His questions were almost all-encompa**ing. It included everything from her age, family, occupation, and education, which was followed by her university, high school, junior high school, primary school, and so on. Finally, he even asked for her grades in primary school.
Lina Sweeney could not help but sigh. ‘Do they ask so much on blind dates nowadays?”
“Have you ever been in a relationship, Miss Sweeney?” Carl
Motley asked again.
“Well. Excuse me, Mr. Motley, I…”
Before she could finish, Carl Motley went on saying, “I don’t like my girlfriend to have had too many boyfriends before, Miss. Sweeney. I also don’t want her to have a lot of experience in that field, so I hope you can be honest with me. That way we can avoid any misunderstandings in the future.”
Lina Sweeney was dumbfounded. This… This guy was a little too straightforward. They had just met for the first time. Even if she did not know much about blind dates, at least she knew this was not the right question to ask now.
A lot of experience in that field… Uh, what field was that?
“Well… I think we’ve got a bit of a misunderstanding here…” Lina
Sweeney felt that even if she was planning to find a partner through blind dates, she would never feel anything for Mr. Motley who was now right in front of her. They obviously were not on the same page when it came to personal values.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang, interrupting what she was going to say next.
“Well then, I’d like to hear what’s the misunderstanding between. you and this gentleman.”
Lina Sweeney shivered immediately. It was… Hadwin Stephenson!
She turned around instantly. Sure enough, a familiar figure caught her eye. His face was so beautiful that she, someone who was appearance-obsessed, could not help but notice him. Who else. would it be if not Hadwin Stephenson?
“Why… Why are you here?” Lina Sweeney said dumbfounded.
“Did you choose to be here with another man because you thought I wouldn’t be here?” Hadwin Stephenson asked rhetorically.
Lina Sweeney felt as if there was a burst of thunder hitting her forehead. It hurt badly.
She rarely went on blind dates, and the one time she did, she was caught by Hadwin Stephenson. Was God trying to kill her?
“Who is he, Miss Sweeney?” asked Carl Motley.
“Yes, tell him. Who am I?” Hadwin Stephenson said as he looked at Lina Sweeney.
All of a sudden, both men were looking at her. Lina Sweeney felt as if she was about to be badly pricked by the two men’s gazes.
One was the blind date her mother snatched while the other one was her newly appointed boyfriend who came to collect her debt. She could not afford to offend either of them!
However, after comparing the two, she would choose the one with lesser damage. Compared to her mother who was behind the man, Lina Sweeney still felt that Hadwin Stephenson could not be offended, so she smiled rather lamely and said to Carl Motley, “I almost forgot, Mr. Motley. This is my boyfriend. Uh, his last name is Stephenson.”
With that, Carl Motley’s face immediately took on a ghastly expression. “Boyfriend? You have a boyfriend?”
“Yes… Yes, I do…” Lina Sweeney answered him guiltily. No matter how strange Carl Motley was before, in this case, she was at fault.
Carl Motley was shaking with anger. His face was red when he shouted at Lina Sweeney, “I was kind enough to go on a blind date with you, but you already have a boyfriend. You’ve gone too far. You must give me an explanation. How dare you make a fool of me!”
Carl Motley shouted and stepped forward to grab Lina Sweeney’s collar.
Before Lina Sweeney could avoid him, someone’s hand had already stopped Carl Motley.
“Who said you could touch her?” Hadwin Stephenson said coldly.
“What, do you want to fight me?” Carl Motley asked angrily. “You’d better watch out with a woman like her. Since she went on a blind date with me behind your back today, who knows if she’ll be sleeping behind your back tomorrow? She might look obedient, but who knows what happens behind the scenes. Maybe she has some shady business going on…”
Lina Sweeney rolled up her sleeves and wanted to hit him as he was crossing the line. The next moment, there was a loud smack.
Lina Sweeney stared at Hadwin Stephenson who was shaking his hand… He hit the man before she did.
“Did you just… hit me?” Carl Motley glared at Hadwin Stephenson.
“Believe it or not, if you say one more word about her, I can. a**ure you there won’t be a tooth left in your mouth,” Hadwin. Stephenson said coldly.
Carl Motley trembled and suddenly felt fear from the bottom of his heart.
He subconsciously wanted to fight back. He opened his mouth. to say more, but his voice seemed to be stuck in his throat. even though his mouth was open. The words could not get out no matter what.
Hadwin Stephenson’s face darkened, and he immediately pulled Lina Sweeney away.
Lina Sweeney was still a little confused and followed him in a daze. However, Hadwin Stephenson’s pace got faster and faster. She almost had to jog to keep up with him.
“Slow… Slow down,” she said. She would have stopped if he had not taken her hand.
Hadwin Stephenson suddenly stopped in his tracks and Lina Sweeney immediately hit him on the back.
Ouch! She held her nose as if she had just hit an iron plate.
“At least give me a hint before stopping,” she muttered.
“A hint?” Hadwin Stephenson suddenly sneered and turned to stare at the woman in front of him. “Then you should give me a hint. Why go on blind dates when you have a boyfriend? Are you used to cheating?”
Lina Sweeney was almost choked by his words. Cheating? What the hell! She had not cheated!
However, in the presence of Hadwin Stephenson, she thought for a while and explained, “Well… My mother forced me to go on a blind date. She would disown me if I didn’t. I tried to tell him that I have a boyfriend, but he interrupted me.”
She was not lying.
“Your mother forced you to go on the blind date?” he asked as he raised his eyebrows.
“Yes, yes!” She smiled lamely. In short, her mother was extremely aggressive in forcing her to go on blind dates. She was the type who would be tortured to bits.
“You didn’t tell your family that you have a boyfriend?” he asked with a dangerous gleam in his eyes.
Lina Sweeney was suddenly guilty. Tell her mom and dad? How was she supposed to tell them? Hadwin Stephenson’s identity alone would probably frighten her mom and dad, especially when… she and Hadwin Stephenson were inconclusive. They were just going through the motions.
“We started dating so suddenly, and it would probably my parents if I told them I have a boyfriend all of a sudden. I’m thinking of finding the right opportunity to talk to them later.” Lina Sweeney tried hard to defend herself even though she had no intention to tell them at all.
“Will you tell them?” Hadwin Stephenson narrowed his black eyes.
“I promise.” She quickly put on an expression as if she would be struck by lightning if she lied. All that was left was to raise her hand and swear.
“All right. If you ever go on a blind date again, you’re dead, Lina Sweeney,” he said as he nodded.
“…” Was that a threat? However, thinking of her situation now, she could only laugh dryly. “It will never happen again.”
She could not help but complain to herself. ‘Even if I’m just a girlfriend who’s going through the motions, I seem a little too cowardly!
