Chapter 672 [Bonus Chapter] One Night Stand
Alveena was thinking about pairing her brother up with Bianca. She thought that the two would make a great combination.
With that thought in mind, Alveena tried to ask Bianca about her blind dates.
"Bianca, what time is your date? Are you not late?"
Bianca, who was still arguing with Clifford, moved her attention back to Alveena.
"Oh, it's alright. We will have a dinner date at around 6:00 in the evening. I am free right now, killing time by strolling around the mall."
"Oh, that's great. We still have time to talk and have some catching up. Do you mind if I will keep you company for a while?" Alveena asked Bianca while secretly assessing her brother's reactions.
Since the two ladies started talking again, Clifford felt like he was out of place. His presence had been forgotten by the two ladies. Or they were intentionally ignoring him.
Clifford just continued following the two ladies. He was still cautious about the strange men who were following them a while ago.
Since Bianca had a background in the military, Clifford was thinking about asking her opinion regarding his observation. What if those men were really following them? He had to make sure about that.
Clifford made a mental note that he would talk to Bianca once Alveena was done interviewing her. He didn't know why but Alveena kept on asking Bianca about her blind date and she was intentionally making her voice loud for him to hear.
Unknowingly, Clifford was secretly listening to Bianca's answer. He was a little bit curious as well. But he was pretending he didn't care and he was not listening to them.
"Bianca, what made you decide to go blind dates? You told us before that having a boyfriend was too troublesome for you. You even turned down lots of your suitors in the military."
Alveena was saying this out loud for her brother to hear. She knew that her brother would never ask about Bianca's personal life.
So this was one way of telling his brother that Bianca also had lots of suitors. That only meant Bianca was charismatic too even though she was not a typical girl.
"Hmm, well my parents pressure me. Mom will not stop bugging me if I don't introduce a man as my boyfriend." Bianca sighed as she recalled how her mom cried and pestered her about her relationship.
"Sigh, imagine. She signed up on a dating app. She used my profile and my pictures without my knowledge! Then just this weekend she informed me that I have to attend and show up for today's blind date or else, she will disown me as her daughter!" Bianca lamented to Alveena.
She felt like crying as she was left with no choice. She valued her family so much. They were family-oriented. She knew her mother was just threatening her but who knew that her mother would truly disown her once she disobeyed her.
"Gosh! Alvee, they are demanding me to give them a grandchild already! Do you think should I just have a one-night stand and get pregnant so that they will stop nagging me? I'm tired of listening to their ranting. They make me feel like I am not fulfilling my duty as their daughter who should give them grandchildren!"
"Cough! Cough!" Clifford choked on his saliva after hearing her bold remarks.
'What did I hear? She prefers to have a one-night stand, instead of a serious relationship with a man!' Clifford subconsciously arched his eyebrow.
Alveena wanted to laugh out loud but hold herself back since there were other people around them. She knew that Bianca was just kidding about having one nightstand. She just wanted to vent out her frustrations.
"Oh, One nightstand? That's not a bad idea either!" Alveena said, playing along with her.
Clifford had the urge to butt in because Alveena was influencing and urging Bianca to do a one-night stand. He couldn't believe that Alveena would advise her friend to do that.
He was about to speak up when Alveena made another suggestion to Bianca.
"Ahem, How about this, Bianca? If you will do a one-night stand, I have a perfect candidate for you. Why don't you consider my brother? Though his attitude is unlikable, his genes are one of a kind. My brother is undeniably handsome. It will give you a charming child!" Alveena proudly said, becoming a wing woman for the two.
Bianca: "..."
Clifford: "..."
Both Bianca and Clifford looked at Alveena in disbelief. How could she blatantly suggest that in front of her brother?
Bianca simply glanced at Clifford, wondering if he heard it or not. On the other hand, Clifford pretended that he didn't hear anything as he darted his gaze in his surroundings, not looking at Alveena and Bianca.
Bianca pulled Alveena right away before she responded to her. She made sure that they were far away from Clifford.
Meanwhile, Clifford frowned upon seeing Bianca dragging Alveena away. He saw her whispering something to Alveena. He got curious about her response.
'Damn! I can't hear them from here!' Clifford complained as he watched the two ladies from a distance.
The moment he got near them, Alveena and Bianca were already talking about a different thing. Clifford got annoyed since he didn't hear Bianca's response.
"Forget it! That woman will definitely not consider it. The two of us are like nemesis!" Clifford murmured to himself.
"By the way, do you know who your blind date is? Have you seen his picture? What does he look like?" Alveena asked Bianca curiously.
"Hmm, All I know is that he is a businessman. I saw his picture once. My mother showed me his picture from the dating app. He is also good-looking, that's why I agree with this blind date." Bianca said, giggling.
"Hey, are you thinking about having a one-night stand with your date tonight?" Alveena asked Bianca with a teasing smile. She glanced at her brother and she caught him frowning.
"Hmm, it depends. Haha, we will see!" Bianca was laughing.
The two ladies were just joking around but Clifford misunderstood it. He thought Bianca was truly planning to do it tonight.
'This woman… She is insane! And it annoys me!' Clifford mumbled to himself. His face could no longer be painted.
'Wait? Why am I reacting like this? Who cares if she will sleep with a random guy? I don't care. It's her life.'
Then his inner self talked back to him. 'But… it's not right. Besides, she saved my life once when I got drunk. I think I am concerned about her just a little bit,' Clifford justified his feelings.
It did not take long when Bianca's phone rang. Her blind date was calling her. She answered her phone right away. After talking to him for a few minutes, Bianca hung up the phone.
"Alvee, my blind date is here. He is on the way to meet us!" Bianca informed Alveena excitedly.
"Oh great! I wanna see him. Let me judge if the two of you are a good match. If not, then I will ship you to someone I know."
For some unknown reason, Clifford was also curious about the looks of Bianca's blind date.
After a few minutes of waiting, Bianca's blind date arrived. The four of them met at the main entrance of the Department Store.
"Huh? Is he your blind date?" Alveena asked Bianca with her wide eyes.
"Yes, he is! He looks the same in the picture."
Aside from Alveena, Clifford was also looking at the man with a stunned expression.
"Hey, Alveena, Clifford, what are you doing here? Do you know each other?" The man asked Alveena, Clifford, and Bianca.
The man in front of them was none other than Brandon.
