Chapter 488

Nathalie stroked Buster’s soft fur, her expression completely detached. “Whatever happens to them from now on has nothing to do with me.’

Damaris nodded emphatically. “Exactly. Let’s focus less on the scum of the earth. Our future is bright and beautiful!”

She was always full of boundless energy.

Nathalie asked, “How have you been lately? Has your mom stopped forcing you to go on blind dates?”

“Don’t even get me started!” Damaris puffed her cheeks in frustration. “That idiot, Bagot, lost his damn mind! He actually told my family that we’re dating! And now? Now my parents know, and every other day they’re hounding me to bring him home for dinner! My mom told me to behave myself, stop throwing tantrums, and said it was a ‘blessing’ that a guy like him would even look at me. She told me to cherish this ‘destiny.’ Bullshit!”

Nathalie was utterly stunned. “Why… why would he say something like that? Does he actually like you?”

“He said he doesn’t like me! He claimed he only did it to help me fend off my parents, considering the absolute freaks they kept setting me up with.” Damaris’s expression twisted into something deeply conflicted.

“I am so incredibly stressed right now! Sure, the blind dates stopped, but now my parents want him over for dinner constantly! I have absolutely zero relationship with him! This is entirely his fault, so why does it feel like I’m the one paying the price?”

Damaris looked completely miserable. Just as she finished her rant, her

one started ringing. She glanced at the caller ID, tossed the phone

o the coffee table, and hit speakerphone.

maris, where are you?”

Chapter 488

It was Elaine, sounding absolutely delighted.

Damaris replied weakly, “I’m at home.”

Elaine immediately, scolded, “Why are you at home? You should be out on a date with Bagot! Couples need to spend time together to build a connection. You have to see him often! Let me tell you something, young lady-don’t you dare throw any of your little tantrums with him, you hear me? If you end up losing a great guy like Bagot, I am going to be furious with you.”

Damaris threw her hands up in exasperation and looked at Nathalie.

She mouthed, *See? Was I exaggerating?*

Nathalie was stunned into silence, caught between wanting to laugh and feeling bad for her friend.

Damaris let out a loud sigh. “Mom, please stop listening to his nonsense, okay? There is absolutely nothing going on between us!”

“Damaris, you’re an adult. You’re allowed to date! You don’t have to be afraid that we’re going to scold you, because we won’t! Since you two are together, you need to treat each other well. Stop making up excuses, understand? Besides, why would Bagot joke about something like this with us? You’re just being stubborn. Damaris, we raised you to be a responsible person.”

Damaris: “…”

Too late for that.

She had already been irresponsible.

A one-night stand where she totally ghosted him.

Damaris rubbed her temples in defeat. “Alright, alright, I get it.”
