Chapter 31 I Will Be Nice To Her

Xandria explained the whole story to Yuliana.

Ever since Pauline fell sick and was hospitalized, her personality had somewhat changed. During that time, Pauline arranged several blind dates for Xandria. However, the latter was a stubborn person. The more Xandria was asked to do something, the more she would not do it.

Thus, Xandria did not go on any of the blind dates, and in the end, this angered Pauline.

Pauline had already warned Xandria. If the latter dared not to show up again on the blind date that afternoon, Pauline would cancel Xandria’s cards and would forbid her to go out.

Since she was a child, Pauline and Tyson doted on Xandria very much. They never rejected any request of Xandria’s. Even if she wanted the moon, Pauline and Tyson would think of ways to get it for her.

This was the first time Xandria was forced to do something she did not want to do, regardless of her wishes. From the time Xandria graduated, she had never worked a proper job. Once Pauline canceled her cards, it would be worse than ending Xandria’s life.

Therefore, Xandria had to go on the blind date in the afternoon, even if she did not want to.

Most importantly, Xandria’s blind date was one of the people she hated a lot.

Xandria said angrily, “What do you think of my mother’s taste? Even if she wanted me to get married, she doesn’t have to look for someone like Raymond, right?”

Indeed, Xandria’s blind date was none other than Raymond, one of Christopher’s rowdy friends.

Yuliana comforted Xandria and asked, “Why don’t you try talking to Mrs. Yeager?”

“It’s useless. I think she is determined this time,” Xandria answered with dismay.

Yuliana did not expect another one of her friends to be bothered by their families urging them into a marriage. “What are you going to do then?” she asked Xandria.

Xandria responded, “I don’t know either. That’s why I’m asking for your help.”

Yuliana was rendered speechless.

No one had urged her to get married before, let alone go on a blind date. So how could Yuliana help Xandria? Yuliana thought for a moment and suggested, “Otherwise, why don’t you meet Raymond first and scout the situation?”

“Meet Raymond first?” Xandria could feel her blood surge. “I’m afraid we will fight when we meet.”

The grudge between Raymond and Xandria could be traced back to high school. During that time, Xandria wrote Christopher a love letter, which Annabelle read out loud to the whole school at the school’s broadcasting station. At that time, Raymond and Annabelle were together, and after reading the letter, the two also discussed and commented on it.

Since then, Xandria became a laughing matter in the school because of this. Back then, Xandria still had some baby fat, and Christopher had casually called her “chubby girl.” After that, the nickname followed Xandria until she graduated from high school.

Moreover, the friends surrounding Christopher would call Xandria “chubby girl” every time they saw her at school. Even teachers who loved to joke would call her that.

The name “chubby girl” had become a nightmare for Xandria.

Among them, Raymond was the worst. His mindless mouth provoked Xandria several times to the point where she chased after him with a mop to hit his buttocks.

Yuliana had no choice.

Yuliana and Xandria looked at each other without saying a word. After a while, Xandria suddenly said, “Yuliana, why don’t you accompany me?”

Yuliana was stumped for words.

Xandria and Raymond set up the meeting at a café.

Xandria wanted to wrap things up quickly and leave after discussing matters with Raymond.

Xandria and Yuliana arrived first. They waited for nearly half an hour before Raymond rushed over sleepily with messy hair.

When Raymond saw Yuliana, his gaze fixed on her momentarily. He then sneered sinisterly before sitting on the chair.

“Ms. Livingstone, you’re a divorcee. Are you not afraid you’ll bring bad luck by accompanying someone else on a blind date?” Raymond said.

Yuliana only frowned and said nothing.

After hearing what Raymond said, Xandria wanted to blow his head off. “Hey, jerk, what are you talking about?”

As soon as Raymond heard Xandria calling him a “jerk,” his expression darkened. “You’re still a little cute when you’re rough and savage in your teenage years. But, chubby girl, you’re already in your twenties. If you’re still the same as before, then I can only call you a shrew.”

“Who are you calling a chubby girl and a shrew?” Both nicknames were Xandria’s limit. She slammed the table with both hands and rose to her feet from the chair. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

However, at that moment, Xandria accidentally knocked over the coffee cup in front of her and spilled all the coffee.

“Xani!”

After Yuliana exclaimed, Xandria came back to her senses. The latter hurriedly avoided the spilled coffee, but much of it still stained her dress.

Xandria was so angry that her blood pressure soared, and her eyes reddened.

Yuliana hurriedly took a tissue from her bag and wiped it for Xandria. After that, Yuliana said to her, “You should go to the restroom to clean up first. I’ll talk to Mr. Quinn.”

Hearing that, Xandria looked at Yuliana worriedly. Yuliana’s lips curved into a smile to comfort the former. Xandria then went to the restroom to clean the coffee stain on her dress.

As soon as Xandria left, the atmosphere’s tension eased instantly.

Raymond stared at Yuliana for a while, curled the corners of his mouth, and casually commented, “If I remember correctly, I’m here on a blind date with Xandria today, not you, Ms. Livingstone.”

“You saw it too. You and Xani can’t talk properly. In that case, why don’t I talk to you on her behalf?” Yuliana replied.

Raymond snickered and responded, “Then, do I have to find someone to replace me, so I won’t be at a disadvantage? Ms. Livingstone, how about I call Chris and ask him to come over to talk to you for me?” Yuliana pursed her lips slightly and looked at him with a darkened gaze.

Raymond shrugged, curled his lips into a smirk, and said, “It’s just a joke. You don’t have to take it seriously, Ms. Livingstone. But it seems like you care a lot about Chris.”

Yuliana did not want to talk about Christopher. “Let’s talk about you and Xani,” she responded.

At the Solace residence, Kendrick, Joyce, Layla, and Jared were there on a Saturday. Christopher and Annabelle had also arrived home early in the morning. With the grandson, Alex, and granddaughter, Zofia, the whole family was gathered together.

Winnie and Zachary had gathered everyone to discuss Christopher and Annabelle’s marriage.

Annabelle replied to Winnie two days ago and agreed to marry Christopher. Winnie was so happy, but she feared the two would cause trouble again. Hence, on Friday, Winnie informed everyone in the Solace family to go back home on Saturday so that they could discuss matters related to the wedding preparation.

Winnie and Zachary gathered together and flipped through the calendar, looking for a good date for the wedding. On the other hand, Joyce and Layla were talking excitedly about the wedding dress, wedding photos, and wedding-related matters with Annabelle. Both Joyce and Layla had experience with weddings because they were married.

Christopher was the only one sitting on the couch at the side and playing games on his phone as if the wedding had nothing to do with him.

Jared, as his brother-in-law, stared at Christopher and whispered, “Since you decided to get married to Annabelle, you should not fool around anymore. Annabelle is a great girl. Don’t let her down.”

Christopher was silent for a while before answering, “I will be nice to her.”

He would treat her as well as he did in the past two decades.

Christopher looked up and glanced at Annabelle not far away. She smiled faintly and listened quietly to everything Joyce said with a calm face.

It looked like there was nothing wrong with getting married.

“Christopher.”

Hearing his name being called, Christopher’s attention shifted back. He tilted his head and found that Kendrick had come downstairs. The latter looked serious.

Christopher raised his eyebrows. Before he could say a word, he heard Kendrick say, “Come to the study.”

After saying that, Kendrick turned around and went upstairs.

Christopher put away his phone and rose to his feet. Just as he was about to follow Kendrick upstairs, hist phone vibrated suddenly. He looked at the text as he walked. It was a picture from Raymond on WhatsApp.

He clicked on it and saw a slender, fair hand holding a coffee cup.
