As the male lead of this hoo-ha, the man who had horn-rimmed glasses, broke the silence, asking

sincerely, “Skylar, I’m Jackson. Have you forgotten about me?”

Lily’s eyes gleamed in excitement as she exclaimed, “What? Does that mean both of you are

acquainted? Great! Fate must have brought you guys together again!”

Skylar started sizing Jackson up after she heard his name. After racking her brain, she finally recalled

the identity of the man in front of them.

Jackson was her classmate who had always taken a seat by her side back in their junior high school

days. She once received a confession letter from him during their senior high school days.

It had been so many years, yet he hadn’t changed a single bit. He still had the same geeky look.

During their school days, students were arranged into different classes based on their family

backgrounds. Since they were both from a relatively normal background, they were treated as outcasts

of the school and dispatched to a relatively subpar class.

She could vividly recall the tough condition of Jackson’s family back in the day. Yet, he seemed

different as compared to the last time they met. He was dressed up lavishly as though he was from a

well-off family.

The confused Skylar replied indifferently, “I guess I do.”

Jackson responded with a goofy smile and indicated his intention to engage in a conversation with

Skylar in private.

The rest of the party thought things would work out between them just fine because they caught a

glimpse of Jackson’s smile.

Sharon couldn’t suppress her joy anymore as she started planning the distribution of the wealth she

would soon acquire.

Three hundred thousand! I’ll never give Skylar a hundred fifty thousand! If worse comes to worst, I’ll

give her thirty thousand and chase her off!

As long as I get my hands on the three hundred thousand, I won’t have to wrack my brain to collect the

fees for my sons’ education anymore!

Jackson went after Skylar with his head hanging low.

In the end, Skylar stopped by an ice cream store and got herself a serving of ice cream and a bottle of

soda.

She had a sweet tooth—after getting her cravings fixed, she would be in a great mood.

Jackson dared not look at Skylar in the eyes, but he mustered his courage and said, “Skylar, you have

always been a gorgeous woman ever since our high school days.”

“You’re quite a capable man as well. I’m still trying to get myself a degree, yet you’re already involved

in the corporate world. How did you manage to be ahead of our peers?”

“You shouldn’t take my mother’s words seriously because she’s just kidding. I have quit school after

senior high because of my despairing results. Due to the family’s condition, I couldn’t afford to further

my study anymore.”

The mother and son duo’s words were contradicting as Jackson had stated the exact opposite of Lily.

Skylar pursed her lips and frowned because she had her fair share of doubts. “How can you not afford

to further your studies when your mother has saved up the money for your wedding?”

The geeky man shook his head. “I have no idea, Skylar. Out of the blue, she told me she would get me

a wife. I didn’t expect it would be you!”

He took a deep breath and mustered his courage to look at Skylar in the eyes, confessing the affection

he had for her, “I-I can’t believe fate has brought us together once again. Skylar, will you marry me? I

have a crush on you since our junior high days! Don’t worry! You’ll become the happiest woman on this

planet after we get married!”

Goosebumps sprang up all over Skylar’s bare arm when she heard Jackson’s confession. She felt

uncomfortable and couldn’t wait to leave him.

She turned him down without a second thought. “I won’t get married to you, Jackson! Pull yourself

together! I have been set up!”

Jackson adjusted his glasses and assured Skylar, “I’ll take good care of you for the rest of our lives!

Trust me! You’ll be the happiest woman on this planet!”

Tobias’ words are so much more reliable as compared to this fancy promise. Instead of this seemingly

empty promise, the uncertain future Tobias has mentioned seems far more achievable.

Skylar had no intention to carry on with the absurd conversation they had. After she footed the bill, she

departed and left the man behind, running away from him as fast as she could.

Jackson repeated Skylar’s name, yet she didn’t bother to stop at all.

The dejected man returned to Wesley and shrugged his shoulders helplessly, indicating the outcome of

the blind date. Lily asked, “Where’s Skylar?”

Jackson sniffled and told his mother, “She said she would never marry me! Mom, I’m serious about

Skylar! I have a crush on her ever since our junior high days! Are you sure she’s going to marry me?”
