The woman on a blind date with Owen Lennon looked only about twenty-five or six, dressed elegantly and appropriately, giving off a feeling of dignity and kindness.
When Owen walked over with his arm around Rosalind’s shoulders, the woman stood up calmly and pressed her lips together while looking at them.
Owen said, "Miss Hui, I apologize for being late."
"It’s okay, after all, it’s just a boring blind date. Whether it ends sooner or later doesn’t really matter."
Hearing her say that, Owen laughed and nudged Rosalind to sit down, causing Rosalind to feel a bit embarrassed and nod at the woman.
The woman also tactfully nodded back and pressed her lips together.
"Miss Hui, the reason I’m late today is that I just went to pick up my girlfriend.
I wanted to clarify things with you; my girlfriend and I have known each other for over ten years.
Although we haven’t married yet, our feelings are very stable.
I heard about your situation from the introducer, and I know you are an understanding and nice girl.
So I’m sure you can understand how I feel right now.
I truly love my girlfriend, and my feelings have never wavered.
It’s a bit abrupt to co for a blind date today, which indeed might hurt your self-esteem, but please forgive my thoughtlessness."
The woman smiled gently and nodded, "I understand, Mr. Lawyer ca today to speak the truth, so I have no reason to be upset."
Owen calmly handed over a business card: "Please take this card, Miss Hui. If you ever need my help in the future, just give a call, and I will do my utmost to assist."
Miss Hui nodded, shifting her gaze to Rosalind, "Your girlfriend is quite beautiful, you make a great couple. I wish you a long and happy marriage with early children."
"I also wish you, Miss Hui, to find a loved one soon and happiness for a lifeti."
Miss Hui stood up, "Then I won’t disturb your date. I’ll go ho and tell my parents that I think we’re not a good match."
"Sa here, I won’t see you off then, take care, Miss Hui."
After Miss Hui left, Rosalind, who hadn’t spoken all along, asked sowhat confusedly, "I think Miss Hui is quite nice and elegant, why did you treat her like that?"
"Or what? Do you think I should be with a woman I don’t love?
Just because she looks nice and is elegant?
For those good won, I naturally should give them due respect.
And my way of respecting them is not to be together with them just because I don’t love them."
Rosalind looked at him with a bit of admiration, yes, he indeed was such a good man, he always was.
Back then, she fell for him because she thought he was very responsible.
"I just think this opportunity is quite good, Miss Hui is so pretty, even looking at her makes my heart flutter. Won’t you regret it later?"
"I’ve done many regretful things in my life, but this won’t be one of them."
He said while signaling a waiter to order two steaks.
Rosalind asked, "We’re still eating here?"
"The job’s been done, I can’t let you leave empty-handed, at least I should feed you."
Rosalind couldn’t help but laugh, "Then I really hit the jackpot today, I got to wear a beautiful dress and enjoy a fine al for free."
"If you want, you can co and eat regularly," he said casually.
Rosalind shook her head speechlessly, "With my salary, I should honestly stick to the noodle shop in front of the police station."
Hearing this, Owen laughed, causing Rosalind to pout, "Are you mocking ?"
"No, I’m laughing at your honesty, you could also let treat you."
"That’s not appropriate, we aren’t anything to each other right now."
"Aren’t we?" Owen looked serious, "I just said, you’re my girlfriend."
Rosalind blushed, "Mr. Lawyer, the play seems to be over."
Owen remained calm, "Who says a play that ends must be truly over?"
Hearing this, Rosalind was really baffled, wasn’t there a deeper aning here?
When the steaks arrived, Owen cut his own and placed it in front of her.
Then he took hers and began cutting it again. Watching him focus on cutting the steak, Rosalind’s heart raced.
To prevent him from noticing her faux pas, she quickly lowered her head and began eating the steak.
Rosalind truly felt that Owen was toxic, the kind of addictive toxin.
After dinner, Owen took Rosalind ho.
At the doorstep, Rosalind seed to have thought of sothing, "Oh right, wait here for a mont, I’ll go upstairs to take off the dress and return it to you."
"If you want to take it off, do it here in front of ."
"Are you crazy," she glared at him.
"If not, just honestly wear it back. Why would I keep a woman’s dress at ho for no reason?"
Rosalind bit her lip, "But such an expensive dress, I can’t just leave it at my house like that, it’s not suitable."
"What’s unsuitable? Consider it your paynt for helping today."
"But I helped you to return a favor, the dress is yours, I have no reason to take it."
She was very firm in her resolution not to accept this dress.
And honestly, such a beautiful piece just sitting in her wardrobe would be a waste, especially since it’s so expensive.
"I told you, if you don’t want it, then take it off in front of . How do I know you won’t secretly swap it with a defective one at ho."
Emotions flaring, Rosalind pointed at Owen: "You truly are a nutcase, fine, I won’t return it to you, but don’t regret it in the future, oh wait, there’s no place to buy regret dicine."
With that, she huffed and quickly headed upstairs.
Owen raised an eyebrow, leaned casually against the car, and said, "I was sincere about what I said tonight, think about it carefully."
"What words?" She looked back at him, her tone not very kind.
Owen’s expression remained calm, "I said you’re my girlfriend, and I never changed my mind about it."
She paused, staring at him, a bit dazed, "What did you say?
"Haven’t I told you tonight, I’ve done many things I regret in this life, and do you know what’s the most regretful thing for ?"
She swallowed and said nothing, just quietly watched him.
Standing under the street lamp, he looked at her with an unrestrained smile, "The thing I regret the most in this life was when you asked for a breakup, and I didn’t object."
Duang..., Rosalind seed to hear the sound of a bell, the bell of spring ringing.
