Chapter 2, Another blind date
from Nathan , Evelyn did not go home directly, but took the subway to the West End.
She and her friend opened a clinic in Dongmen, and noon was the busiest time of the day.
As soon as she came out of the subway station, her sister-in-law Grace Martin called.
" Evelyn , where are you?"
"I'm at the Central Bookstore, sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
Grace 's voice rang out in an octave higher, "I asked you to go on a blind date, and you agreed, so why didn't you go? Are you standing her up?"
Evelyn was confused, "Yes, I went. Not only did I go, I also ... "
"Why are you going? I've been waiting there for more than two hours, and I still haven't seen you?"
Grace quickly interrupted her, "Come back quickly and explain what you said to me clearly."
"Sister-in-law, I ... "
Evelyn thought that this matter could be explained clearly over the phone, but Grace hung up the phone directly.
Evelyn called again in a hurry, but the call ended after two rings, so it was obvious that the other person was not answering her call.
In desperation, Evelyn could only send a message to Alice Macleod saying that she had something to do, and then hurried back.
As soon as they got home, Grace hurriedly pulled her out the door.
"Sister-in-law, where are you taking me?"
Evelyn was frightened by Grace's frustrated look.
"Where are you going? Where are you going?"
Grace was furious and anxious, "You agreed to go on a blind date with her, but you didn't go. You made her wait for more than two hours in vain. Shouldn't you go and apologize to her? Go on a blind date again?"
"What?"
Evelyn couldn't believe that her sister-in-law would do such a cruel thing.
Even if she really kissed the wrong person today, wouldn't it be enough for her to just call and apologize?
Isn't it a slap in the face to force her to go to the man's house?
Between men and women, the one who takes the initiative naturally has a lower status.
James Miller saw Grace 's sister-in-law coming to visit him, a look of arrogance and disdain appeared on his face.
I know that people living in old neighborhoods will never forget his family after learning that he lives in a high-end neighborhood.
Just as I called them to scold them for their lack of manners, they came to my door on their own initiative.
Olivia Cameron is James ' mother. After knowing the purpose of Evelyn's sister-in-law's visit, she acted superior.
"If your sister-in-law wants to marry my son, she has to have a child first and then get married, otherwise there is no point in discussing this."
Upon hearing this condition, Evelyn 's face immediately turned cold.
Sir, child?
Are you marrying a wife or a baby-making machine?
Grace gritted her teeth and agreed on behalf of her sister-in-law, "This ... this is no problem."
As long as the other party is willing to marry Evelyn , let them have the child first. After all, she is not the one giving birth to the child.
"She also has to do housework, clean the two floors, prepare three meals a day, buy groceries and cook, and wash the clothes of the whole family."
James ' father also spoke up.
Evelyn 's face became increasingly ugly.
Isn??t marriage something that both parties agree to?
She doesn't dare to ask for 100% equality between men and women. She may not earn as much as the man, but she doesn't have to do all the housework, right?
It made her seem like she couldn't get married, and she had to kneel down and beg someone to marry her.
Grace 's face looked somewhat embarrassed.
But when she thought that the other party would give a betrothal gift of 500,000 dollar, she felt that it didn't matter.
"Okay, no problem. Evelyn is good at housework."
Grace agreed on behalf of Evelyn again .
Seeing Evelyn's cold face, she quickly held her down and didn't give her a chance to speak.
My sister-in-law is pretty. If she finds a husband now while she is still young and beautiful, she can ask for more dowry, which will help her brother to have a secure wedding house in the future.
"Also, since both parties have no objection, let her move in in a few days. We will pay 250,000 dollar as the betrothal gift first, and then pay another 250,000 dollar when the child is born and we get married."
James also made his own request.
He was very satisfied with Evelyn , who was young and beautiful, 12 years younger than him, and was the wife he had always dreamed of.
Evelyn could no longer sit still and immediately confronted him.
"Are you looking for a wife or a baby-making machine? Also, we are going on a blind date today, not discussing marriage.
I won??t marry an uncle!??
"Look at your sister-in-law, what's her attitude?!"
James ' mother shouted excitedly, "It's like this before we even get in. What will happen after we get in?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. She's still young. She will change!"
Grace wanted to continue talking.
Because the Miller Family is so well-off and is willing to give a dowry of $500,000.
Her younger brother was short of 200,000 dollar for the down payment on a house, and she urgently needed the 200,000 dollar to help her younger brother.
"Brother, don't forget me."
Unexpectedly, James ' sister also jumped out to join in the fun, "My clothes must be washed by hand and ironed after drying. And the embroidery on my dress, sister-in-law, please help me with it."
Evelyn exploded on the spot.
"Should I marry you, or your whole family?
Just let me be a servant!"
It was just an angry remark, but James responded directly, "Haha, you said that yourself. When you move in, we will fire the hourly worker. Don't tell me that doing housework is tiring then."
"Get lost! I'd rather marry a farmer than a self-righteous rich man like you!"
Evelyn was so angry that she overturned the table.
She, who was usually good-tempered, completely exploded.
What the hell is this, a family of monsters!
Still want to get married?
"Look at you! You have such a bad temper, you're just a shrew. You still want to marry me? Dream on! Even if I marry an ugly freak, I won't marry a rough and fierce woman like you!"
James also responded tit for tat, and spared no effort to ridicule Evelyn .
He felt that with his conditions, it would be no problem for him to marry a young and beautiful college student.
" By God , I don't want to marry you either!"
Evelyn snorted coldly, turned around and walked straight out the door!
Grace quickly chased after him and wanted to pull Evelyn back to apologize, but Evelyn simply shook her hand off.
The aunt and sister-in-law returned home in a cold war. As soon as they entered the door, Grace yelled at Evelyn angrily .
"Are you blind? Can't you see what Miller Family is like? In Mingyue Garden, the housing price is over 70,000 per square meter. Miller Family is a two-story duplex, 150 square meters, and worth over 10 million."
"You don't even want to marry someone with such good conditions. Who do you think you are?"
Evelyn was angry with her sister-in-law, but thinking that her sister-in-law would accompany her brother for the rest of his life, she tried her best to restrain herself.
"Sister-in-law, you can see what kind of people that family is. They are rich, but does being rich mean they can treat poor people like dogs?
Also, you asked me to go on a blind date today, and I did go, and I also went to table 11, but why the person at table 11 was not James , I don??t know.??
Grace looked at her with wide eyes, "You really went?"
"Yes, there is a surveillance camera at the entrance of Euphoria Dining . If you don't believe me, you can check it out."
Evelyn looked at Grace seriously and said , "Besides, I successfully went on a blind date with someone. You don't have to help me with blind dates anymore."
"What?!"
