NovelBarChapter 2778 Waylen chuckled and casually teased, “I'm just worried you haven't found a girlfriend yet! What about that secretary of yours from before? Ross told me you were interested in her. What? Did you scare her away?” Marcus really didn't want to talk about it, so he grabbed a magazine from the coffee table and said briskly, “We weren't a good match.” “Is that so?" Waylen felt somewhat disappointed. From what he had heard from Ross, things were going well between the young couple, but it turned out that his information was wrong.

You can set us up on a blind date.” Despite going through such a painful break up, he didn't feel the need for emotional consolation.
He just thought that since things with Melissa didn’t pan out the way he expected, he might as well find another suitable woman to marry.
Waylen heaved a sigh of relief, but his heart still felt heavy.
Truth be told, he was actually hoping that Marcus would refuse.
But because his son agreed to the blind date so readily, his heartbreak became more painfully obvious.
Marcus picked at his food. Once the meal was over, he excused himself and retired to his bedroom upstairs.
Evelyn followed him upstairs, hoping her uncle would read her a story.
