I Want a Divorce by Abigail Quinn

Chapter 21

Oliver nodded and said, “So, how much is it? I’ll pay for it.”

The girl was stunned and asked in surprise, “What do you mean?”

“Didn’t my sister buy something from you? How much is it? As long as she likes it, I’ll pay. So, do you prefer an online transfer or cash?” Oliver asked her in puzzlement.

The girl was dumbfounded. Suddenly, she stared at him with a fake smile.

Oliver fidgeted uneasily under her stare. He then stammered, “W-What did my sister buy from you?”

Without heeding her image, the girl stretched and replied, “I didn’t know if your sister has bought anything, but I was introduced to a blind date by my classmate, Joanna. My parents were afraid that I was going to end up unmarriageable, and they heard from Joanna that her brother was kind and handsome with a monthly income of more than 20,000 dollars. When my parents heard about such good prospects, they insisted that I attend the blind date. Since you didn’t know about the blind date, it would be great! I have never been interested to be in a relationship: I’m here mainly because my parents forced me to be here.”

Oliver didn’t know if he wanted to laugh or cry.

He knew that his sister was worried about him. However, Oliver had just started to make money. Moreover, their father was ill. He couldn’t believe she still had the heart to arrange a blind date for him with another young lady.

If Oliver had to be honest, the girl before him was not an average beauty. She was most definitely top-notch. Oliver couldn’t understand why her parents were worried about such a beautiful and outstanding daughter.

They even tried to force her to be in a relationship through a blind date.

However, since she had made everything clear, Oliver got relieved. He shrugged and said with a smile,

“Okay, I don’t like blind dates either. Besides, my family’s situation isn’t great. My father is seriously ill and is hospitalized. My parents are street vendors, so our family is not wealthy. If you know our situation, you won’t bother to attend this blind date, which is the best. But I just got off work and am hungry. Would you mind if I treat you to a meal?”

“Okay, I’m hungry too. Let’s split the bill and go back after eating,” agreed the girl.

After they were seated, they browsed through the menu.
