Chapter 975: No Interest
After handing the cake to her father, she said, “It’s my birthday today, hurry and have some cake.”
Otis knew his daughter’s thoughts and sighed, “Just want to shut my mouth.”
Verda nestled on her father’s shoulder, spoiled and grown up.
Both parents doted on her, and she could get away with anything in front of them by acting spoiled.
However, today she underestimated her parents’ determination to see her married soon. After finishing the cake, Verda went upstairs. Feeling dizzy, she lied down on the bed without even taking a shower.
Hannah asked the servant to clean up the table and said to her husband, “Call Alf and ask if Verda really didn’t drive away the blind date partner.”
Otis said, “Are we pushing her too hard?”
Hannah looked at Otis, “What else can we do? Your health can’t wait.”
Otis’ emotions dimmed in an instant as he picked up his phone and returned to his room.
Hannah followed and closed the door.
Otis sat on the edge of the bed and dialed Alf’s number.
Soon, Alf answered the phone.
“Alf, I have something to ask you. The person you introduced to Verda, how is he? Today Verda told me that she didn’t drive him away, and he was also the one who brought her back last night. Is that true or not?”
Alf said, “I don’t know.”
He really didn’t know if it was Xander who brought Verda.
Given Verda’s personality, he thought it was unlikely.
“Tell me about the conditions of that blind date partner. You said the conditions were good, how good are they?” Otis inquired.
“Put it on speaker.” Hannah whispered to Otis’ ear.
Otis put it on speaker.
Alf’s voice came through, “He is currently working at Skyline Co. group, as Elijah’s capable subordinate. His abilities are unquestionable.”
Alf knew their intentions and wouldn’t make random introductions. He also thought Xander’s conditions were suitable.
Verda’s family lacked a capable man. Finding a match for Verda was also finding an heir for Verda’s family. Without a son, only Verda as their daughter, they had no choice but to resort to this.
“Skyline Co. group? I haven’t heard of it in China,” Otis said.
“Wasn’t it formerly Tianju, relocated to F country?”
“Ah, I remember now.” With Alf’s reminder, he recalled, “The one you introduced, is he the assistant beside Elijah?”
Before Elijah moved to F country, he was well-known in the business world in China. Otis was no exception.
He even fantasized about his daughter marrying Elijah.
He woke up smiling that day.
But he could only fantasize.
He had also heard of the assistant beside Elijah, who was very capable, earned Elijah’s trust, and was his right-hand man.
He couldn’t marry his daughter to Elijah, but marrying her to his assistant would be fine. In addition, this assistant was more suitable.
With Verda’s family’s wealth, they could insist on having a child retain the Verda’s surname to avoid the family line from ending.
“I’ve tried my best to make the introduction. Whether it succeeds or not depends on her fate,” Alf said.
Otis said, “I understand. I’ll talk to her.”
“Uncle, do you think she’s useful? She’s so willful, isn’t that your indulgence?”
Otis knew he had failed to educate his daughter properly, making her unsensible. It was too late for regrets.
She had grown up spoiled. How could her temperament be changed? Moreover, he couldn’t bear to see his daughter wronged.
“Well, it’s like this now. We can only find a good son-in-law to make up for past mistakes. You must help her catch this blind date partner,” Alf said.
“I heard he’s going back to F country. There might not be a chance with Verda,” Alf continued.
“Try to keep him?”
“I’m not very familiar with him. We were introduced by friends.”
“I’ll leave you an address, I’ll find him myself.”
Alf widened his eyes. This was a bit excessive.
“I’ll ask them first.” Alf couldn’t directly refuse.
The call ended, and Alf immediately called Verda, telling her that if she didn’t find a partner soon, her parents would take action, making her passive. However, despite calling multiple times, she ignored the calls as she slept soundly.
In the early morning, around six o’clock, Verda’s door was pushed open. Hannah called out to her daughter, “Wake up, Verda.”
“Hmm…” Verda turned over, groggily opening her eyes, “What’s the matter?”
“Get up quickly. Didn’t you say Xander is leaving for F country today? Go see him.”
Verda was shocked, they even found out about the blind date partner’s name?
Otis had researched Xander’s information overnight and was even more satisfied.
Now he was determined for his daughter to marry Xander.
Hannah was taken aback, “Oh, isn’t that what your cousin said?”
Verda nodded.
Hannah urged her, “Hurry and take a shower, put on something nice.”
Verda pushed her mother, “Leave quickly, I’ll take a shower.”
“Then hurry up. I’ll wait at the door, don’t think about escaping,” Hannah replied.
“I know.” Verda grabbed her phone, held it in her hand, and climbed out of bed to the bathroom, closing and locking the door behind her.
She immediately called Alf.
Alf was still asleep and answered the phone in a daze.
It was Verda on the line.
Alf said, “I tried to call you last night, but you didn’t answer.”
“I drank too much and fell asleep. Did you tell my parents about Xander?”
“They asked me, I had no choice. You have to be prepared, they seem very satisfied with Xander.”
Verda sat on the edge of the bathtub.
“How much do they know? How do they even know about him leaving for F country? Am I that unwanted? Why are they rushing to find me a man?”
“You also have to understand your uncle and aunt. You’re their only daughter. They want to find a good man for you, to take care of you and the family, right?”
Verda had no response. She looked at her fingernails, feeling conflicted. She liked Xander, but she also felt that he was not interested in her. She didn’t want to cling onto someone who wasn’t interested, causing unnecessary trouble.
But her parents…
They were really giving her a headache.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Knock knock-
A series of knocks at the door followed by Hannah’s voice, “Verda, hurry up and wash up. Your father found out that Xander’s flight is in the morning at 8 a. m. You have to catch him.”
Verda was shocked. They even found out about his flight itinerary? Did this mean no one wanted her anymore? She felt a headache coming on even stronger.
