Skipped at the altar, Taken by his uncle Novel

Chapter 237 Chapter 237 Elton went to drop off some food for Oliver. He just couldn't figure out Oliver's weird obsession with only eating food he was most familiar with. Seriously, he could've had anyone else bring it over. Why did Oliver have to make him play delivery boy for him? Elton glanced at the leftovers in his hand, feeling a twisted sense of satisfaction. For some reason, it felt pretty damn good. Elton said, "Come on, eat up!" Oliver gave him a slightly disdainful look. "This place's food isn't great. And the portion?

What is this, half a box?" Elton cleared his throat and said, "No, seriously, it's not like that. They were out of most of their dishes today, and everyone was fighting over what was left. I actually had to wrestle this from someone else." Oliver arched his left eyebrow, looking doubtful. "Really?" "Come on, Mr. Grant, you should count yourself lucky there's even food at all," Elton teased. Oliver hadn't eaten anything last night. After tiring himself out, he'd slept straight through until the afternoon. He figured he'd grab a bite first, and then go find Joanne.

This time, he was determined that he wasn't going to let her get away. He'd cling to her no matter what. It suddenly hit Oliver. Elton was actually Joanne's arranged date. "Hey, Elton, you're not going on a date date with my girl behind my back, are you?" Oliver said, teasing. Elton's breath caught for a moment. Elton felt a little guilty. "Come on, man, you know I'm not that kind of guy. Bro code, I'd never go after a friend's girl. I've got zero interest in your girl, seriously. Our families are just close, that's all.

I'll talk to my family and make sure they stop pushing us together." Oliver frowned, clearly annoyed. "Seriously, you're not into her? My girl's a total knockout. What, she's not good enough for you now?" Elton just stared at him, dumbfounded. "Bro, are you crazy?" Elton shot back. Oliver scoffed. "Your family's really on your case about this now?" Elton shrugged. "I'm turning thirty next year, so yeah, they're getting anxious. But it's fine. My elder brother's thirty-three and still single, so he's taking most of the heat for now." "Joanne's probably twenty-seven, right?

I bet her grandpa's getting impatient too. Funny thing, her brother's thirty and still not married either," Elton added. "Hey, what about your family? Aren't they on your case about getting married?" Elton asked. Elton accidentally hit a nerve again. If Oliver hadn't just played along with the whole arranged date thing his family set up, planning to bail after a few days, none of this mess would've happened. 780 1 O O O 17:00 Thu, Jan 1 MA Chapter 237 But he had screwed around and ended up losing Joanne over it. "Don't even mention blind dates or arranged marriages to me!" Oliver snapped.

13 86 Vouchers Oliver considered for a moment. He knew he was a catch himself. "Why not ask Joanne's grandpa if I'm good enough?" Elton was left totally speechless, just staring at him like he'd lost his mind. After putting up with Oliver, Elton headed home feeling pretty pleased with himself. As soon as he stepped into the villa, his grandpa was already waiting for him, brows furrowed. "Well, how did it go today?" "Grandpa, Joanne's just not interested in me. Guess I'll just give up and stop pestering her," Elton said. His grandpa suddenly broke into a grin.

"But what if Joanne actually likes you? Looks like you hit the jackpot. Her family thinks you're pretty decent, and they said you two should hang out more and see what happens." Elton froze. 'Wait a sec, didn't we all agree on the plan? Why did you change your mind, Joanne?' Elton thought, totally thrown off. 'If Oliver finds out about this, he'll totally lose it and tear me apart!' Elton thought, sweating bullets. Just remembering how Oliver had treated that poor guy before... "Grandpa, we really aren't a good match! Why don't you call and double-check?

There must've been a misunderstanding," Elton said, trying to sound convincing. "Grandpa, I didn't even get her number. How could she possibly be interested in me?" Elton added, hoping to get his point across. "Oh, really, Elton? After all those etiquette lessons, you still haven't learned how to be a gentleman! Now you're just making up stories and lying right to my face!" his grandpa snapped. "So you think we're just passing around nonsense? Me and Joanne's grandpa are old, but we know what we're doing!" his grandpa shot back. Elton's grandpa decided to settle things once and for all.

He called Joanne's grandpa and said, "Hey, it's me. Has Joanne come home yet?" "Yeah, she's back. She's out in the garden right now. You want to talk to her?" Joanne's grandpa replied. Then, footsteps echoed, and Joanne's lively voice came through the phone. "Hello, Mr. Walker. My grandpa said you wanted to talk to me." "Oh, Joanne. Nothing serious, just wanted to ask, what do you think of my grandson? Is there any chance you two might hit it off?" Elton's grandpa asked. Elton snorted to himself, thinking, 'Just wait, Grandpa, you're about to get proven wrong.

But he never expected the tables would turn on him instead. "Mr. Walker, I think Elton's a really nice man. If there's a chance, maybe we could hang out more," Joanne said. 'What the hell? Why is she saying that?' Elton wondered. 'She's totally setting me up!' Elton thought, feeling trapped. 17:00 Thu, Jan 1 Chapter 237 CITA 155 Vouge's Joanne hung up, feeling guilty. 'Sorry, Elton, but I really don't want to go through another blind date tomorrow, Guess I' just have to go through the motions for now,' she thought. "Did you hear that?" Elton's grandpa shot him a sideways look.

Elton was left totally speechless, unable to defend himself. "Alright, I've sent you her number. Go ahead and reach out to her. Be proactive, be a gentleman, don't act childish, his grandpa said. Elton just watched his grandpa head upstairs, totally at a loss for words. Joanne went back to her room and saw an unfamiliar number on her phone. She hesitated, and then answered, "Joanne, it's me, Oliver. Please, don't hang up, just let me say a couple things, okay?" Oliver sounded a little desperate, "Joanne, I get why you're upset. That whole arranged marriage thing was just a front.

I only did it so my family would stop bugging me. I've always been into you, and I never messed around behind your back. Maybe I wasn't sure about marriage before, but now, you're the only one I want to spend my life with," Oliver said, his voice sincere. Joanne said calmly, "Are you finished?" Oliver felt a pang in his chest. "Yeah... I'm finished." "Good. Now listen to me," Joanne said, her voice icy. "You had so many chances to come clean, but you never did. You just let me find out the hard way." "You said you couldn't trust marriage.

Well, now I can't trust you." "The girl who trusted you is gone. So don't bother me while I'm talking to my date. Goodbye." Oliver tried calling back, but as expected, he was blocked again. Not ready to give up so easily, he called Elton, his only friend abroad. "Hey, can you help me find out who Joanne's latest blind date is?" Elton blinked, caught off guard. "Hello? Are you even listening to me?" Oliver urged, his voice tinged with impatience, Elton gave a sheepish laugh. "Yeah, I'm listening. Give me some time. It's not that easy to find out.

You know my grandpa's threatening to cut off my cards because of all this blind date drama..." "I just transferred it to you. 3 million. That should be enough to get me a name, right?" Oliver said, not missing a beat. Elton was left speechless, not sure whether to laugh or cry. "Yeah, that's more than enough!" Elton blurted out, feeling a mix of relief and disbelief. He couldn't help but feel like he'd just shot himself in the foot. ***** And just his luck, right after hanging up with Oliver, Joanne messaged him asking to fake it with her again. [Are you free tomorrow? Wanna grab a coffee?

Please play along. You don't want to go on another blind date, right?] Chapter 237 [Can't you pick someone else for this? If Oliver finds out, I'm dead meat.] [Relax, just don't let him know.] [Fine.] Oliver thought the AC in his hotel room was way too cold, and he suddenly sneezed. 'Someone must be talking about me behind my back, he grumbled to himself. 田 AD Comment Send gift No Ads admin
