At night...
The weather in April in A was slightly cold and damp. It kept raining.
It started raining after dusk. It seed it would not stop.
Scarlet was sitting in her office. She didn’t plan to leave. At the mont, the light outside turned on unexpectedly. Joanna walked in.
"Scarlet, why didn’t you go? He’s called ."
Joanna looked at Scarlet, fixing his eyes on Scarlet.
Strangely enough, no one would expect that Scarlet would walk for Donald after all those unpleasant stories.
Five years ago, because of the negative reports about Donald and complicated relations inside the Lynch, the board of directors inside the Hawk finally voted to give up on Donald. He lost the right to inheritance of the Hawk Real Estate.
Luckily, Lynch got involved in lots of other industries. After leaving the Hawk Real Estate, Donald withdrew from the real estate and entered into the dia industry, greatly extending the Hawk dia business.
Donald purchased the magazine for which Scarlet worked with.
Therefore, Donald beca Scarlet’s boss.
Joanna gradually beca Scarlet’s friends.
Hearing Joanna’s voice, Scarlet got sober imdiately, "Edie? I...I forget the ti. Sorry, can I go now? Would it be too late?"
Joanna always regarded herself as Edie. When others told her the truth, she would get crazy. She never recovered. Gradually, everyone got used to it. They stopped telling her. They started calling her "Edie."
Even her own parents didn’t tell her. Now when Joanna saw her parents, she would call them uncle and aunt.
Luckily, Donald loved her. And she gave birth to a son for him three years ago. They lived a happy life from then on.
Joanna was really enthusiastic. After hearing that she’s left Jason, Joanna kept arranging a blind date for her. She thought Scarlet was old enough to get married. Otherwise, she would be so worried about her.
Joann’s ntal problem was so strange. She would deny that she was Edie every ten or fifteen days.
Her emotion was so unstable.
If Scarlet refused her kindness, she might be irritated. Therefore, Scarlet had no choice but to say yes.
But she really wanted to refuse this. She didn’t plan to get married at all. Therefore, she delayed the date until today. She didn’t expect Joanna would co to remind her.
"Hurry up. He is still waiting for you."
"Okay. Don’t worry about . Go ho. Otherwise, your husband would worry about you."
"Okay. Tomorrow I would bring you your favorite cake."
"Thank you so much, Edie. I need to go. Goodbye." Scarlet took her purse and left.
Soon she arrived at the dating spot. It was a western restaurant in the diterranean style. The atmosphere made Scarlet feel quite comfortable.
It’s been ten o’clock. There were still lots of people dining here.
She needed to find a man with a red rose on the table.
Soon, she saw the man wearing a suit. She thought he might be 1.78 ters in height.
He was not so short. Quite handso and clean.
Joanna told her he was the CEO of a company. He was born in a family with a famous enterprise in A., But this man didn’t rely on his family. He got all these alone.
Scarlet admired this kind of man.
She walked to him. The man stood up and showed a gentle smile, "Miss Yvette, I am Dana Black."
"Nice to et you," Scarlet greeted politely.
They sat down. Dana asked the waiter to give him the nu. Scarlet didn’t co here to date. She wanted to stop him. But Dana smiled, "Try so snacks here. If we could not be lovers, in the end, we can be friends."
"Well...fine," Scarlet answered.
While ordering, Dana asked Scarlet for opinions. He was so considerate, leaving Scarlet a good impression.
After ordering, they needed to wait for the dishes. Dana found a topic, "You look so young. I heard you are the chief editor of a magazine. You must be a clever woman and beautiful. You really surprised . Unlike , I’ve been old enough, but I haven’t achieved anything. Being able to date to you is a great honor for ."
He was worried that his words might embarrass Scarlet, so he made a smile at the end.
Young, ambitious, achieve sothing, humorous, and talkative.
Why didn’t he have a girlfriend?
Scarlet didn’t believe him.
"You look excellent. Why don’t you have a girlfriend? Why do you need to go on a blind date?"
"I have been so busy with my work before, so I missed a lot. Now I have no enough energy to chase after a girl. Besides, I am not a patient man. I don’t mind blind dates. If I et a suitable girl for , I don’t mind developing a relationship with her. It also takes ti, don’t you think so?"
"You are right. But I might need to apologize to you. I might be wasting your ti tonight. I have sothing else to do tonight. I need to leave now."
"So I failed, right? What’s my problem? Would you mind telling , Miss Yvette." Dana remained with a friendly smile on the face. He looked hurtful. It looked a little amusing, easing the embarrassnt at the mont.
"Because....I am still in love with another man. I don’t know how to forget him."
"Ex? Miss Lara told before."
Miss Lara, he ntioned, was Joanna.
"I heard you love each other so much. You’ve been dating for a long ti. But your ex didn’t want to get married to you. So you decided to break off. Am I right?" Dana asked her out of curiosity.
"No. It is that doesn’t want to get married."
Scarlet took a deep breath and told him the truth.
Hearing this, Dana froze. The expression on his face froze.
Maybe everyone would freeze when hearing this.
A twenty-nine-year-old girl didn’t want to get married.
"Would you mind telling the reason? Why don’t you want to get married?"
"Sorry. It is personal. So I don’t think we should continue the date. I think I might need to leave now."
"Miss Yvette, we might not be able to be lovers. But we can still make friends, right? Don’t refuse so soon. It hurts . At least enjoy the dinner with . Do you really leave alone here to eat these myself?"
Dana laughed bitterly.
Hearing these words, Scarlet also felt a little guilty. She sat down and said this dinner was on her treatnt. She wanted to apologize to him.
But Dana insisted, "In my world, I never let a woman pay the bill."
While eating, Dana talked a lot. He told Scarlet a lot about his life. Scarlet felt comfortable in the whole process.
Scarlet suddenly asked him a question, "Could you tell ....could you tell whether n mind getting married to a woman that is not able to get pregnant?"
"Not be able to get pregnant?" Dana froze slightly.
Dana looked towards Scarlet. He knew she was waiting for his answer. He thought for a while and answered, "I believe there must be n that would accept this. But I am sure most n would not accept this, like . I am the only son of my parents. If my wife could not get pregnant, my parents would disagree with getting married to her."
