    Chapter 1900


    The moment the youngdy, brought by her parents for a blind date,id eyes on Balfour, she was


    stunned by his charm. Blushing, she stood up, shyly extending a hand towards him.


    “Hi, I’m Alexa.”


    “Hello, please sit,” Balfour responded, simply nodding without taking her hand.


    Alexa felt awkward, sheepishly withdrawing her hand that had been hanging in mid-air and gingerly


    sitting back down.


    Dean and Alyssa, exchanged a look, both exasperated with their grandson’sck of social grace. How


    could he make the poor girl feel so ufortable? Balfour sat alone on an armchair, engaging in


    sporadic conversation with the guests. His demeanor was polite yet aloof, neither warm nor cold, until


    the visitors realized there was no chance and made an excuse to leave.


    After the guests left, Dean and Alyssa turned to their grandson, ring at him. Alyssa Howard said in


    frustration, “Balfour! You really need to learn how to interact with women. She was a nice girl! You


    could at least give her a smile!”


    Balfour shrugged, “Granny, I’m not nning on getting married right now. You and Grandpa should stop


    setting me up.”


    Dean huffed, “You’re not nning on getting married? When do you n to? Going to stay a bachelor


    forever? You’re in your thirties; you’re not young anymore! Byran and Pearl are all paired up, leaving


    you as the odd one out. Don’t you feel embarrassed being the older brother?”


    Balfour replied, “I think my current lifestyle is great, so why should I feel embarrassed?”


    “You, you…” Alyssa suddenly clutched her chest, struggling to breathe.


    Seeing his grandmother’s distress, Balfour quickly stood up to help her, “Granny, are you okay? Quick,


    get her heart medicine!”


    Alyssa stubbornly refused, “I don’t need medicine! I won’t take it!”


    Balfour frowned, “Granny, you have a heart condition, and you need to take your medicine.”


    Alyssa looked at him resentfully, “Your bachelorhood is my greatest worry, and no medicine can cure


    that! Balfour, if you don’t want us to set you up, fine. But within a month, you must bring home a decent


    woman. If you don’t, I’ll stop taking my medicine and let the sickness take me!”


    Balfour sighed in exasperation, “Granny, you…”


    Alyssa didn’t let him make any more excuses, “Come on, Dean, let’s stop bothering with this stubborn


    boy until he brings home a bride.” Dean helped his wife to their room, giving his grandson a


    disappointed look, “Hmph, go ahead and upset your grandmother!” Watching his grandparents’


    stubborn retreating backs, Balfour massaged his temples in frustration.


    The next night.


    As the evening fell over Greenhaven, inside a local pub.


    “Come on, drink up! If you don’t, it means you don’t respect me!”


    ra Dunhill pushed her sister, Ivy Dunhill, urging her to down her drink.


    After swallowing the strong liquor, Ivy felt a burning sensation in her throat, “Sis, I can’t drink anymore.”


    “You promised you’de drinking with me. You’ve barely had anything! Ivy, I just broke up with my


    boyfriend, and I’m really upset. Can’t you just keep mepany without making me feel worse?” ra


    said as she poured more alcohol into Ivy’s ss.

    Ivy didn’t dare to upset her sister. If she did, it would make her life at home with her mother unbearable.


    ‘Fine, sis, but I can only drink one more.”


    ra’s eyes twinkled as she poured a different type of liquor into the ss, “Alright, just onest drink!”
