âReally? Thatâs great, quick, go out and meet her.â
The old lady was initially confused, but as soon as she heard the words âblind date,â she perked up, using her cane to stand up, shakily making her way outside.
Seeing this, Annie hastily supported her, and turning her head, she glared at her son, saying sternly, âWhat are you dazed for? Hurry up and come out.â
âOhâ¦â
Spencerâs face fell, looking helplessly toward Greg.
Adrian chuckled and said, âLooking to Big Brother Greg wonât help, who asked you to be the only child in the family?â
âThatâs it, we are through!â
Spencer glared at him proudly and, supporting his grandmother, headed outside.
Suppressing his laughter and feeling somewhat curious, Greg turned his head and asked, âShall we go out and take a look too?â
Adrian seemed uninterested and shook his head, âNo need, we are guests, we should just wait here.â
Before he finished speaking, he saw Spencer leading the old lady back in, accompanied by an elegant and dignified middle-aged woman.
Behind them were Annie and the others.
Seeing this, Greg felt curious and said in surprise, âWerenât they going for a blind date? Where is the person for the date?â
âThere she isâ¦â
Adrian pointed toward the doorway.
Greg followed his gaze, only to see the doorway suddenly darken as if something had blocked the sunlight.
Right after, a robust girl walked in.
Greg was stunned instantly.
Adrian said helplessly, âAlas, poor Spencer, his grandma has found him this sort again.â
Greg slowly came back to his senses, smacking his lips, and said, âNow I understand why he didnât want to come home.â
The two exchanged a glance, sighing simultaneously.
Truth be told, the woman wasnât bad-looking, at least she had good fundamentals, but she was just too heavy.
Although she wasnât to the point of needing a cart to move around, her weight was surely not below 180 pounds.
With a height of 170 cm, what did 180 pounds look like?
Essentially, it was like dating a robust man.
Spencer came from wealth and wasnât bad looking, to have him date such a robust person was like pushing him toward death.
Thinking this, Greg sighed again, lifting his head to meet Spencerâs gaze.
In those bright eyes, there was an utter sense of helplessness, his eyes trembling slightly, as if to say:
Brother, save me, please, Iâm dying.
Greg let out another long sigh and couldnât help but ask, âHas no one ever spoken to the old lady about this? According to modern aesthetics, this kind of heavy person is really not attractive.â
âTheyâve spoken to her, but itâs no use, the old lady is convinced that this is the build she likes, nothing anyone says will change her mind.â
âAlright.â
Greg inspected the girl more closely and asked, âWhatâs the story with this girl?â
âDonât know, she must have some significant background, right?â
Adrian gazed at the woman and said, âNot only does the old lady value body size, but she also has high demands on family background. Ordinary familiesâ daughters wonât catch the old ladyâs eye.â
Greg looked up and indeed noticed that the girl behaved gracefully, self- assured in laughter and conversation, clearly with good upbringing.
Those bright eyes occasionally glanced at Spencer, showing a glimmer of joy.
Even in modern times, marriage for females from significant families like hers could rarely be decided by themselves.
Itâs all a matter of luck what they look like or what their character is like.
Spencer was quite good-looking and had a good reputation, not at all like the other rich second-generation kids who were constantly womanizing.
Jaden Ford felt delighted inside, her expressions revealing a subtle happiness.
The elderly lady chatted with the middle-aged noblewoman for a while and then said to Spencer Burley, âWhy donât you youngsters take a walk in the garden? Itâs not proper to always hover around the elders.â
Annie Stuart quickly said, âExactly, Louisa, didnât Mr. Jensen just mention that you should occasionally get some sunshine for your illness?
âTake an umbrella with you and stroll in the garden with Magnus and the others. With Mr. Jensen by your side, weâll feel relieved.â
Spencer Burley glanced disdainfully at Jaden Ford and humphed, âNo can do, I twisted my ankle and canât move.â
The grandmotherâs face darkened as she snapped, âTwisted my foot, you were just hopping around earlier, go on now.â
Louisa Burley stood up, picked up a black umbrella next to her, and came to her brother with a smile, âMagnus, letâs hurry, donât make grandma angry.â
Jaden Fordâs expression momentarily stalled, but then he smiled again, seemingly unbothered by Spencerâs attitude.
Under the stern gazes of his grandmother and mother, Spencer finally stood up reluctantly and walked out.
Louisa smiled and said to Greg Jensen, âMr. Jensen, shall we go?â
âAlright.â
Greg Jensen nodded at her, then followed her out.
Behind the Burley familyâs villa was a large garden that even had a small lake.
Greg Jensen sat down with Louisa Burley on a bench under the shade of trees and watched silently as Spencer Burley and Jaden Ford strolled beside the lake.
Adrian Wright found himself a fishing rod from who-knows-where and sat eagerly by the small lake, fishing.
âMy brother must have caused you a lot of trouble, right?â
âNot at all, he has actually been a great help.â
Louisa Burley covered her mouth with a smile and said, âThat guy Spencer, heâs only good at stirring up trouble, not much for helping.â
âHaha.â
Greg Jensen didnât know how to respond and simply laughed.
For some reason, sitting beside Louisa Burley and looking at the clear lake, his heart felt incredibly tranquil.
Since he didnât know Louisa very well, he wasnât sure what to say and just sat in silence.
Louisa Burley leaned on the highly sun-protective black umbrella, gazing at Spencer and Jaden strolling by the lake, and said softly,
âSince I fell ill, I havenât been out during the day for a long time; I really have to thank Mr. Jensen for this.â
âItâs nothing, just lending a hand.â
Greg Jensen smiled and said, âIt wonât be long before you can live like a healthy person.â
âReally?â
âOf course.â
Greg Jensen subconsciously turned his head, but his gaze met those water-like eyes.
The two were startled, looking at each other for a while until Louisa flushed and quickly turned away.
Greg Jensen laughed awkwardly and turned to look at the lake.
The air was silent again.
A gentle breeze brought a lingering fragrance of orchids mixed with the fresh scent of grass, invigorating Greg Jensen.
He hesitated for a moment, about to start a conversation when he suddenly saw Louisa Burley falling to the side.
Quick as a flash, Greg Jensen reached out to catch her.
Louisa Burley fell into his arms, opening her eyes in a daze only to find herself lying in Gregâs embrace, her face turning red.
Struggling to get up, but unable to, she apologized softly, âMr. Jensen, Iâm sorry, I⦠I fainted again.â
âDonât worry about it.â
Greg Jensen felt awkward too and quickly helped her to sit up.
Louisa Burley took a breath and glanced at the lake, saying regretfully, âSuch a shame, out for just such a short while.â
Moved by impulse, Greg Jensen placed his hand on her back and started to channel the True Qi inside his body, gently transferring it to her.
