Chapter 20
He laughed heartily, teasing her in jest.
“No, I just think it’s too early right now. When the time is right, I’ll invite you to my place.”
On the other end of the phone, he quietly laughed in response to Ember’s agitated explanation.
He teased her, then replied, “Okay, as you said, I’ll wait until the time is right for you to come to my place. I intended to call you early to arrange on a time and place to meet. I’m boarding right now. By the time I get off, it’ll probably be extremely late,”
Immediately following his flight, he was going to see her.
She politely said, “You must be very tired just coming back from your business trip. Why don’t you rest today and we’ll meet tomorrow,” taking into account his exhaustion and considering how anxious Ember would be when they met.
“It’s been so long since I last saw you, but you want to put it off until tomorrow, do you want me to stay up all night? Have you ever heard the saying that one day apart is like three years? According to this saying, my wife, I haven’t seen you in almost a year.
Ember blushed and felt ashamed at his use of the word “wife“.
When he was being so insistent, she was at a loss as to how to object to the hour of their meeting.
She swiftly provided him the location of a coffee shop close to her house and scheduled a time for them to meet before hanging up the phone after a brief pause.
After receiving their marriage license, Ember was quite anxious for their first encounter.
In the afternoon, while she was getting ready, her mother, Mrs. William, burst into her room and grabbed her by the shoulders.
“Ember, I must share with you something.”
Ember was concerned about her mother’s rush and questioned, “What is it?”
“Our neighbor Aunt Lara heard that you’re single again and immediately found a good match for you. This young man not only comes from a good family, but also has a great job and very good conditions. Aunt Lara heard that you’re at home and has already arranged a time and place for you two to meet at a coffee shop tonight at 6:30pm. You should go now.”
“Mom, I have something else to do now.”

As soon as the words left her mouth, she saw the desolate expression on her mother’s face.
The expression made her heart ache, and she immediately changed her mind.
She walked over and hugged her mother Mrs William, coquettishly saying, “What I wanted to say is that no matter how important other matters are, they can’t compare to my blind date. Mom, where is the blind date location? Tell me and I’ll go now.”
Mrs William grinned with delight as soon as she heard her daughter say this.
“The address, the address.”
She mumbled nervously as she dug around in her body’s pockets.
She looked about for a bit and eventually handed her daughter a note with the address printed on it.
Ember learned that the coffee shop was where she had promised to meet Alexander after getting the information from her mother, Mrs. William. Additionally, the timing of their meeting coincided with their blind date.
She wasn’t sure what he would think if he witnessed her blind dating.
It is preferable to avoid collisions.
She wanted to call him to let him know she couldn’t make it, but his phone was off and he was supposed to be on the plane.
Ember ended the call with him and was about to tuck her phone into her purse when it called once more.
She picked up the phone after realizing it was her mother, Mrs. William.
“Hurry and go; after the date, come back and tell Mom how he is. your blind date partner is waiting for you, Ember,”
Her mother passed out on the bed the day before due to her own issue, which had her so enraged. She didn’t want her mother to experience any bodily issues as a result of her current situation.
She hastened to the coffee shop after making her pledge.
She sat down as soon as she saw her blind date partner and then realized that someone else had arrived.
Alexander was at door.
Alexander almost caught everyone’s eye as soon as he walked into the coffee shop. Although his attire was not expensive, not even the most modest clothing could hide his outstanding and attractive disposition.

He made a direct path for Ember while drawing everyone in the coffee shop’s attention.
He approached Ember and saw that the man seated next to her was acting a little oddly. He raised an eyebrow and sat down next to her instead of saying hello.
Ember’s heart started to race as soon as he entered.
She became more anxious when he took a seat next to her.
Ember felt quite awkward because it appeared as though she had been caught in the act.
