Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 65

Juana Landor dragged Sherri into Lovers’ Cafe.

Juana said anxiously when she saw her daughter dawdling, “Hurry up and come in. Stop dilly-dallying!”

Sherri quickly texted Natalie while Juana looked for the reserved private room in the cafe. “Don’t worry about your overseas application form, Natalie, Hurry up and save me. If you’re late, my mother will apply for me to leave the house.”

When they arrived at the reserved private room on the second floor and opened the door, Sherri was so shocked she almost went berserk on the spot.

The man inside was also in disbelief, but soon, a playful smile appeared. A half-smile flickered over Hackett Blackwell’s face when he looked at Sherri, who wanted to escape.

He wore a black double-sided overcoat with a beige turtleneck inside; his glasses added a touch of elegance to his looks.

However, Hackett’s outfit did not compliment his face at all.

In fact, it was a complete mismatch,

Juana grabbed Sherri’s hand and pulled her inside. “Hello, Mrs. Blackwell, I’m really sorry we are late. I was held up in traffic on my way here.”

Juana tried to leave a good impression on Joy Blackwell and did not disclose that Sherri slept late.

Juana then forced her daughter to sit on the sofa. Hackett looked at Sherri provocatively from across.

He winked at Sherri. Their mothers were busy chatting and did not notice the undercurrent going on in the room.

Sherri rolled her eyes at him as if she was looking at an idiot.

Joy smiled and said, “So, this is Sherri. She’s a pretty girl!”

Juana put on a pretentious smile and said humbly, “Don’t praise her. She only cares about working in the hospital all day long. I’m worried about her. So, this is Mr. Blackwell. He’s so handsome!”

Sherri realized it was a matchmaking meeting with Hackett. Athana was a large city; how did she end up being matched to this scumbag? Sherri could not figure it out in her head.

What an ill-fated relationship!

Hackett greeted Juana politely, “Hello, Auntie. You can call me Hackett.”

Juana was satisfied with Hackett’s looks and manners as her potential son-in-law. “This boy is really polite. Mrs. Blackwell, you taught him well. There must be many girls after him!”

Joy Blackwell smiled shyly. “No way. They’re all not up to par. I hope he can find a good girl as his wife.”

She glanced at Sherri knowingly.
