Christopher swiftly took Fanny’s hand and reassured her, “Silly girl, I have faith in you.”
“Can you
assist me then?” Fanny said with a distraught look. “I’ve been having trouble cating and sleeping lately.
Just the other day, some villagers came to threaten me in a group, and I- NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
I…”
Tears streamed down her face as she spoke, and she sought solace in Christopher’s embrace.
Christopher gently patted her back and firmly stated, “Don’t worry. I’ll help you, but I need to involve my
parents. I can’t do it alone.”
Fanny understood that even the Kins Family might struggle with this issue, so expecting him to handle
it alone was unreasonable. However, things would become much more manageable with Michael on
board.
She smiled, tenderly kissed his cheeks, and whispered, “Christopher, I knew you wouldn’t abandon me.
You are my pillar from now on, and I will always stand by your side.”
She expressed her affectionate words like a newlywed couple throughout the afternoon, albeit with
restraint due to the hospital setting. Upon leaving the hospital, Christopher headed straight home. As
he was preparing to call his father to inquire about his return, he noticed the presence of guests.
Teresa spotted Christopher and furrowed her brow. “Christopher, where were you this afternoon? I
called you multiple times and sent several messages, but you didn’t respond.”
Despite her reproachful tone, ‘there was a hint of leniency in her voice.
Christopher felt slightly sheepish. ” I’m sorry, Mom. I was out with my friends, and my phone was
silent.”
Having just returned from the hospital, he had not checked his phone promptly.

Teresa smiled and did not dwell on the matter. She gestured to the girl beside her and said,. “Allow me
to introduce Miss Martinez. Sophia, this is my inept son. I hope you can guide him in the future so he
doesn’t remain clueless.”
Sophia blushed slightly, “Ms. Webb, you’re teasing me. I’m not that remarkable,”
Sophia had a beautiful, long black hair that was slightly curled, giving her a vibrant appearance. Her
visage was delicate, with refined features and a gentle smile that revealed a set of pristine, white teeth.
On top of that, her complexion was smooth and fair, exuding a
She extended her hand to Christopher and said, “Hello, I’m Sophia Martinez. Ms. Webb was proactive
during our conversation, so I decided to come over and meet you.”
Sophia was slender, elegantly attired, and carried herself with grace and warmth, emanating a sense of
comfort and ease.
Christopher shook her hand out of courtesy. “I’m Christopher.”
Teresa observed their interaction with a smile, contemplating Sophia’s beauty, confidence, and
elegance. She believed a woman like her would be a suitable partner for her son, aiding him in
business.
Unlike Fanny, who feigned weakness, Sophia displayed generosity and initiative in conversing with
Christopher. Despite any underlying intentions Christopher might have had, he was influenced by her
bubbly personality and engaged in dialogue.
While they were having their time, Teresa prepared dinner in the kitchen.
As evening approached, Sophia suggested departing, but Teresa insisted she stay for dinner,
asserting, “You must stay for dinner tonight, no excuses.”
Sophia replied with a hint of embarrassment, “I’ve been here all afternoon. I don’t want to be a bother
for your family time.”
Teresa dismissed her concerns by saying, “You’re not bothering us. In fact, you young folks have been
patient enough to keep this old lady company all afternoon. I’m truly delighted, not inconvenienced in
the least.”
Sophia chuckled. “Ms. Webb, you look like Christopher’s sister, not an old lady. So, don’t say that.”
Teresa felt genuinely pleased. She did not consider herself old. It was just a modest way of speaking.
With a few words, Sophia stopped declining and agreed to stay for dinner. Michael, who had been
informed early, returned home early to join them for dinner. He understood Teresa’s intentions.
Teresa set up this blind date with Sophia for Christopher, and he was willing to go along. Whoever she
was, she was certainly better than Fanny. The idea of a commoner marrying into the Sanders Family
seemed far–fetched.
The dinner proceeded smoothly, with everyone enjoying themselves. As Sophia prepared to leave,
Teresa asked Christopher to escort her directly.
Sophia waved her hand, saying, “It’s fine, Ms. Webb. I have already called the driver from home. He
will be here soon.”
Teresa gently insisted, “It’s okay. Christopher doesn’t have anything to do anyway. You can call the
driver and tell him not to come. Christopher, Miss Martinez is a guest. You should give her a ride.”
Michael also chimed in, “Yes, go ahead.”
Christopher had no choice but to agree, as he still had matters to discuss with his father. Sophia was
not shy and understood the situation, welcoming more opportunities to get to know each other.
Watching them walk away, Teresa felt increasingly satisfied with how well they matched. During the
ride, Christopher was preoccupied and did not say much.
After some contemplation, Sophia starts the conversation by saying, “You don’t seem very fond of me.”
Christopher was surprised with his furrowed eyebrow, “Pardon?”
“Do you know the purpose of this meeting?”
“Huh?”
“We are on a blind date,” Sophia explained. “But I feel like you are not fully present.”

Upon arriving home, he hurried to Michael’s study. Seeing him back, Michael smiled rarely. “Miss
Martinez’s father just called me and mentioned that you’re not bad.”
Christopher replied with a bright smile. “Dad, I need to discuss something with you.”
In a good mood, Michael nodded. “Go ahead.”
Christopher furrowed his brow, trying to figure out how to articulate his thoughts.
