Hearing this, Brenda screamed, "Why not? Of course not!!!" Her scream was extremely harsh; Olivia could only cover her ears.
"Madam Duncan, please watch out for your image!" Only then did Brenda restrained her emotions. She massaged her face and said helplessly, "It's your fault my image is ruined." "Oh, c'mon, Mom, your image won't be ruined if you don't get mad. Besides, I'm right. This is how I usually look. I would have to look the sgoing to the blind date. If I dressed up beautifully on the date and looked sloppy after he marries me, wouldn't I scare him, and he'd ask for a divorce?" After hearing this, Brenda wanted to roll her eyes, but after sthought, she held back. She was a lady who paid special attention to her image.
But facing Olivia, Brenda discovered her image that she was proud of was shattered into a thousand pieces. "Mom, am I right? You see, if he still fancieseven when I look like this, it'll mean he likes the real me. But if I dress up, it means that he likes my appearance only. Mom, do you want your daughter to find someone who truly likesor just likes my appearance?" Brenda glanced at Olivia and said with a sneer, "You're saying things so matter-of-factly. Don't think that I don't know what you are planning. You just want to scare off men with this look, don't you? You won't be able to scare men away if you at least tidy yourself up daily. You are my daughter. I am still confident when it comes to our looks." Olivia sighed with sadness. "Every man in the world loves beauty with good looks. But even if I've inherited your good looks, it won't stay the sforever. Mom, didn't you marry Dad because he was the only one who didn't fall for your good looks?" Brenda didn't reply.
Brenda was upset at the mention of Ollie's father. She was outstanding when she was younger; a lot of men pursued her. But in the end? Ollie's father was like a nerd. When his friend asked if she looked pretty, he actually scratched his head and said she looked fine.
Fine? At that time, Brenda was the belle of the school, but in his eyes, she was just fine? But she fell head over heels for this kind of fool later because that fool would look for her in the heavy rain at midnight just to give her an umbrella. After that, he would leave her like the fool he was.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFor the first time, Brenda was moved, and then the two of them got together.
Much later, Brenda asked Olivia's father why he had sent her an umbrella back then. Was it because he liked her? Who would've thought he actually said no. He just felt pitiful that she, a girl, did not have an umbrella on a rainy night, so...
Brenda was so angry that she almost broke up with him because she found out that she was self-sentimental. She had so many pursuers. Why was she with a person who didn't like her? Fortunately, that blockhead caught on later. He asked her to stay and said that he loved her talents and so on.
Olivia loved this story so much she even turned it into a short later. It actually sold rather well.
"This proves how precious a man like my father is. He's the kind of man who gave you an umbrella in the rain without any motives. I'm afraid there will be no one else like this in this world." Brenda was at a loss for words.
She was livid because she thought Olivia was right. She had no reason to refute her.
After all, after years of marriage, it could be said that Brenda was rather spoiled. She didn't have to do anything; all she needed to do was to look beautiful.
Olivia knew her mother was moved by her words, so she hugged her arm with a smile, "Mom, if only I could be as lucky as you to find a like man Dad. A man won't caret what you look like at all if he truly likes you. So it's okay forto go to the blind date wearing this, isn't it?" Brenda sneered. "Don't think I'll let you off just because you mentioned your father..Go back to your room and get dressed. If you don't put on makeup or good-looking clothes today, don't you even think of going back to your place for the rest of this month." Olivia was speechless.
Two minutes later, Olivia was pushed into her room.
Brenda had set up the room. Many things were considered strange to Olivia, such as colorful dresses, semi- transparent high heels, and various lipsticks and eyeshadows.
It seemed that Brenda had prepared everything.
She went all out for her to go on this blind date.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOlivia was not in a hurry. She took out her phone and texted Tiana as she laid on the bed.
When Tiana learned that she went hfor a blind date, she couldn't help gloating on the phone.
"Look at you now. Hahaha. Blind date? Who told you not to find a boyfriend? You're forced to go on blind dates." Olivia's face was gloomy. "You dare to laugh? Do you believe I won't accompany you to find your Prince Charming ever again?"
Tiana immediately becserious, "Oh, Ollie, you are too pitiful. How can Auntie do this to you? Boyfriends aren't necessary. Your mom shouldn't force you to do this if you don't want to." Olivia was at a loss for words.
"What should I do now? She askedto dress up. Otherwise, she wouldn't letgo back to my place. She will keephere for half a month." "So be it then. There is someone
who will cook for you at home. All you have to do is eat and sleep, and sleep and eat. I don't see a problem with that!" You don't see a problem? Do you think I am unemployed? Those scripts are not going to write themselves!" Olivia couldn't help shouting. "Yeah... why don't... why don't you go on the blind date?"
"What?" "Ahem, there is another way out. Find someone to pretend to be your boyfriend and show him in front of your mother. Maybe she won't force you to go on blind dates in the future?" Hearing those words, Olivia sneered. "What kind of lousy idea is this? Do you believe that if I bring my boyfriend to her, she will force us to get married in the next second?" "Your mom is so scary," Tiana exclaimed.
"I think so too. She can love whoever she wants, but why can't I do the same? She even said I'm old. I'm just a young girl!" "Pfft, sure. You, a young girl? You're closing to 30!" Olivia wanted to roll her eyes. "Back to business, cand help me. I don't want to be stuck at hfor the rest of the month." "How? You only have two choices now. One is to go to the blind date obediently, and the other is to tell your mother you have a boyfriend." "Are you kidding me, Tiana Fisher? How can I go to the blind date obediently? And what's the other lousy idea? Tell my mom I have a boyfriend? I don't have a boyfriend at all, okay?" X
