Chapter 374 She Is Trying To Mess With Him
Upon hearing Christopher’s statement, Fanny obediently refrained from asking further questions.
As a precaution, Christopher promptly blocked Jane’s number.
Once they were in the car. Fanny suddenly inquired, “Christopher, how did your blind date go?”
Caught off guard by Fanny’s question, Christopher was unsure how to respond.
“Christopher, I understand you didn’t willingly go on the blind date. I initially intended to use Yaxley to tease you.” She realized she had to confront Christopher about Yaxley. Ignoring it would only leave Christopher with lingering discomfort. However, she couldn’t solely focus on Yaxley. Instead, she intertwined the topic with Christopher’s blind date. In this manner, even if Christopher felt slighted, he would also experience a sense of indebtedness.
“I understand.” Christopher paused before stating. “It was my mistake, and I won’t repeat it. Even if my father insists on another blind date, I won’t comply.” With a firm resolve, he spoke slowly and decisively.
Fanny breathed a sigh of relief. Though Christopher’s assurance isn’t entirely convincing, it does alleviate my

After blocking Jane, she was spared further harassment, but a call from Michael interrupted when they entered a clothing store. Michael’s call came in.
As Christopher’s phone rang, Fanny observed him closely. She had a nagging feeling that Christopher was keeping something from her, which made her hypersensitive to his interactions. Fearing Christopher might dismiss the call as a nuisance again, she couldn’t help but let her mind wander.

Upon seeing Michael’s incoming dad calling. Fanny, You go ahead and browse the clothes. I’ll be back soon.” And with that, he left.
Fanny watched him depart, pondering silently, but she chose not to follow.
Most likely, Michael’s call concerned setting up another blind date for Christopher.
Fanny, unsure if Christopher would uphold his promise, decided to make the most of her time. Instead of dwelling on Christopher, she selected an outfit to try on.
As Christopher answered the call outside the store, he was met with Michael’s unrestrained scolding. “Why are you ignoring Ms. Coolidge’s calls? Finally, she is interested in you. What’s wrong with you? If you mess this up, I’ll ensure you learn your lesson.”
The reprimand took Christopher aback, especially Michael’s initial statement. “She interested in me? Dad, what do you mean?” Although I ignore Jane’s call, the idea of her liking me is perplexing.
Michael calmed down and elaborated. “Ms. Coolidge from the Coolidge Family finds you appealing. So go out with her, get to know each other, and let’s set a wedding date soon!”

Christopher was bewildered. Am I unaware of Jane’s feelings for me? Despite my uncertainty about her intentions, I am sure Jane is trying to mess with me. “Dad, I don’t think we’re a good match.”

Even over the phone, Michael’s anger was palpable. Before Christopher could respond, Teresa’s voice came on the line. She reassured Michael. “Don’t be upset, Christopher mentioned that Ms. Coolidge from the Coolidge Family may not be the right match for him, so he may not have feelings for her. As parents, can we torce him to marry someone he doesn’t like?”
Christopher listened and silently thanked Teresa. Compared to Michael’s firmness, Teresa was more focused on his emotions.
“Ah–Teresa was pushed and fell to the ground, holding her leg and sweating. “Michael, my leg hit the ground.”
“Christopher, your dad is not here right now. Let me talk to you.” Teresa’s voice was low and sounded a bit tired.
Christopher understood Teresa’s implication but didn’t know how to respond. Jane is not interested in me at all. After all, she showed no mercy when she slapped me in the face.
He remained silent, and Teresa continued, “Christopher, I don’t ask anything else of you. Just stabilize Ms. Coolidge first so that your father can feel better.”
