Chapter 1745
Chapter 1745
At noon, the sunshine was scorchingly hot.
The shutter fell down, which shut out most of the strong sunlight. The air- conditioning inside the office was very agreeable, and it was comfortable to stay there.
Tina didn't go to the canteen for lunch. Instead, she asked her colleague to buy some takeaways for her.
While she was eating the takeaways, Tina was talking to Malee Chiang on the phone.
After listening to Tina's narration, Malee was no less shocked than Tina herself. "... So Uncle Koo's cancer is fake?"
"Yes!" Tina nodded.
Malee exclaimed in a low voice, "This is too despicable! In order to be with you, Dylan not only cursed his father, but also tried to trap you by moral kidnapping... I haven't expected that somebody Dylan would do such a thing!"
Tina's reaction was the same as Malee's.
She couldn't believe that it was Dylan who did it.
Although Dylan had a handsome and cool face, he had in fact always been a gentleman, somebody whose kindness was undeniable.
When he had just returned to the home country,
Dylan's heart was full of hatred and resentment against Tina, but when he drove her home one day, he took the initiative to open the door of the car door for Tina. This was what a gentleman should do
to a lady. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Now, what he had done was limitlessly immoral, which made others completely disappointed with him.
Tina pursed her lips. "I'm just worried about Uncle Koo..."
Malee asked, "Tina, do you think that Uncle Koo still wishes that Dylan and you could get married even if his cancer has been confirmed to be nonexistent?"
"Uh-huh." Tina hummed.
She sighed and added, "Ever since uncle learned about the secret of five years ago, he felt very apologetic to me, and thought that he had let down my mother's wish! He believed that Lilith was the one who put obstacles in the way between Dylan and me, that the two of us still had affection for each other!"
It was true. If Tina directly told Aspry that she no longer loved Dylan, he might not believe her words.
At the same time, it was unsuitable for Tina to tell him that she had fallen in love with someone else.
What's more, she couldn't take the person she loved so deeply to the hospital...
Tina frowned and was at a loss. "I don't know what to do to make Uncle Koo understand that it's absolutely impossible for Dylan and me to be
together again!"
Malee gave her a suggestion. "That's quite easy. Find a man randomly, or find a blind-date target, and then the two of you call upon Aspry and made it clear your position. He'll give up his wish
completely!"
Tina hung up the phone and reflected upon Malee's words.
She put down her chopsticks and came over to her colleague sitting in front of the nearby desk. "Bonnie, can you do me a favor..."
A week later...
Tina went to the high-class hospital once again.
However, she was not alone this time. She was accompanied by someone else.
Tina had brought with her a man wearing glasses who was strange to everybody. In fact, it was the first time for Tina and this man to meet each other.
She told Aspry that this was her new blind-date target.
Tina made it very clear to Aspry.
Since the cancer diagnosis turned out to be fake, there was no need for her to continue pretending that she would accept Dylan as her husband.
However, Aspry still cherished the hope that someday his son and Tina could become two lovers again.
The goal for Tina to bring a blind-date target to the ward was to indirectly demonstrate her attitude to Aspry, that the love relationship between Dylan and her was completely over. If ever she wanted to start a new love relationship, her lover would definitely not be Dylan.
Aspry was silent for a long time, and then he sighed. "Well... Tina, I understand your viewpoint this time. I will not ask too much about your love affairs in the future. You're always free to make your
own choice! Uncle will give you the best wishes!"
As an experienced man, how could Aspry not understand the message Tina wanted to convey indirectly?
It was quite impossible for Tina to fall in love so rapidly and deeply with the blind- date target brought over there by her in such a short period of time.
There was no doubt that she only wanted to make her stance clear in s sinuous manner.
Aspry now realized that the love relationship between Dylan and Tina was a river of no return. He decided not to cause any more pressure on Tina in the future. Even so, he still felt sorry for the two children.
If Dylan missed this chance, he would never be able to become Tina's lover again.
Tina heaved a sigh of relief at Aspry's words.
She said, "Thank you, uncle!"
Aspry waved his hand, yet he still felt pitiful about it.
Lilith was the happiest person on the scene.
Her husband's illness was only fabricated by her son in cooperation with the attending doctor. It turned out to be a false alarm.
Now that Lilith didn't have to worry about Tina getting married to her son anymore, she was so happy that she thought about buying herself a luxury LV bag for cerebration.
Lilith even personally sent Tina and her blind-date target to the elevator.
For the first time, a kind smile appeared on her originally- mean face, and she behaved like a kindhearted elder. "Goodbye! Tina, come over here more often when you're free!"
Tina's lips curled up into a cold smile.
Walking out of the hospital building, she felt that the sunshine was bright and beautiful.
Tina smiled and looked at the man standing next to her. "Lynn, thank you for helping me today!"
The man's name was Lynn Zakowski. He was about twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old. Although his facial features were not handsome, but they looked quite decent. He was wearing a pair of wooden-frame glasses, and looked like a scholarly man.
Lynn worked as an insurance salesman, and his manners appeared to be polite. "Miss Hall, you are welcome!"
He then added, "I promised to help you, and our relationship is virtually a mutually-beneficial one! I helped you today, and I need your help later on. My parents are eager to see my girlfriend. When you're free next time, you should call upon my house together with me. In this way, I'll be able to explain to my Mom that I already have had a girlfriend!"
Tina had asked Bonnie for help.
Bonnie was asked to find a blind-date target for Tina, who should be approximately at the same age level. Lynn turned out to be the best candidate for this.
All the year round, Lynn's parents had been nagging him to get married as soon as possible. However, Lynn personally didn't have the eagerness to do so. In order to cope with his mother's nagging, Lynn actually needed somebody like Tina to help him, namely, to pretend to be his girlfriend. It was for this reason that Lynn pretended to be Tina's boyfriend and went to the hospital together with her.
That was what the two of them had agreed upon in advance.
Tina stared at Lynn, but the image which was subconsciously popped up in her mind was none other than Wilson Chin.
Of all the persons she had met throughout her life, Wilson was indeed the most handsome man wearing glasses.
Tina nodded. "No problem. Call me if you need any help!"
Lynn nodded and said, "Okay!"
He then asked Tina if she needed him to give her a ride in a gentlemanly manner. Tina declined his suggestion. After that, he drove away alone.
It was over 14:00 p.m. now, which was the hottest time of the day.
Tina hailed a taxi and went to Susan's studio, which was located in the southern part of the city.
While inviting Tina to join her studio as a partner, Susan demonstrated great sincerity and enthusiasm. She told Tina that she needn't go to the studio for work every day. She would allow Tina to work on a part-time basis and in a flexible manner.
Now that it was the weekend again, Tina wanted to go there and take a look. She also wanted to send some of the design drawings she had finished these days.
The sun was scorching, and the temperatures difference inside and outside of the room was quite large.
After getting off of the taxi, Tina almost ran into the office building.
When the elevator reached the floor where the studio was, Tina walked out of it.
The door of the elevator diagonally opposite was closing slowly.
Through the door gap, Tina caught a glimpse of an elegant figure.
Tina was slightly surprised.
After that, she went over to Susan's office.
After handing the design drawings over to Suan, Tina asked curiously, "Susan, I seem to have seen Miss Amery just now. Could it be possible that she had come to the studio?"
Last time, during the opening ceremony, Susan acted rudely in front of Abby.
Moreover, after the incident, Tina learned from Susan the reason why she was so rude to Abby. It was because Abby had once plagiarized Susan's design ideas, and Susan still couldn't forgive what Abby had done to her.
"Uh-huh." Susan nodded rather unhappily.
She then snorted. "She had just come over here and said that she wanted me to design something for her. I don't know what she was thinking about. She should know how much I hate her. How can I design a wedding dress for her? What a silly idea!"
