Sherry's voice trailed off. She suddenly loosened her grip on Terence's arm and opened her mouth wide. Staring at Terence like a monster, she stuttered, "You... You..."
Terence touched his face irritably and nodded. "Yes, I agreed to go on a blind date. You didn't mishear. " After that, he glanced at his mother, and his face turned dark red.
"Ouch! Good boy! Good boy! " Sherry came to her senses and hugged him excitedly as if she was afraid that he would run away. She shouted, "Linda! Go and call his father! Tell him that his son agreed to go on a blind date! "
"Okay!"
Said Terence with a darkened face, allowing his mother to wobble him.
"Come and have a look." Sherry was still very excited. She collected the photos on the table and pushed them to Terence. "Look, these are all chosen by me. Look at this 36C, and this, 36d! This one... "
"Stop, stop, stop." Terence took a few glances at the photos, and there was a disgusted look in his eyes. He pressed the photo in his mother's hand against the table to block the photo. "Mom, I don't want this," he cried
"Okay, I got it. Well 36A."
"……" Terence clenched his teeth and forced a smile. "Mom, can you be more serious? If you keep doing this, I will take back what I have said. "
"Okay." However, Sherry wasn't mad at all. She looked through all the pictures on the table casually and threw all of them into a paper box. Then she snorted proudly, "these pictures are all the rest. These women, even I don't like them, are far from being my daughter-in-law!"
Terence slightly lifted the corners of his mouth and breathed a sigh of relief.
"These." Sherry took four or five pictures out of her pocket magically and said, "These are what I chose. Come and have a look..."
"I don't want to see it anymore." Terence shook his head, stood up and said, "I have something to deal with in the company. I come back to take something and I'm leaving. I can rest assured for the person you choose. "
"Well, can you all go to have a look?" Sherry's eyes lit up.
Terence hesitated for a moment and nodded. "Okay."
"That's great!" Sherry suddenly stood up from the sofa. "Go to see if there's anything wrong with it. Go! Anyway, I didn't send your photos to her, and you just don't see her photo now. Well, it's good for you to go on a blind date with a trace of expectation, isn't it? "
"Why didn't you give them my photos?" Said Terence, frowning.
"I just don't want my son to be too handsome and end up with some pestering." Sherry grinned evilly. "I always choose families of equal social rank, but there has never been any connection with our family. If they don't look at the photo, they won't make trouble for you "
Nodding, Terence said, "Mom, you are so considerate. That's it. "
"Then do you need me to reserve a meeting this weekend and place for you?"
"Okay." Terence nodded. "I'll go upstairs first."
"Good boy, why do you suddenly come around?" Seeing that Terence was about to leave, Sherry quickly said.
Terence didn't stop. He smiled, "I think it's time to get married."
Holding her own arms, Sherry watched Terence go upstairs, and then lowered her head to look at the photo in her hand. She laughed, "It seems that I am looking forward to have a grandson next year. Ah, Linda, can you accompany me to buy some baby products this afternoon?"
When Terence just turned the stairs, he heard his mother's words and shook his head with a smile.
On Saturday, the sun shone brightly. In a coffee shop named 'heart to heart' in the center of M City.
Sitting in front of the double table by the window, Terence was waiting patiently for the girl's arrival. His legs were slightly crossed, and his angular side face was even more shining in the sunlight. His movement and demeanor were all elegant, attracting the attention of many people in the store. Terence arrived a little earlier than the appointment at 9 o'clock. In terms of time, he was very determined and he would never let girls wait.
Tinkle——
"Welcome!"
The noise of the door opening and the welcome of the staff were heard, which made Terence look up immediately. A tall woman came in, stood in front of the shop and looked around. With refined facial features and almond shaped eyes, she wore delicate light make-up, high-heeled shoes, and an even long dress. She was graceful but not charming.
The woman came in alone. The clerk asked, "Are you here alone? Or... "
"Oh, I'm looking for someone."
Said the woman flatly, whose eyes had been glued to the seat by the window. When she saw Terence suddenly, her eyes were fixed on him. Noticing her gaze, Terence looked into her eyes without saying anything. He wondered, 'Is she...'? His blind date?
Duh duh duh——
She was wearing high heels. She walked with grace and calmness at every step.
She was as calm as he was now! Without thinking too much, Terence stood up slowly. As the woman walked towards him, he asked, "Miss Xia?"
The woman replied with a polite smile, "Yes, that's right. It's me. " With these words, she reached out her hand.
Terence raised his right hand to shake hands with her and then loosed it politely.
