Love Unspoken

Chapter 1457

Quinn's mouth twitched a bit.

Abigail yanked Quinn closer, almost smushing Quinn's head against her chest.

"Of course she's married. Mr. Kingsley, aren't you here for a date with me? Why are you asking about her?" Abigail shot back.

Yosef let out an awkward chuckle. "Your friends are my friends too. It's good to get to know each other."

Abigail raised an eyebrow. "Then why are you here for a blind date?"

Yosef sighed. "My family's been on my case, and I bet yours is too. So, what are you looking for in a partner?"

They'd both done their homework before meeting. Mr. Kingsley's family wasn't super rich or anything, just middle of the road. He was the middle kid with two married brothers, and he was still single. The reason? His profile said he just hadn't found the right one.

Abigail, on the other hand, was a looker and in great shape. Rumor had it she liked women, which was why she wasn't hitched.

Yosef hadn't bought into the gossip, but seeing them hug made him think twice.

Abigail said, "My terms are simple. We can get married, but we won't live together, and you stay out of my business. We'll just get the marriage certificate and go our separate ways. Can you deal with that, Mr. Kingsley?" Before she even finished, Yosef's face darkened.

He was quiet for a bit before saying, "Ms. Vanderbilt, I can't agree to that. We're not getting any younger. If we don't settle down soon, life will pass us by."

Abigail shrugged. "Those are my terms. Think it over, Mr. Kingsley, and hit me up if you change your mind."

Yosef forced a smile, clearly over the whole date. He stood up and said, "I don't think we're a match. Sorry, Ms. Vanderbilt, I'm out."

Abigail waved him off.
