Not hearing an answer from Reene, Ysabel chided again, “You d*mn girl! I’ll make sure you live in a living hell if you don’t attend the blind date with Mr. Kean!”

With a sigh, Reene said helplessly, “Got it, Mom. I’ll go.”

What else could she do when she was no match for that shrew?

“See, it wasn’t so hard to say yes, was it?” That woman’s attitude did a one-eighty faster than Kingsley could pull a trigger. “11:30AM, VIP Room 6, Floor 60 of Ramada Hotel. Don’t be late, alright?”

“Got it.”

After hanging up, Reene rubbed her temples, resigned. “Guess I can’t get away today.”

“Reene, why don’t I clip him for you?” Serena suggested while skillfully fiddling with a table knife.

“Don’t even think about it.”

With that, Reene stood up, announcing, “I’ve promised Cecilia to go ring shopping with her in the morning. After that, I’ll go straight to Ramada Hotel. Kingsley, why don’t you come with me?”

She wasn’t comfortable leaving Kingsley alone at home, for she was afraid of losing him again when they had lost him once.

Now that he had finally come home, she worried he would suddenly leave without a word again.

“Fine by me!” Kingsley downed a full glass of milk in one shot. “But who’s Cecilia? Is she beautiful?”

“She’s Reene’s bestie.” Serena shot him a side-eye. “She’s known to be one of the Five Beauties of Cleapolis. But she’s already engaged. So you’ve got no chance even if you’re the hottest man alive.”

“Five Beauties?” Kingsley grinned. “I thought the prettiest women in Cleapolis were my seven sisters?”
