No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother-Chapter 530 - 528: I’m on a Blind Date [5 updates]
The man looked at the obedient girl, bit her little face, and asked, "Maya, do you like Christopher?"
"I like him!"
"How much do you like him?"
"Very much, very much."
"Little thing, don’t be anxious."
"Chris..."
Maya kept calling Liam’s name; she liked being wrapped in his love, liked how he enveloped her with such tenderness, liked how comfortable he made her feel, liked being tightly embraced in his arms, merging into one. Only by Liam’s side did Maya feel completely whole and happy.
She enjoyed the way he treated her, every single act of kindness was savored. She wanted more of his love, an immeasurable amount.
...
At this moment, in Seven’s apartment, she recalled Maya’s charming cry just now, with a bitter smile at the corner of her mouth.
On the phone, she knew exactly what Liam was doing with Maya.
She envied the love Liam showered upon Maya and wished she could have such love for herself.
But when she thought about the two blind dates she had today, Seven shook her head helplessly, thinking, When will these blind dates end? When will she encounter true love?
Seven sighed heavily, tapped her forehead with the phone in her hand, and commanded herself, "Seven, don’t be too picky today, settle if it’s just good enough."
Thus, she picked out a quiet, less professional outfit, changed into it, and left the bedroom.
In the living room, Madam Murray looked at the slightly transformed Seven, beaming with joy, tugging on her arm, saying, "That’s more like it. You look much more endearing to men this way. Don’t wear suits all the time, looking like a tomboy."
"I know, Mom..." Seven dragged her tone, helplessly going along.
Actually, she hadn’t changed much today; she just swapped her usual suit for a dress. It was Madam Murray paying such close attention that she felt the change was significant.
Soon after, Seven drove to the coffee shop for the date.
When she arrived at the coffee shop, it was 10:15. As she sat down, she happened to see Christopher walking in.
She took a deep breath and immediately grabbed the magazine on the table to cover her face to avoid being seen by Christopher.
She wasn’t afraid to see Christopher, just unwilling to let him catch her on a blind date, which would make her feel very awkward.
Even though she had already covered her whole face, she still couldn’t escape Christopher’s gaze.
Not far from the coffee shop’s entrance, Christopher scanned the interior, heading straight for Seven’s table.
When he stopped in front of Seven, he took his right hand out of his windbreaker pocket, took the magazine from Seven’s hand, and pretended to be surprised, asking, "Seven, are you waiting for a friend here?"
Seven was almost frightened to death by the familiar voice of the man. However, she still wore a calm smile on her face and replied, "Yes! What a coincidence, I didn’t expect you to be here."
If Seven had known in advance that Christopher would be at this café today, she would never have chosen this place for a blind date.
Little did she know, Christopher’s appearance was not coincidental at all.
This guy had long been following Seven’s movements. Knowing she was going on blind dates these days, he was terribly upset, shutting himself in the office every day, trying to numb himself with work, but to no avail.
After much inner conflict, he finally made up his mind to see Seven’s blind date opponent, his rival.
During this period, Christopher tried to give up on Seven, let go of Seven, for both to start new lives.
However, the more he thought this way, the more unwilling he became, the less he wanted to see Seven happy with other men; even just thinking about it made him jealous, let alone seeing it with his own eyes. Such a blow was unbearable for Christopher.
So, he came.
Listening to Seven saying what a coincidence, he naturally smiled at the corner of his mouth and sat down beside her without reservation.
Seven sat in the middle of the sofa; after Christopher forcefully sat down, the sofa felt very cramped, making Seven very embarrassed.
Seven hadn’t had time to speak to Christopher to ask him to leave when Christopher rudely said, "Seven, move a little inside."
Seven took a deep breath, thinking, What on earth does Christopher want? Can’t he see that he’s not welcome?
So, she uncomfortably reminded him with a forced smile, "Christopher, my friend will be here soon, it’s really not nice for you to be here."
"Friend? What friend? Is there a friend I don’t know about? Since everyone knows each other, why not sit together? I won’t get in your way." Christopher pretended not to know that Seven was on a blind date.
Seven saw Christopher’s pretense and felt helpless.
She didn’t want to get angry with Christopher, nor did she want to tear up with him, but his behavior did indeed leave her embarrassed.
So, she didn’t hide anything; she moved herself a bit inside to make it appear less crowded, then said earnestly, "Christopher, I’m on a blind date. Sitting next to me makes me very embarrassed and also makes it awkward for the other party. Please give us some respect, okay?"
"Blind date? Seven, you’re on a blind date?" Christopher, knowing full well Seven was on a blind date, acted surprised with a look of disbelief.
"Yes! That’s right, I’m on a blind date, so please understand that I can’t invite you to join for coffee." Seven was very candid, hoping Christopher would know when to retreat without creating trouble for her.
However, Christopher nonchalantly said, "No worries, I’m not busy today, I can stay and help you evaluate. There are many scammers nowadays; don’t fall for them." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
"..." Seven felt even more embarrassed upon hearing that Christopher wanted to stay and help her evaluate.
Christopher clung to the seat, refusing to leave, making her unbearably awkward.
Moreover, she believed this guy was absolutely not here by chance but intentionally came to disrupt her meeting.
