Chapter 25


    Ines took a sip of coffee and began to tell the story of her first blind date half a month ago. At first,


    Phoebe listened with a bit of skepticism, but in the end, she was so angry that she trembled and


    said excitedly, "Ines, are you crazy? Did you agree to marry that guy after just one meeting? Is an


    unmarried man in his thirties normal? Does he have any bad habits? Any hereditary diseases?


    Domestic violence? Mental issues? Does he participate in porn, or gambling? Are his parents


    picky? Is he a total scammer...? Have you figured all these out?"


    Phoebe was indeed a blind date expert, raising many questions all at once, leaving Ines speechless


    and a bit dumbfounded. "No way, he said he didn''t."


    "You just believe him because he said so? Can you trust what a man says? Where did your


    intelligence go? Why are you so careless? This is a lifelong situation. Couldn’t you be more


    cautious?"


    Phoebe''s voice was a bit loud, and although the coffee shop was quiet in the morning, a few people


    still gave disapproving nces as if ming them for disturbing their leisure time.


    "Phoebe, calm down."


    Phoebe realized she was too emotional and took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.


    "My aunt Rita and uncle Zander have met him. At first, they were against it, but after getting to know


    him, they greatly praised him. Don''t worry. I''ll be happy. If the marriage isn''t good, I''ll leave. I don''t


    want love, just a pleasant partner." She knew she wasn''t the type who couldn''t let go, and it wouldn’t


    be difficult to leave a loveless marriage.


    But people''s hearts are unpredictable and difficult to control. You could guess the beginning, but the


    end was not easy to predict, right?


    "Ines, you''re so naive. Can a loveless marriagest? Can it bring happiness?"


    Ines thought of her recent days with Ethan, and a smile appeared. The man was an impable


    husband, and she hadn''t regretted her impulsive decision. Wasn''t that a good start?


    "I''ll try my best to make myself happy."


    Phoebe''s eyes reddened, knowing that there was no way back now. She couldn''t ask Ines to get a


    divorce right away. The best thing she could do was pray for her happiness and hope that she


    would meet someone who would spoil her for a lifetime.


    Ines sat beside Phoebe and wiped the corner of her eye with a tissue. "Come on, I just got married.


    Can you, as my best friend, not be so gloomy and give me a smile?"


    "Ines..." Phoebe hugged Ines tightly.

    Ines hugged her back, feeling warm in her heart. She knew that besides Rita''s family, the person


    who cared most about her was the one in front of her.


    After hugging for a while, they separated, and Phoebe looked at Ines unhappily. "Alright, alright, go


    back to your seat. I still attend blind dates regrly, and I often hang out at this coffee shop. I don''t


    want others to misunderstand my sexual orientation."


    Ines returned to her seat and saw Phoebe still frowning, so she stopped smiling. "Phoebe, you


    should trust my taste."


    "I''d love to, but I hope your taste is like before, when you only liked people like Ethan."
