No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 150

Instinctively, I stepped back, but as I retreated, he advanced, pressing on, "What, going on more blind dates? Or perhaps asking a brother or a friend?"

I could almost taste the jealousy.

Huh?

I was speechless. Was he implying I was the one with a wild imagination?
