Chapter 555 Is She Having A Blind Date?
After finishing his work, Matthew took Tammy and Alicia to a nearby high-end restaurant. That restaurant was located on the top floor of a luxury hotel and served only VIP customers
When Alicia looked at the menu, she was shocked. She worried her savings would not be sufficient to cover the cost. From that moment on, she decided it was best not to act rich in front of wealthy people
As she sipped her drink, Tammy asked, “Matthew, how’s your preparation for the start of that racing competition going? It’s supposed to begin in two days, isn’t it?”
“Almost done. Would you like to come?”
“No. I’m not interested in it,” Tammy shook her head and replied
Then Alicia said, “I want to see the competition so bad, but the tickets were sold out as soon as they went on sale. Some scalpers even sell the tickets online at sky-high prices, but I still don’t get the chance to buy them.” Meanwhile, she pitied herself secretly, The race will feature several attractive professional racers. They participated in a variety show last year and got a lot of fans. As a result, many people wanted to see that race, and ticket prices became unusually high. If only I have that much money to buy the tickets!
“If you want to go, I’ll ask my secretary to get two tickets for you,” Matthew said
“Really?!” Alicia’s eyes sparkled with excitement
“No, thanks. I’m not going. I prefer to stay at home and play games,” Still sipping her drink, Tammy rejected Matthew without hesitation

“You can play games every day, but this race takes place only once a year!” Alicia persuaded Tammy while kicking her legs under the table secretly
“Since when did you become so interested in racing?” Kicking Alicia’s leg away, Tammy raised her brows in surprise and asked
“I’ve always had a fascination with racing.”
“Huh? You…” Tammy froze before she could finish what she was saying. Her gaze moved from Alicia to a short distance behind her. In the middle of the hall was a grand piano. Natalie was one of the two people sitting at a table by the window on the other side of the hall
Alicia followed her gaze into the distance, surprised, and asked, “Isn’t that Natalie? Who’s that sitting across from Natalie?”
“That’s Harry,” Matthew said
“Urgh! That guy! Really? But didn’t great-grandfather say that he didn’t allow Natalie to date him? Then what are they doing here?” Tammy stood up to see what Harry looked like. However, a large potted plant in the middle obscured her view. She could only see the side of his face
Sitting down, she added with a pout, “I heard Harry has a bad temper and even beat his ex-wife. She divorced him because she couldn’t stand him and then escaped to America to avoid him. They also have a child. Is Natalie crazy? Why would she want to date him?”
“What?! That guy is violent?! That’s a big red flag!” Alicia exclaimed in surprise
“I agree. That is why our entire family opposes her dating him,” Tammy echoed as she crossed her arms in front of her chest
“Mom and Dad think it’s fine. In fact, I don’t think those rumors are true. You can’t just believe everything people say. I’ve met him in person, and I think he’s a gentleman,” Matthew said
554 Is She Having A Blind Date?
“But he’s a divorced man with a child, remember? You’re going to make Natalie someone’s stepmother?! She can’t even take care of herself!
She asked her maids to do everything for her! That old bastard! What the hell is he up to?” Exclaimed Tammy. She then stood up angrily
“What are you doing?” Astonished, Alicia looked at Tammy and asked
“I’m going to prove to Natalie what kind of nasty man he is!” Tammy waved at the waiter and then spoke into his ear
After a brief pause, the waiter said with hesitation, “Miss Wright, about this…”
“What are you scared of? If something goes wrong, I’ll take the blame,” Patting her chest, Tammy said with certainty
“Sorry, but I don’t believe that is a good idea. Mr. Carter is my manager’s friend,” Smiling awkwardly, the waiter still tried to talk Tammy out of it
“It’s OK, just do what she says. I’ll take responsibility for everything/’ Matthew said
And the waiter agreed and left after gaining Matthew’s guarantee
Surprised, Alicia asked, “Why don’t you ask her what she’s doing directly? Why bother getting a stranger involved in it?*’ Tammy, you drugged Evan and beat him up a few days ago. Thank goodnessContent held by NôvelDrama.Org.
your uncle covered your ass. And this time, you’re messing with that violent man? Are you out of your mind?! At the thought of that, Alicia felt a headache
“I just wanted to test if he really liked Natalie,” Tammy said triumphantly, “Just wait and see what happens.” wee
At the same time, Natalie was flipping through the menu impatiently
“What’s wrong? You can’t find the dish you want?” Harry, who was sitting across from her, asked
“No. Tammy and I used to come here every day. Later, whenever they created a new dish, they would leave us some. I don’t think there’s something worth eating here.”
“Then what would you like to eat? We can go to your favorite restaurant if you don’t like this one.”
Natalie shook her head and said, “Forget it. In fact, I understand why you came to see me. Your family forced you to come here, right?”
Harry said nothing. He just gazed at her tenderly. Then Natalie handed the menu to the waiter and said, “That’s all. And please bring me a cup of jasmine tea.”
After the waiter left, Natalie leaned back and rested against the back of the chair. She raised her head to look at Harry, saying flatly, “I know what kind of trouble you are facing as a divorced young man. Your family must be urging you to hurry up and get married every single day, right? And
I want you to know that everyone has a different attitude towards marriage.”
“What do you mean?” Harry asked eagerly
“Some think marriage will complete them, and some feel it’s nice to live alone.”
“What type of person are you, then?”
Natalie blurted out, “The latter one. I’m not interested in getting married at all. Playing games and watching TV is much more interesting than getting married. I don’t want to get married simply because I can financially benefit from it.”
554 Is She Having A Blind Date?
“Do you think you’d marry someone just because you like him?”
“No! I like a lot of things. And I wouldn’t give up many of my other interests just to get married.”
“Actually, I really like you,” Taking a deep breath, Harry said
“Thank you. I’m flattered,” Natalie said calmly
Harry was surprised by her calm attitude. Then he asked in confusion, “Aren’t you curious about why I like you?”
“No. I already know why. You like me because of my father’s power and money, right? You are not the first to express an interest in me immediately after meeting me. Some people have said even crazier things
But, seriously, just get to the point, okay?” Natalie said with a shake of her head
Ignoring Harry, who was frowning, Natalie continued, “I’m a Wright, but I’m only my father’s adopted daughter. You’ll get nothing from me after you marry me because I have no shares or property. You shouldn’t expect anything from me.”
Still, Harry remained silent. However, in fact, thoughts kept flooding his mind. He thought, I knew /had fallen for the right person. Natalie, you’re more sophisticated than you look. And I like everything about
you, especially your bright eyes. Though it would be difficult to make you fall in love with me, I’ll be patient. You’re worth the wait, I know
While Natalie was waiting for Harry to break the silence, a waiter approached them, carrying a teapot. He then poured each of Natalie a cup of tea. However, the waiter’s hand shook when he was pouring tea for Harry, and the teacup landed on Harry’s suit
“I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean it!” Said the waiter in a fluster
“Does it hurt?” Natalie stood up and asked, knowing the tea was boiling hot

Harry told the waiter he was fine and then wiped his shirt with a paper towel. “Sorry, I need to go to the restroom. Please wait a moment.”
“Sir, please come with me to the dressing room. I’ll get you anew shirt.” “All right, thanks,” Saying that, Harry followed the waiter and left
As she sipped her tea, Natalie had a sense of deja vu. She suspected the waiter had done it on purpose. Later, Natalie stood up and asked a waitresses, “Hello, could you tell me where the dressing room is?”
“That way, miss.” wee
Tammy put down the magazine she was using to shield her face after Natalie left. “Is she gone?” she asked nervously
Alicia replied nervously as well, “She just left. What do you want to do?”
“Follow me.” Tammy stood up and wiped her mouth
“Wait for us here, Matthew.”
Matthew calmly ate his steak. “OK. Be safe,” he said
“Got it.”
Awhile later, the two girls walked together toward the dressing room
Tammy sent a voice message to someone as they walked, asking, “Have you arrived yet? How are things going?”
“Who is it?”
“A journalist. I asked her to do me a small favor.”
“Why did you invite her?” Alicia widened her eyes in shock and asked
“I didn’t just invite a reporter, I also invited Fiona Donovan.”
“Fiona Donovan? That actress?” Alicia asked, surprised
