Chapter 133

Chapter 133 After Theo left, Natalie figured it out and didn’t dwell on it anymore. She glanced at the bouquet of yellow roses and wondered how she should deal with it. If she sent it back, it would be akin to telling others who gave the flowers to her.

Forget it. She would leave it in the office.

She rotated her neck, stretched, and recomposed herself. Then, she picked up her phone and saw that it was already four o’clock. It would be time to get off work soon.

When Hackett returned home, Joy looked at his son’s injured face and was a little puzzled, but at the same time, she was very worried. She frowned and asked, “Son, are you alright? Will the injury leave a scar? Have you seen a doctor?” Joy was not surprised that his son left the hospital today.

Hackett didn’t think much of it. His wounds that needed to be disinfected had already been disinfected, so they shouldn’t leave a scar. Moreover, the injury was a small one. It won’t leave a scar. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine in a few days.”

Joy heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good, that’s good. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to go on a blind date in a few days.”

Hackett was eating cherry tomatoes, and he stopped upon hearing his mother. The cherry tomato that was stuffed into his mouth was swallowed without much chewing. “Mom, you didn’t arrange another blind date for me, did you?”

Joy was in a particularly good mood and she inched closer to her son. “Son, listen up. Your blind date this time is a salesperson, but don’t look down on other people’s jobs. I told you before that there are high and low-ranking positions, but you can’t look down on anyone. Everyone is working hard.

Of course, there are some exceptions. You can still choose who you like. I don’t mind”

Joy continued, “Let me tell you, this young lady is especially good-looking and passionate. I went to buy a necklace yesterday. She’s super enthusiastic and very patient. Why don’t you go and meet her? If you don’t think she’s suitable for you, you can be friends. You’re already 29”

“Mom, are you really planning to arrange a blind date for me every time you see a girl? She’s a salesperson. How can she not be attentive and serious when she meets a rich person like you? She’s just doing her job. I bet she’s also nice to other customers. She’s doing it for the money”

Hackett was a little devastated. His mother had casually introduced him to someone because she felt that he was too old. He suddenly had an idea and lied, “I have a girlfriend.”

After telling this lie, he felt that it was quite appropriate. Firstly, he could openly woo Sherri and wait for her to fall in love with him before telling her that they were not compatible. It was normal for men and women to break up. His plan was perfect, and he felt much better now. He could use Sherri as a shield to stop his mother from arranging blind dates for him as well.

Joy stood up excitedly. “What did you say? Do you have a girlfriend? When did this happen? Did you meet her at the hospital?”

Hackett made up a story on the spot. “Sort of She’s the one who scratched my face. It’s just that she’s a little fierce.” Joy glanced at his son’s face and could not help but frown. The woman he was talking about seemed to be quite fierce, but Joy quickly regained her composure and leaned toward her son. “Tell me who it is.”

Hackett said without blushing, “Sherri Landor, the young mistress of the Landor family. You like her, right?”

Hearing this, Joy was overjoyed. “Really? That’s great. She’s a little fierce, but she’s beautiful. You’re awesome. I’ll call your future mother-in-law now.

Good luck With that, Joy went upstairs like a gust of wind.

Hackett was in a good mood. He lay on the sofa and crossed his legs. He then scooped up a handful of tomatoes and stuffed them into his mouth one by one. “Sherri, see if I don’t torture you to death. You’ll suffer for offending me.” He didn’t believe that she wouldn’t fall in love with him.

At this moment, Joy walked into her room and called Juana. Her tone was filled with excitement as she said, “Hello, in-law.” Her words shocked Juana. “Mrs. Blackwell, what are you saying?”

Joy realized that she had frightened the other party by calling her that. She began to explain, “Oh, look at me. I was too excited. My son said that Sherri is his girlfriend. I’m so happy. We haven’t seen each other in a long time. Let’s meet up in the afternoon to talk”

Ever since the blind date between Sherri and Hackett, Juana and Joy did not see each other in private. They did send messages and call each other, but they usually just talked about their children.

Juana was currently drawing with Ruby. She was so shocked by this sudden news that she could not react in time. Didn’t her daughter hate Hackett?

Why did they get together silently and even hid it from her? “Mrs. Blackwell, are you sure you’re not mistaken! Sherri didn’t tell me about this.”

Joy thought that girls were shy. “Oh Mrs. Landor, since Sherri didn’t tell you, we’ll pretend not to know and let them get along with each other.

Anyway, I like Sherri very much. Not only is she beautiful, but she’s also especially kind. Last time, when my son was injured in the hospital, she even patiently comforted me. The more I look at her, the more I like her. Mrs.

Landor, don’t worry about this. If Sherri really marries into the Blackwell family, I’ll definitely love her like my own and stand by her.”

Joy was afraid that Juana would have some concerns, so she hurriedly voiced her thoughts. After all, her son’s reputation was not very good. Hackett was already 29, so she was really anxious.

Juana didn’t know what to say, but she was happy in her heart. After all, she liked Hackett very much too. Not only was he handsome, but she also felt like a mother-in-law who found her son-in-law more and more pleasing to the eye. Sherri might be afraid that it would be awkward if they broke up, so Sherri didn’t tell her yet. “Mrs. Blackwell, don’t be anxious. Let’s see how they get along. Sherri’s temper isn’t very good either. Your son might not be able to withstand it.”

Joy thought about it. Sherri was quite impatient, but Joy wasn’t too bothered by it. “It’s fine. I don’t mind it. The Blackwell family wouldn’t mind a daughter-in-law that was fierce. As long as my son meets your criteria, it’s fine. In the future, call me by my name. Don’t call me Mrs. Blackwell. It’s too formal, so call me Joy.”

Juana wasn’t an awkward person and readily said, “Sounds good. You can call me Juana too.”

The two of them chatted for a while and agreed to go to Lovers’ Cafe tomorrow to drink coffee in the afternoon.

The next day, at Lovers’ Cafe.

Joy asked her son to send her to her destination early in the morning, then chased her son away.

Because the café was in a quiet area, Juana asked the driver to send her over. She even brought Ruby with her. Now, if she didn’t bring Ruby with her when she went out, she wouldn’t be at ease.

Joy immediately saw Juana coming in and waved enthusiastically. “Juana, over here.”

Juana followed Joy’s voice and found her. Carrying Ruby in her arms, she walked to Joy. “I’m sorry for being late. The child woke up late.”

Joy’s gaze was fixed on Ruby’s face. She felt that Ruby looked like someone she knew at first glance. “Whose child is this. Juana? She looks so pretty.”

Juana smiled happily and placed Ruby on the couch. “She is rather pretty. I liked her the moment I saw her. Sigh, she’s the child of my daughter’s best friend. That girl’s background is quite pitiful. She brought up two children alone. They’re twins, you see. The children also call Sherri their godmother. It’s also because of fate that I met their mother and I like her, so I’m helping her to take care of Ruby. She’ll come and pick up the kids on weekends. The child is very close to me now. Ruby, say hi to Mrs. Blackwell.”

Ruby was chubby. She blinked her round eyes and parted her small mouth to speak. “Hi, Mrs. Blackwell,” Ruby called out in a childish voice and was especially cute. Joy’s heart melted and the smile on her face kept getting wider.

“This child is lovely. How is she so pretty? Little cutie, what do you want to eat? I’ll order it for you.”

Ruby looked around as she thought about it seriously. “Cakes.”

Ruby understood what she was saying. She raised her head and looked at Juana to ask permission. “If you like Mrs. Blackwell, you can let her hug you. It’s okay.”

After getting permission, Joy happily sat beside Juana. Joy then put Ruby on her lap and fed her cakes. She thought about how good it would be if she had such a granddaughter. Ruby was really cute.

The two of them chatted for the entire afternoon. Before Juana got into the car, Joy didn’t forget to remind her, “If we go out for coffee next time and Ruby is with you, you can bring her with you. I’ll help take care of her. She’s really cute. I have never seen a kid as pretty as she is.”

“Alright. Her parent picks her up on weekends. If she’s with me, I’ll bring her along. She’s very easy to take care of. She’s also very obedient when we go out.”
