Chapter 590


    Chapter 590 Would You Like a Taste?


    Why is Erik here? Summer’s eyes had been showing signs of impatience initially, but she stiffened


    when she realized the person outside the door was that man. I’m still in my teddy bear pajamas and


    haven’t washed my face. After a night of sleep, my face is undoubtedly oily. Shoot! Do I have eye


    boogers? At this thought, she reached up and touched the corner of her eyes. Phew! Thankfully, there


    aren’t any.


    Nheless, she felt uneasy about doing nothing and wondered if she should hurry upstairs, clean up,


    and get dressed before he entered the room. However, as she got to her feet, Jane returned to the


    room with Erik.


    “Your boss is here, Summer.”


    “Hello, everyone.” The man’s cold voice echoed throughout the room.


    Everyone, including Zach, who had been invited over for matchmaking, stared at Erik with disbelief in


    their eyes from the moment he stepped into the room. After all, Erik was a handsome man who exuded


    such a powerful aura that his mere existence caused an invisible sense of intimidation to fill the entire


    living room.


    Who would be able to ignore such a man?


    When Summer’s eyes met Erik’s, she instinctively twirled her hair in embarrassment. Why is he here?


    Why doesn’t he notify me before he arrives? With these thoughts racing in her mind, she pursed her


    lips helplessly and returned to her seat.


    Then, he took the seat across from her. He had no choice since it was the only unupied seat in the


    room.


    On the other hand, she felt awkward realizing he was sitting directly across from her and wanted to


    bury her face in her knees. If I had known he wasing, I would have changed and cleaned up


    instead of showing up as I am now…


    “You are Summer’s employer?” While Summer was deep in thought, Zach, sitting beside her, broke the


    silence. and began talking to Erik.


    After hearing this, she nced at Zach in surprise. Is this man trying to cozy up to Erik?


    While she was mid–contemtion, he said, “Hello, my name is Zach. I work at…”


    He rattled off a long andplicatedpany name that she didn’t pay attention to or understand, but


    all she


    heard was a cold grunt of acknowledgment.


    At this moment, Summer couldn’t resist the urge to look up at Erik, and they unexpectedly locked


    gazes. She


    noticed a questioning look in his eyes as if he was wondering about her rtionship with the man


    sitting next


    to her.


    Suddenly, Zach piped up, “Oh, right. I haven’t even told you who I am. I’m here for my date with


    Summer…”


    She had not reacted to a single word he had said until now, but his words finally caused her to lift her


    head, revealing her fair face to those around her. Then, she stared at him in disbelief. Today is our first


    meeting. How can it be a date? He made it appear as though we were already dating.


    “A date?” As he said this, Erik turned to stare directly into Summer’s face with a gaze as intense as a


    spotlight. When he saw that something was off about her eye and expression, he quickly realized what


    was going on. Hence, he asked, “You just met today?”


    11:31 Mon, 24 Jul GOD


    :83% ach nodded, somewhat embarrassed. “Yes. We only met today, but I have fallen in love with her


    at first sight. It hink she’s an amazing and beautiful woman, so I’ve decided to date her.”


    ummer stared at him in utter disbelief. Ha! Is that something he can decide for himself? So, he


    “decided,” and ow I have to date him? How impressive he thinks he is! Unfortunately, she couldn’t


    voice this sentiment aloud ecause their elders were also present. If not for them and the group of


    rtives in the room, she might have >udly scoffed and rolled her eyes before admonishing him.


    You’ve decided?” Erik’s gaze finally shifted from Summer’s face to look at Zach. “You decided on your


    own?” ach of his words had a seductive, alluring quality because of how slowly he had said them.


    tunned, Zach stared at him for a moment before nodding. “Yes.”


    When Jane heard that, her face clearly twisted with displeasure. She had anticipated a good,


    trustworthy man, ut she hadn’t bargained for someone with his mindset to be introduced as her


    daughter’s potential match. He ust decided on his own. Does he believe himself to be an emperor from


    bygone dynasties? Is he under the mpression that the girl he has feelings for must be his wife?


    iuddenly, a strange tension pervaded the room as Summer’s rtives were also rendered speechless


    by Zach’s


    leration.


    Then, the youngest boy among them immediately turned to Zach and said, “Hey, sir, if you like my


    sister, you


    hould be sincere when you ask her out on a date. You should also have asked her what she wanted.


    We have not even started the first step of courtship, yet you’ve just decided to date her. Have you ever


    asked her if she ikes you?”


    The boy was her cousin on the paternal side of the family, and because the older members of his


    family were absent, no one reprimanded him for what he had just said.


    His words seemed to have flipped a switch among the younger family members, as someone else


    chimed in, Don’t you think your deration was disrespectful to her? Aunt Jenny, just where did you


    find this guy? He doesn’t look like he’ll be a good match.”


    On the other hand, Zach had not expected a simple statement from him would lead to attacks on his


    character. Furious, he shot to his feet and barked, “Is this how the Jones Family treats their guests?”


    Then, he turned to ook down at Summer and stated, “I only like you because I saw that you’re pretty


    without makeup, Summer. I would never have liked you otherwise. Still, your rtives are a little too


    much. Don’t you think so?”


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    After hearing this, she just stared at him in disbelief.


    “Hey! What do you mean by saying you only like her because she’s pretty without makeup? Who do


    you think you are? You have pretty dreams for someone as ugly as you are. Do you think your looks


    are good enough for


    her?”


    “You have gone too far! There is no way she could easily find a man to marry at her age anyway. If I


    had not overlooked her age, no man would be visiting.”


    The entire ruckus made Summer’s head pound. She red at Zach, drew a deep breath, and then let


    loose with the rage building up inside her since she had been rudely woken up earlier that morning.


    “Are you done yet? If yes, get out!” Her explosive shout made everyone’s faces go pale.


    Zach had no idea she could react in such a manner, and he fumbled for words as he pointed at her in


    shock. “Y-


    You harpy!”


    “Ha!” Summer grabbed the ss of water on the table and aimed it at him. “I can be worse. Would you


    like a


    taste of it?”


    Fearing she might ssh the water at him, he sprinted out of the house, cursing at her loudly.


    Meanwhile, Jenny watched the entire scene y out in awkward silence. Everything was going so well


    just a few minutes ago, so how did things end up like this? Just… How could that man’s character


    switch at the drop


    of a hat?


    “Jenny, what kind of date did you set up for Summer? Can you find a better man next time?” one of the


    rtives


    asked.


    “Yeah! While Summer is getting on in years, she certainly doesn’t act her age. If there are no eligible


    men her


    age or older/we can consider younger men.”


    Summer, unable to stand being in the room for another second, promptly retreated to her room.
