Chapter 49


    Hertha was scrolling through ric’s social media feed when she came across a selfie of him at a bar,


    drink in hand.


    Maybe it was the bar lights, or maybe love made people look more attractive, but as Hertha stared at


    the photo, the man’s face seemed to glow, bing more and more charming


    Just a single photo, and she was already head over heels, her heart racing as she ogled the picture.


    Some people just knocked her off her feet at first sight


    She barely had a look at him and was already hooked, how could she possibly forget him?


    Hertha secretly saved the picture on her phone.


    After a bit of thinking, she decided to give herself a shot.


    Otherwise, shed have regrets.


    She opened the chat with ric and typed, Hello.


    No, that was too ordinary


    She deleted it and typed again Hey handsome, this is Hertha. Fancy grabbing a bite to eat tonight? My


    treat


    Having typed the message, she bit her lip, pondering for a while.


    Every word she wrote was carefully considered Gathering her courage, she hit “send”.


    The message was sent.


    Her heart was pounding, her nerves were on fire, and she was uncertain of what the response would


    be


    But before she had the chance to ponder the possible oues, she realized that after a while, the


    message hadn’t shown the two gray ticks.


    Was his signal bad? Or couldn’t he receive messages?


    Oh crap!


    She realized she couldn’t see his profile picture; had she been blocked?


    Hertha panicked, burying her face in Thssa’s shoulder. Her emotions swung from nervous to excited


    to disappointed in just a few seconds. Overwhelmed, she broke down in Thssa’s arms and said,


    “Thssa, he blocked me. He rejected me before anything even started.”


    It was funny to think that she was even considering him to be a yboy


    He simply wasnt into her


    Thssa was taken aback for a moment, then started tofort her by patting her back


    11’s okay, the next guy will be better,” Thssa said


    Hertha’s sobs were muffled against her shoulder, her warm tears soaking her clothes.


    Thssa felt sorry for her, her heart was aching

    She only met the guy once, fell for him, and got so crushed after being blocked.


    If they’d actually been in a rtionship and it didn’t work out. Hertha would surely be in more pain


    It was a good thing it ended before it began. With ric’s yboy personality, there was no way he


    could give Hertha a future.


    Otherwise. Hertha would’ve been hurt even worse


    Hertha was crying as the taxi pulled up at Thssa’s ce. Thssa paid the fare and helped Hertha


    out of the car.


    After a good cry, Hertha seemed better. She wiped away her tears, managed a smile, and told


    Thssa, “You’re right, the next one will be better. It’s just a man, no big deall Come on, the four kids


    are waiting for us.”


    Hertha lightly held onto Thssa’s arm, appearing as if she didn’t have a care in the world, full of


    energy and sunshine.


    But Thssa saw her swollen eyes and the lingering tears and knew that she hadn’t let go so easily
