Mister Den ck responded to all of Mrs. Zouch''s chattering with great patience. Kaylee wanted to roll her eyeszily because, ording to her, her mother''s question to Den was an ''investigation'' to find out whether this man was worthy of being her son-inw or not.
Kaylee stared intently at Den without making both her mom and the man noticed her.
Den ck was indeed a handsome man with brown hair neatlybed backward and a firm nose that showed his inevitable dignity. His sharp jaw and intelligent eyes made everyone feel nothing but respect and honor for him.
But, no matter how handsome the man was, Kaylee still had no interest in him. She once heard from... whoever that person''s name is, that love woulde unnoticed, and she could feel it when she met the one.
However, she felt nothing toward the young mister ck. Surprisingly, she also felt that Den did not feel attracted to her making her feel relieved.
Even though she was an introverted girl, that doesn''t mean she knows nothing rted to romance. Generally, if a guy is attracted to a girl, he would try to talk and find out what the girl likes. She might as well tell the man would try to woo the girl, yet she did not know what kind of act the men would do to woo a girl.
As for Den… this man didn''t even try to speak to her. In fact, he didn''t even spare a nce at her to make Kaylee sure that this man wasn''t interested in her. Not that she minded. She never became a spotlight girl nor seek for audiences, anyway.
Despite the fact that both parties had no interest in each other, Mrs. Zouch apparently was much more interested in making Den ck her son-inw. She even seemed eager to tie the knot between the young duo.
Well, Kaylee could not read her mother''s mind nor wanting to know what had the older woman nned for her. She sipped her tea silently while listening to the things her mother had to talk about with Den.
"Mister ck, I heard recently that your mother is desperate to find you a wife. Isn''t there any girl who attracts you? How about my sweet daughter, Kaylee?"
Kaylee almost choked on her drink when her mother mentioned her name. Her face paled when she realized a pair of sharp ck eyes looked at her like an eagle preying on a mouse.
''Author, why did I meet such a scary character at the beginning of the chapter?''
Author: Some aliens prate my brain and can''t answer your question now.
Kaylee: * speechless *
Anyway, Kaylee put her teacup on the table to hide her trembling hands and turned her gaze towards her mother.
"Mother, please, don''t involve me," begged Kaylee in a very low voice but still heard by the two adults.
"Ah, she''s shy. But actually, she is a loveable kid, and not many dislike her. Almost everyone loved her and wanted to be her acquaintance. Isn''t that, darling?"
"..." what?? i''ve never heard about this!
[author: me neither]
"A lot of sessful young men chased her and asked her in marriage, but well, she hasn''t found the one."
Kaylee felt like covering her face with both hands. She felt ashamed and felt like she was a product while her mother was a broker promoting her.
Furthermore… since when had a man proposed to her?! As far as she could remember, no man ever asked her hand in marriage, and she was positively sure that she was not a loveable person.
''Mom, why are you telling lies to people who are visiting our home for the first time, ah?''
Kaylee couldn''t voice her protest because she knew her mother didn''t like to be argued. Kaylee just hung her head in shame and kept all her frustration.
"I came here because I''m tired of hearing my mother''s nagging. I heard that you are good friends with my mother, so you guys nned this arranged marriage."
Kaylee gripped her lower garment nervously at Den''s words, who didn''t want to beat around anymore.
"It is true. Your mother and I were schoolmates, and we aspire to marry off our two kids. Unfortunately, we were separated for years since I married my husband. Who would have thought when we met by chance three months ago, it turns out that your mother has a son and I have a daughter. What a perfect match, don''t you think?"
Mrs. Zouch spoke at length without stopping as if she didn''t need to breathe in her talking. "And what a coincidence, you two are both only children so that you can fit out each other. You are also both talented pianists. Ah, do you know, Kaylee often won the championship when she was still in school? I am very sure you will suit each other. I guess you guys are made for each other. Is not it?"
NOOOOOOOOOO!!! Only Kaylee could hear her desperate scream.
Kaylee wanted to dig a hole and hide her head in it. She didn''t know what kind of face to put on when Mister ck nced at her. She couldn''t even look up!
It looks like today is the worst day of all time.
>>>>> From author
Hello, my beloved readers. Thank you for reading my story, and wait for the next chapters so far patiently. It is a brand new, and actually, I''m quite clueless about what should I write next (I have other 3 ongoing novel at the moment, so my mind is prioritizing those 3)
If you like this story, please give me your opinion and perhaps give an idea of what kind of plot you want for Kaylee (well, I need your advice XD)
Don''t forget to give it a review and give a vote every day. It might motivate me to continue this story and publish it frequently.
Luckily, one of my ongoing novels will end soon, so I can focus on writing here in two weeks (I hope so)
Feel free to check up on my other works
1. My Only Love: The Targeted Heiress (ongoing)
2. The me Queen And Her Sly Lover (Almost end soon)
And if you like fantasy with different realms and magic on it, feel free to check out Elementalist: Time Controller (still ongoing)
Happy reading, and enjoy your weekend!
PS: Only for today and tomorrow, I will publish five chapters each day.. After that, going to focus on my going-end-soon novel first, then refocus on here.
