Chapter 65

Chapter 65 Juana Landor dragged Sherri into Lovers’ Cafe.

Juana said anxiously when she saw her daughter dawdling, “Hurry up and come in. Stop dilly-dallying!”

Sherri quickly texted Natalie while Juana looked for the reserved private room in the cafe. “Don’t worry about your overseas application form, Natalie, Hurry up and save me. If you’re late, my mother will apply for me to leave the house.”

When they arrived at the reserved private room on the second floor and opened the door, Sherri was so shocked she almost went berserk on the spot.

The man inside was also in disbelief, but soon, a playful smile appeared. A half-smile flickered over Hackett Blackwell’s face when he looked at Sherri, who wanted to escape.

He wore a black double-sided overcoat with a beige turtleneck inside; his glasses added a touch of elegance to his looks.

However, Hackett’s outfit did not compliment his face at all.

In fact, it was a complete mismatch, Juana grabbed Sherri’s hand and pulled her inside. “Hello, Mrs. Blackwell, I’m really sorry we are late. I was held up in traffic on my way here.”

Juana tried to leave a good impression on Joy Blackwell and did not disclose that Sherri slept late.

Juana then forced her daughter to sit on the sofa. Hackett looked at Sherri provocatively from across.

He winked at Sherri. Their mothers were busy chatting and did not notice the undercurrent going on in the room.

Sherri rolled her eyes at him as if she was looking at an idiot.

Joy smiled and said, “So, this is Sherri. She’s a pretty girl!”

Juana put on a pretentious smile and said humbly, “Don’t praise her. She only cares about working in the hospital all day long. I’m worried about her.

So, this is Mr. Blackwell. He’s so handsome!”

Sherri realized it was a matchmaking meeting with Hackett. Athana was a large city; how did she end up being matched to this scumbag? Sherri could not figure it out in her head.

What an ill-fated relationship!

Hackett greeted Juana politely, “Hello, Auntie. You can call me Hackett.”

Juana was satisfied with Hackett’s looks and manners as her potential son-in-law. “This boy is really polite. Mrs. Blackwell, you taught him well. There must be many girls after him!”

Joy Blackwell smiled shyly. “No way. They’re all not up to par. I hope he can find a good girl as his wife.”

She glanced at Sherri knowingly.

Sherri was speechless. Hackett’s mother seemed to have taken a fancy to her. This would not do; she became very anxious.

Sherri would rather die than be married to that scumbag of a man!

If she made do with Hackett, her days would be spent killing monsters and leveling up in real life. She would be busy beating up his mistresses, followed by his illegitimate kids, Sherri glanced at the pretentious man across from her and was unhappy. She wanted to expose his deeds and make Juana give up on Hackett. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Blackwell. This is our first time meeting; please bear with me.” Sherri greeted him politely.

Hackett smiled in return. “Yes, I understand it’s your first time. Please bear with me too.” He emphasized the phrase “first time” to make a point.

Sherri knew what he meant and ignored him. “Can I ask you a few questions?” said Sherri.

Joy thought Sherrl was interested in her son and said, “Sure, sure. Ask him anything. He will surely tell you everything he knows!”

Then she slapped Hackett’s thigh discreetly.

Hackett spent most of his time around different women daily, making Joy anxious. A while ago, she bumped into Juana’s car when shopping in a mall.

The two started talking about their kids while settling the dispute for compensation. Both agreed to matchmake their kids and arranged for a blind date.

Joy liked Sherri very much when she saw her, hoping Hackett could stop messing around and fall in love, get married, and bear children, She looked forward to becoming a grandmother.

Sherri grinned and started her assault on Hackett. “How many girlfriends have you had, Mr. Blackwell?”

Juana pinched her daughter’s thigh under the table, thinking she was too blunt. Hackett’s mother was in the room, after all.

“Where are your manners?” Juana thought.

Joy was honest about her son when she discussed the blind date with Juana. Hackett loved to fool around, but she repeatedly guaranteed he was not promiscuous. There were too many women around him, and he refused to settle down with one.

Juana was hesitant at first. She could not accept a man who did not care about the family and fooled around when he was out of the house. However, Juana could not resist Joy’s sincerity and decided to meet Hackett. If he was the right man for her daughter, a prodigal son who returned home was worth more than gold.

Sherri rubbed her aching thigh and waited for a good show to start.

Hackett replied seriously, “One.”

“Do you believe it yourself?” asked Sherri.

“Yes, of course; I believe it. There’s only one. A female companion is not a girlfriend,” said Hackett.

He felt that his logic was acceptable.

“Well, in that case, your definition of girlfriend is quite broad. It’s wider than the sea!” Sherri commented.

Juana was about to pinch her under the table again, but she dodged.

Sherri took a hit just now and had learned to react at lightning speed.

Hackett smiled and said, “Not so. Do you have any hobbies? Do you like to sing or blow balloons?”

“Fuck you, bastard! Why did you spill the beans? You had crossed the line!” Sherri cursed in silence.

He had promised to move on after giving Natalie the contact details.

What a liar!

Sherri was so angry that she wanted to throw a bowl at Hackett. How dare he pretend to be a gentleman when he was a scumbag in reality? She must have punched and kicked him hundreds of times in her mind to vent her anger.

Juana was overjoyed. “How did you know that Sherri likes to sing and blow balloons? Well, she has liked it since she was young. When she was young...”

Sherri quickly stuffed a pastry into Juana’s mouth to stop her from talking. “Mom, I’ll share my past with Hackett later. Why don’t you go shopping with Auntie Joy? I’ll talk to Hackett alone.”

Joy grinned from ear to ear. “Okay, okay. You youngsters have a good chat. Mrs. Landor, let’s go to the mall. I heard about a new clothing store; let’s check it out. Leave the two alone. They’ll feel embarrassed if we are around.”

“All right, Sure! Leave it to the young people.” She patted Sherri’s shoulder on her way out. “Pay attention, and don’t blab like a fool. Do you hear me?”

Sherri nodded obediently.

Soon the private room door closed behind them.

Seconds later, Sherri shouted at Hackett, “What’s wrong with you, Hackett Blackwell? Didn’t you promise not to mention what happened between us?

You are a liar who doesn’t keep your word.”

“You’re anxious then; I did not lie to you. I asked you politely about your preferences. You’re the one who felt guilty and dragged that- matter into it.

Isn’t it the normal procedure for blind dates? Is this your first blind date?” Hackett said.

“Is this what a blind date is all about? This is the first time I’ve been dragged on a blind date. My mother tricked me,” Sherri thought.

“What’s wrong with it being my first time? Is it against the law to go on a first blind date?”

Hackett took off his glasses and leaned against the back of the chair. He tilted his head and looked at her meaningfully. “What a lucky mantam! I’ve taken both your firsts.”

Sherri picked up the tissue pack on the table and threw it at him, Hackett caught it agilely and took a piece of tissue to wipe the frame of his glasses.

“Thank you,” he said politely.

Sherri continued to look for things around her. She wanted to smash him with a bowl but was afraid he would blackmail her if he was hurt. She picked up the coffee beside her and was about to splash it when the door opened.

In walked Natalie, who witnessed the situation at hand.

Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 64 Hackett leaned back in his chair leisurely. Sherri was about to pour coffee all over him. Natalie’s first impression was Hackett did not intend to dodge.

Instead, he was waiting for Sherri’s next move.

“What’s going on? Does Sherri have no respect for herself?” Natalie thought.

She quickly snatched the coffee from Sherri and scanned the two. “What are you doing?”

She was shocked to see Hackett in the room in the first place. She would never have imagined that Sherri’s blind date would be him.” Did Juana Landor not surf the Internet? Tidbits about Hackett were monthly trending topics.

What did Sherri do to make her mother disdainfully push her into the fire pit?

Hackett sat up straight when Natalie came in. He put on his glasses and said, “Why are you here, Natalie?”

“I’m afraid that you guys will fight. Are you really on a blind date?” She wanted to ascertain because she found it unrealistic.

Hackett had always admired Natalie. He was as obedient as a kitten before her. “I didn’t bully her, Natalie. My mother dragged me here. I didn’t know it would be her. Moreover, she threw something at me, but I didn’t retaliate,” he said defensively.

Then he suddenly changed the topic. “It’s almost time for dinner. Why don’t I treat you guys to dinner?”

Sherri said angrily, “Do you think I give a damn about dinner now? Who wants to eat with you? I will be so disgusted I’ll choke to death,”

Natalie inexplicably felt that the couple was compatible enemies.

Natalle did not want to go against Hackett now that he had tried to make up to Sherri.

“No need, Hackett. Sherri and I will go to the hospital canteen for dinner. Do you guys want to continue?”

“Hell no! Let’s go, Natalie. I’m so angry.” Sherri picked up her bag and left without saying goodbye.

Hackett did not ask her to stay. He knew that Sherri was furious. “Then I’ll treat you to a meal next time, Natalie, Bye.”

“Goodbye, and never see you again,” Sherri said scornfully.
