Early the following morning, Serene was forced to attend her matchmaking session.
Initially, she randomly threw on some random clothes. However, she was forced back inside by her mother. Serene’s mother grabbed a more fitting and youthful dress from her closet and forced her to put it on before allowing her to leave.
After Serene got into the car, she was hesitating all this time if she should give Wilson a call. When she finally mustered the courage to give Wilson a call, his phone was still switched off.
How could anyone possibly keep their phones switched off during the day. He would not have… blocked her now, would he?
Serene grew frustrated when she thought about that.
Upon arriving at the matchmaking spot, Serene was completely unfocused during her conversation with the other person.
This time, the person looked a lot more normal compared to her previous ones. There were no problems nor was he in any way weird since he even invited Serene to watch a movie with him.
It was a Sci-Fi film.
Serene was completely bored to death and unfocused throughout the entire movie.
After they got out from the cinema, the man seemed to be holding back a lot. He finally spoke, “Miss Ludd, were you forced by your parents? You seemed very unfocused.”
“Um… No. I was just feeling under the weather recently.” Serene replied while awkwardly scratching her head as she felt slightly sorry for him.
The man laughed before reaching out to push his glasses back onto his nose as he said, “It’s fine. I understand that women your age must’ve felt stressed out during any matchmaking sessions. Besides, you’re young and I can understand that.”
The atmosphere seemed slightly awkward and just when Serene was about to say, ‘Let me treat you to a meal’, the man already said, “Miss Ludd, since you’re uninterested in this whole ordeal, I think we should stop wasting each other’s time. Let’s both head home then.”
Although the entire ordeal was unpleasant, Serene thought that his suggestion was the best choice for the both of them since she was not the person who brought that up anyway. When she arrived home, she could at least answer to her mother.
“Alright then. Let’s do that.”
When Serene turned around and was about to leave, the man suddenly called out from behind, “Miss Ludd.”
Serene turned around and stared at him with a puzzled look as she asked, “What’s the matter, Mr. Lou?”
The man handed her one of the two movie tickets they bought earlier and said, “Since we’re never going to work out, let’s split the bill for the movie tickets then.”
Serene was speechless.
Serene immediately tossed him a hundred bucks, turned around and walked away without even looking back.
Why were all men these days so weird!
How could a man be so stingy when a date could not work out? He was so cheap that he was unwilling to even spend on a single movie ticket! So that was why he could not get a girlfriend!
Serene furiously told Verian about the peculiar ordeal she had just gone through.
Verian replied with a series of, “Hahaha.”
…
Since today happened to be a Saturday in the Fudd family home, Verian was keeping Little Jelly Bean company while she drew. She nearly laughed herself to death when she received Serene’s text.
That was too peculiar now. It seemed a matchmaking date was terrifying.
Little Jelly Bean curiously asked, “Monty, what are you laughing at?”
“I was laughing at a stingy person.”
When Heaton came downstairs from his study, he noticed Verian was laughing hysterically while clutching onto her phone.
Who was this woman talking to? Why was she this happy?
He approached her and sat beside her as he asked, “What are you laughing at?”
Verian immediately handed her phone to him as she said, “Look, Serene’s date for her matchmaking session is a huge weirdo. He even wanted to split the bill for their movie tickets.”
“Why did Serene go to a matchmaking session?”
