"Vivy, meet Sheridan. Sheridan, this is Vivy. Both of you should get to know each other," Amelia introduced them. His eyes moved towards Vera and he reached out his hand for a handshake.
"Hello, my name is Sheridan Lewis."
"Vera Zais."
The two of them introduced themselves and shook hands. He politely withdrew his hands when she withdrew hers.
"Vivy, you can ask Sheridan to help you with anything. Anyway, it's a weekend and he doesn't have to go to work." After that, Amelia looked at Mabie and winked at her. "Mabie, can you accompany me to the nearby market?"
She obviously knew what this meant. Going to the market was just an excuse to leave these two youngsters alone. She gave her daughter a worried look and only left after Vera returned her look with a nod.
After they left, Vera said, "You don't have to help in the restaurant. Feel free to have a seat somewhere. I'll get you something to eat; it's my treat." Sheridan smiled and said, "It's alright. Amelia told me that your restaurant's busy, so I can help you with anything you need. Although I don't know much about it, I can try to learn."Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
He had a humble attitude as he spoke, not arrogant at all. Vera didn't dislike him, but she didn't particularly like him either.
It was impossible for her to have any feelings for him. Her heart was occupied by someone else. She didn't even reciprocate when Sam had treated her so well. How could it be possible to have feelings for a blind date?
She always felt that she'd agreed to this out of spite, but... She just felt that it was possible to forget Quill.
She wanted to prove that she could move on from him.
She would definitely be able to lead a happy life. She could accept someone else.
Her employees exchanged eye contact and kept their thoughts to themselves, as there was an unfamiliar man in the restaurant.
Sheridan was very nice to Vera. He knew his place and did not ask uncomfortable questions. He was a quick learner and helped her a lot during the day.
When it was time for dinner, he chuckled and said,
"This was really an eye-opener, I've learned a lot today. How about I come again tomorrow to help you? I don't have to work tomorrow anyway, and I've got nothing to do at home."
She considered for a moment and nodded.
"Okay."
"I'm looking forward to seeing you tomorrow, Miss Zais. I'll head off now," he said.
"Okay, bye," she replied
After he left, Mabie came up and put her arms around Vera's neck.
She asked, "How was it? Did you guys get along well? If you don't like him, I will reject him for you. It doesn't matter."
"I promised to let him come over tomorrow to help," she said.
Upon hearing that, Mabie was shocked. "You like him?"
"No, I don't."
"Then why did you..."
"I'm single, and he is a nice guy. Why not give it a try. Anyway, no one wants me."
Mabie said, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's impossible for no one to want you! Vivy, tell me the truth, did you agree to this blind date today out of spite? Did you do it on purpose?"
It was true that she had, but Vera didn't want to admit it. She bit her lip and said, "No, I just felt that what Amelia said made sense. As long as we live, we shouldn't force things. Instead of being unhappy at everything, why not enjoy what we have."
"It's good that you think so."
The next day, Sheridan came again and helped Vera a lot. He asked her for her phone number before he left.
He was very smart. As he got along with her these few days, he did not mention anything about the blind
date, nor did he ask manyet
He wouldn't cause any
awkwardness at all. No one could say that they were in sync, but his actions and words were appropriate.
She felt a little weird. How could such a man be single?
Leaving aside the fact that he had a house and a stable job, he should have been able to win the hearts of many girls just by his personality.
However, she was not familiar with him, and she was not sure if they would actually know each other for long, so she did not ask him any personal questions.
On the third day, Sheridan came to the restaurant after work. He treated Vera's parents very well, and even helped David deliver food a couple of times. Therefore, David liked him. Even Mabie gradually felt that he wasn't too bad.
In fact, he was pretty perfect.
Amelia waited for Vera's family to get home before visiting them.
"Vivy, I heard that you and Sheridan have been getting along!"
Vera didn't know how to answer and smiled awkwardly. Mabie said, "They've only known each other for a few days. It's going to take some time to determine if they'll become more than that."
She was implying that Amelia was rushing it.
Amelia was thick-skinned and said with a smile, "That's true, but you got along quite well at the beginning, didn't you? There shouldn't be any problems in the future."
"Hey, who knows? Who knows what will happen in the future? Amelia, I'm sorry if I'm being forward, but nowadays, many youngsters tend to hide their true colors. You'll never know until they come clean. As parents, we should always be cautious, right?" Mabie said.
"Yes, but don't you worry. Why would
I introduce him to Vivy if Sheridan wasn't a decent man? After all, she is so beautiful and talented, isn't she? I always choose the best choices when matchmaking." "Really?" Mabie smiled. "But theard that you introduced a man to someone else's daughter and she ended up being a victim of domestic violence after they got married.
When Amelia heard this, her expression changed, and she explained, "How am I the one to blame? Both of them should take responsibility for that. The woman must have been disobedient, or she must have done something unforgivable."
Mabie glared at her. "He could have filed for divorce if he couldn't forgive her. Why should he hit her? Amelia, do you think he was right to hit her?"
Afraid of making it worse, Amelia quickly explained herself.
"No, no. Mabię, don't get so agitated. I just thought that we should view this objectively. There must be some reason that it resulted in domestic violence. It's definitely wrong to hit someone. Besides, that's someone else. I've watched Vivy grow up, and treated her like my own daughter. Why would I hurt her?"
Vera was shocked as she listened to their conversation.
Was Amelia really reliable?
It didn't look like she was at all.
However, after getting to know Sheridan for two days, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with him.
Mabie asked Vera to come to her room after Amelia had left.
"What do you think about Sheridan?"
Vera hesitated then replied, "I guess he is okay?"
