda was her best friend.
"Rosa..." Miranda called her again.
"Alright!" Rosa took a deep breath and agreed.
Miranda immediately smiled and helped her to the passenger seat.
She opened the front door for Rosa.
Then, she opened the back door.
However...
"Rosa..." Suddenly, Miranda grabbed Rosa, who was about to enter the car.
"I... I feel dizzy..." Miranda pretended to hold her forehead and showed a weak expression.
Rosa was stunned. She immediately held her and asked worriedly, "Why do you feel dizzy all of a sudden? Are you okay?"
"Rosa, I feel carsick. I... I want to sit in the front seat!" She said as she helped her to the back seat.
The next second, she ran to the passenger seat and slammed the door shut.
Her movements were exceptionally swift.
Rosa was a little stunned and stood there awkwardly. She didn't know whether to go in or leave.
"Miss Lopez, do you need any help?" Seeing that she had not entered for a long time, Denny started worrying.
Rosa forced a smile and slowly entered the car.
"Rosa..." Miranda turned her head and looked at her with a smile.
Rosa immediately rolled her eyes at her.
Miranda stuck out her tongue and turned her head, not daring to make a sound.
Henry turned to look at her. He saw the blush on her cheeks as her eyes darted around, not daring to look at him. Then, a smile appeared under his dark eyes.
After a long while, Miranda suddenly broke the silence and said, "Thank you, uncle. You're amazing."
"Thank me?"
"Yes, Rosa told me everything. My cell phone was out of battery yesterday. I was so worried when I heard what happened. Thankfully you were there. Rosa also said that you're her lucky star!" Miranda found a topic to fill the awkward silence.
"Is that so?" The man chuckled. For some reason, he sounded happy.
Rosa blushed and didn't dare to look at him.
Can this Miranda not expose her like this?
"Yes, right, Rosa?" Miranda immediately called her.
"Yes, yes, yes." She lowered her head, wanting to find a hole to hide in.
"By the way, uncle, Rosa just moved to a new place. Do you think we should prepare a housewarming gift?"
"Miranda!" Rosa immediately stopped her, indicating that she should stop talking.
Miranda frowned and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? It's not like you and my uncle are strangers. He even helped you yesterday!"
Rosa raised her eyebrows. She wanted to say something, but she really had no idea how to refute her.
"Miranda, what a smart girl!" Henry's smile was unreadable.
Miranda was stunned. It was rare for her to be praised by Henry, so she became excited at once.
"Right? Haha, Rosa, look at what my uncle said. You and I are best friends, what is mine is also yours. My uncle is also your uncle, so if you need anything just tell me. My uncle will definitely help, right?"
"Miranda, stop talking!" Rosa was very nervous. She was afraid that if she continued, this man would say something unexpected.
The man glanced at her and then pursed his thin lips. "Miranda is right. Rosa... I'm your 'uncle'. You don't have to be so nervous!"
"That's right. What are you afraid of? It's not like my uncle will eat you up!" Miranda continued.
"I'm not so sure about that one!" The man smirked mysteriously as he looked at her cheekily.
"Uh... Uncle, what did you say?" Miranda didn't understand.
"Miranda!" Rosa suddenly yelled.
She immediately interrupted her question.
Miranda was stunned and paused for a moment. "Uh...
"What's wrong?" She wondered.
