Chapter 252 Blind Date âThey are cheap.â Deirdre was at a loss for words. She felt as if she was choking on something in her throat. âYouâre only going to degrade your status when you wear them.â
âThat is precisely why you refused to give them to me, right?â
Deirdre bit her lower lip tightly. Brendan got up from his seat and wiped away Deirdreâs tears with his hand. He leaned closer to her and said in a hoarse voice,â Deirdre, a person of my status would never care about false things like this. The value of the cufflinks could never affect my status. I acknowledge that I wouldnât be attracted to these cufflinks normally, but they are highly valuable now because you gave them to me.â
When he was done, he kissed her lips.
Both of them were burning with emotions. Deirdreâs hands were tightly clasped, her body was tense, and she felt a wisp of gentle affection in her heart.
In the next few days, Deirdre became more and more familiar with the work at the restaurant and she also formed a friendly relationship with the staff members. The cleaning lady grabbed Deirdreâs hand enthusiastically when she came out of the washroom.
âOh, Deirdre. Youâre not so young anymore, so why arenât you trying to get married yet? Arenât you afraid that you will be left all alone when youâre older?â
Deirdre appeared embarrassed. She could not bring herself to declare that she was married, so she hesitated for a long time before she said, âIâm not looking into marriage yet.â
âWhy arenât you? To be frank, itâs already very difficult for you to settle down given. your current condition. Why arenât you seeking a suitable partner for yourself while youâre still young? Could it be that you want to wait until youâre old before you search for a partner?â The cleaning lady stopped beating about the bush at this point and said, âMy neighborâs son is a little over 30 years old and he is about seven or eight years older than you. However, he is a rather outstanding person and he works as a mechanic at the car garage. He is an honest man, heâs just not so good-looking. But youâre blind, so you donât need to care about that. Why donât I arrange for you two to meet each other tonight?â
Before Deirdre could respond, a waitress heard the conversation and moved closer to them with a bright smile on her face. âItâs really kind of you that you want to set Deirdre up with a marriage prospect because you know that she wonât be able to get herself a man given her condition.â
âIndeed. I only considered introducing my neighborâs son to Deirdre after seeing how well-mannered and hardworking she is. I wouldnât care if she was just an ordinary person!â
Deirdreâs expression was solemn. The cleaning lady was holding her hand so enthusiastically that she refused to let Deirdre go. She could not escape, so she could only whisper, âThank you, but Iâm not lookingâ¦â
âDeirdre, just accept the ladyâs painstaking effort. Sheâs only trying to set up a good marriage.â The waitress was quick-witted and said, âJust meet him and you can. decide later if you find him unsuitable.â
Deirdre accepted the cleaning ladyâs enthusiastic offer rashly because she did not manage to say no to the cleaning lady. However, she had not expected that the cleaning lady would send that person her way the same night.
She was taking a break when the cleaning lady urged her by saying, âJust talk to him. around the corner first, alright? Thereâs still time until your next performance. Take this time to get to know each other first.â
The man was quite chivalrous as he asked Deirdre, âWould that be alright? I can take a seat and wait for you if youâre busy.â
Deirdre agreed so she could get it over with earlier. âLetâs take a seat.â
Both of them had just arrived at the corner when Brendan walked into the restaurant. He saw the piano on the side, yet no one was sitting there. He asked while he placed a food order; âI thought there was a newly-hired pianist at the restaurant? Where is the pianist?â
The waitress was astonished by Brendanâs outstanding appearance, feeling envious of Deirdre in her heart. âDeirdre is just a hideous blind woman, yet even the manager has been praising her incessantly.â
