Chapter 1487


    I took a deep breath to steady myself and gave Aaron a threatening re. What was wrong with


    him?


    However, it was Emma''s response that stumped me. She simply said, "That''s good. We can stay


    out of each other''s way!"


    I was convinced.


    They were clearly made for each other.


    Seeing these two of them acting like this, I felt that Hendrix and my presence was unnecessary, so I


    tried toe up with an excuse to leave.


    However, who would suddenly turn up but Austin, with a woman who looked about 20 years old in


    his arms. She was elegant and well-dressed. The clothes and essories she had on were


    exquisite. She looked different from the girls he usually hung out with.


    They caught sight of us as soon as they entered the restaurant. From Austin''s look, it seemed that


    he hade for Hendrix. They greeted us with a smile and sat down at our table. Suddenly, we


    went from a party of four to six.


    Austin nced at Aaron and was startled for a second. Then, he greeted him as well. I thought that


    Emma would introduce herself, but Austin took a look at her and said with a smile, "Miss Stone,


    what a coincidence. What are you doing here?"


    "I''m on a blind date!" Emma replied. Her nonchnt tone made everyone slightly ufortable.


    Austin rubbed his nose, it seemed like he was embarrassed, and the atmosphere turned a little


    awkward.


    I looked at Austin and said with a faint smile, "Mr. Shelley, why don''t you introduce the beautiful girl


    next to you?"


    Austin smiled and announced, "This is Phoebe Pulin, my fiancee." It was a simple introduction.


    I was a little surprised. I had heard through the grapevine that Austin had recently got engaged, but


    I was still surprised to meet his fiancee in person.


    In only a matter of few days, Austin hadpletely cut off the rtionship between Andrea and


    him. He had quickly found a socialite to marry. It was frightening how fast he was able to move on.

    Phoebe looked at us with a faint smile and said gracefully, "Nice to meet all of you." "It seems that


    Mr. Shelley has a good eye. Other than a good family background and a good figure, she is also


    very young. No wonder you told my father that we were not suitable for each other!" Emma said


    promptly. Her words stunned everyone around the table.


    We were not fools. Upon hearing this, we realized that Emma must have had a blind date with


    Austin. As to why it had not turned out well, it was probably because Austin wanted a woman with a


    good family background who was young and pretty as well; hence he chose Phoebe.


    What a coincidence!


    However, the upper- ssmunity in Jarold City was not that big. There were only a few families


    who would initiate strategic unions. Therefore, it was not surprising to run into each other like this.


    I snuck a nce at Aaron to gauge his reaction, but he looked fine. It seemed like he wasn''t


    bothered at all. It appeared that he wasn''t that interested in Emma either.


    "Don''t be ridiculous, Miss Stone. I''m not that shallow. I don''t think the failure of our union was due to


    superficial reasons like this. It''s just that I yearn for true love. I dream of settling down with the love


    of my life. However, you made it very clear that you weren''t interested in love. Hence, I decided that


    we were not suitable, and I conveyed that to Mr. Stone," Austin exined calmly.


    Emma didn''t say anything more and her gaze remained impassive. I realized then that she was


    merely outspoken by nature, and she had not intended to be rude. She seemed to me as someone


    who cared very little about others, much less what they thought of her.


    The conversation had be really awkward.
