Chapter 91


    As the male lead of this hoo-ha, the man who had horn-rimmed sses, broke the silence, asking


    sincerely, “Skr, I’m Jackson. Have you forgotten about me?”


    Lily’s eyes gleamed in excitement as she eximed, “What? Does that mean both of you are


    acquainted? Great! Fate must have brought you guys together again!”


    Skr started sizing Jackson up after she heard his name. After racking her brain, she finally recalled


    the identity of the man in front of them.


    Jackson was her ssmate who had always taken a seat by her side back in their junior high school


    days. She once received a confession letter from him during their senior high school days.


    It had been so many years, yet he hadn’t changed a single bit. He still had the same geeky look.


    During their school days, students were arranged into different sses based on their family


    backgrounds. Since they were both from a rtively normal background, they were treated as outcasts


    of the school and dispatched to a rtively subpar ss.


    She could vividly recall the tough condition of Jackson’s family back in the day. Yet, he seemed different


    aspared to thest time they met. He was dressed upvishly as though he was from a well-off


    family.


    The confused Skr replied indifferently, “I guess I do.”


    Jackson responded with a goofy smile and indicated his intention to engage in a conversation with Skr


    in private.


    The rest of the party thought things would work out between them just fine because they caught a


    glimpse of Jackson’s smile.


    Sharon couldn’t suppress her joy anymore as she started nning the distribution of the wealth she


    would soon acquire.


    Three hundred thousand! I’ll never give Skr a hundred fifty thousand! If worsees to worst, I’ll give


    her thirty thousand and chase her off!


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    As long as I get my hands on the three hundred thousand, I won’t have to wrack my brain to collect the


    fees for my sons’ education anymore!


    Jackson went after Skr with his head hanging low.


    In the end, Skr stopped by an ice cream store and got herself a serving of ice cream and a bottle of


    soda.


    She had a sweet tooth—after getting her cravings fixed, she would be in a great mood.


    Jackson dared not look at Skr in the eyes, but he mustered his courage and said, “Skr, you have


    always been a gorgeous woman ever since our high school days.”


    “You’re quite a capable man as well. I’m still trying to get myself a degree, yet you’re already involved in


    the corporate world. How did you manage to be ahead of our peers?”


    “You shouldn’t take my mother’s words seriously because she’s just kidding. I have quit school after


    senior high because of my despairing results. Due to the family’s condition, I couldn’t afford to further my


    study anymore.”


    The mother and son duo’s words were contradicting as Jackson had stated the exact opposite of Lily.


    Skr pursed her lips and frowned because she had her fair share of doubts. “How can you not afford to


    further your studies when your mother has saved up the money for your wedding?”


    The geeky man shook his head. “I have no idea, Skr. Out of the blue, she told me she would get me a


    wife. I didn’t expect it would be you!”


    He took a deep breath and mustered his courage to look at Skr in the eyes, confessing the affection


    he had for her, “I-I can’t believe fate has brought us together once again. Skr, will you marry me? I


    have a crush on you since our junior high days! Don’t worry! You’ll be the happiest woman on this


    net after we get married!”


    Goosebumps sprang up all over Skr’s bare arm when she heard Jackson’s confession. She felt


    ufortable and couldn’t wait to leave him.


    She turned him down without a second thought. “I won’t get married to you, Jackson! Pull yourself


    together! I have been set up!”


    Jackson adjusted his sses and assured Skr, “I’ll take good care of you for the rest of our lives! Trust


    me! You’ll be the happiest woman on this!”


    Tobias’ words are so much more reliable aspared to this fancy promise. Instead of this seemingly


    empty promise, the uncertain future Tobias has mentioned seems far more achievable.


    Skr had no intention to carry on with the absurd conversation they had. After she footed the bill, she


    departed and left the man behind, running away from him as fast as she could.


    Jackson repeated Skr’s name, yet she didn’t bother to stop at all.


    The dejected man returned to Wesley and shrugged his shoulders helplessly, indicating the oue of


    the blind date. Lily asked, “Where’s Skr?”


    Jackson sniffled and told his mother, “She said she would never marry me! Mom, I’m serious about


    Skr! I have a crush on her ever since our junior high days! Are you sure she’s going to marry me?”
