Ernest smiled and said, "Mrs. lais, there's nothing wrong with him; he's quite healthy. It's just that he has always put his focus on work, so he doesn't have tto date. As twent on, he didn't have much interest in dating anymore." At that, he suddenly paused.
Why was he only talking about Quill's flaws and nothing good? How would he be able to set him up this way? What if Vera's mother thought that he was saying all these just to shher daughter? Sure enough, when Ernest raised his head, he saw Mabie's eyes had becsomewhat resentful.
It was normal. After all, no one would want their daughter to be taken advantage of, and his description of his friend sounded questionable.
"I'm sorry, I mean to say that my friend has a successful career, but he is not as experienced when it comes to relationships. He doesn't have any unhealthy habits; he doesn't smoke, drink or gamble. I noticed Miss Zais has a decent temperament, so I thought I could set her up with my friend. I'm sorry if I offended you." Mabie felt a lot better after listening to his explanation.
"It's not a big deal that he isn't experienced in relationships but... Vera looks rather average. Since your friend has a successful career, I'm sure he's used to seeing all kinds of beautiful women, yet he still hasn't managed to find anyone he likes. So why would he..." What Mabie meant was that the man didn't show interest in stunning women, so why would he be interested in an ugly duckling like Vera.
Vera looked at Mabie with resentment as she stood beside her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDid her mother really give birth to her? Why does she have to attack her like this all the time? Ernest found Vera and Mabie's relationship amusing. He composed himself and said, "When my wife and I first got together, she would always complain about the beautiful women around me, but as tpassed, it was no longer an issue. There are many good-looking people on this planet, but it's rare to find an interesting soul. It's important to find someone with a soul that connects to you." Mabie was at a loss for words.
She blinked.
Ernest's words were deep and philosophical, but Mabie still understood what he was trying to say. He had meant to say that there would be many beautiful women out there, but a compatible personality was what would make the relationship last.
"Perhaps... I'll try to call him? Maybe you two could meet next time?" Vera finally couldn't help but say euphemistically, "Mr. Lowell, I'm really grateful for your thought, but right now, my focus is on this restaurant, and I'm afraid that I might not have tto deal with other things. I'm really sorry. Truly..." She expressed her apologies to him deeply. She hadn't expected Ernest to set her up with someone. She still had someone in her heart, and she didn't think it was a good idea to be set up with another person Therefore, before she could completely get over her feelings for Quill, she would not be going on any dates or have any progress in her love life.
Since she had been back home, she had been introduced to quite a few dates, but she rejected them all. Because of that, rumors and gossip arose.
"That's okay. Since your focus is not on this, we can talk about it again when you have the time. I don't think my friend has any plans to get married in these two years anyway. Although..." Ernest raised his eyebrows and held a pregnant pause. "I may be wrong, but I think he would actually get married instantly if he finds true love." Vera was bewildered.
At this point, Vera thought that Ernest was acting strange. Why was he still telling her about his friend? It had nothing to do with her at all.
However, perhaps because he had a close relationship with that friend, and he couldn't help but bring it up. Therefore, she didn't take it to heart. So Vera smiled at him and did not answer.
It could be seen that she was indeed not interested. Ernest didn't insist further and left after staying for awhile. Vera breathed a sigh of relief.
Mabie glanced at Vera. "You brat, I think you want to be single forever, don't you? Hearing this, Vera shrugged helplessly and then smiled, "I don't think being single is a bad thing." In the afternoon, a customer suddenly asked Vera a question.
"Madam, why doesn't your restaurant do delivery? I wanted to order food from your restaurant on thebut I didn't manage to find it. Sometimes I feel exhausted after getting hfrom work and really don't feel like dining out but really miss your pasta here, why don't you provide delivery service?" Delivery service? Vera had never thought about this before because thewould charge a certain amount of fee, and it was not cheap. Also, pasta wouldn't taste as good if it was not being consumed within a short amount of time.
Vera had never thought about putting her restaurant on the app.
Seeing the man in front of her was a regular customer, Vera replied, "I'll think about doing delivery service then. I'll cout with a card by then, but if it gets too busy in the restaurant, we won't do delivery." "It's okay, as long as there is a delivery service. It's better than nothing!" After that, Vera went back to discuss with her parents. David instantly nodded in agreement.
"Let's do it then! We should charge for the delivery. I don't know how to cook, but I sure know my way around North City. I can go anywhere; letdo it." "Dad." Vera frowned. "You're not that old, but you're not young anymore either. If I were to have you out to send deliveries, I might as well not open the restaurant."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"What nonsense are you talking about? How dare you underestimate your father like this? Don't you know speople get stronger as they get older? What's wrong with helping my daughter with food delivery? Vivy, you just focus on the business and leave all the errands to Dad." David said with overflowing love for her daughter. Vera's eyes started to tear up.
"It's all right, Vivy. Let him do it. It's good for his health to move around."
After the matter was settled, Vera quickly made it happen. She got people to print ncards for her restaurant.
urant. Then, she got a delivery phone number and a delivery platform. After it was all done, she gave out the ncards to her customers and hopefully they would contact the restaurant if they were interested in ordering food.
There weren't many people who called for delivery in the beginning, and all the deliveries were done by e David. Then, more orders started to cin, and Vera didn't want her father to do it alone, so she started sending deliveries herself too. On weekends, Sam would cover and help too.
After stime, Vera's parents found Sam very likable. Sometimes Mabie would say to Vera in private.
"Sam seems like a great guy. I think you should consider him." Vera felt a headache from Mabie's words. Vera had told Sam many times that he didn't have to help her at the restaurant anymore because she won't be able to repay him. Sam told her that she didn't need to, and he did it of his free will.
Therefore, she wanted to pay him a salary, but he refused. Then, Vera insisted that he shouldn't canymore. Who knew that he would still cto the restaurant to help every weekend despite her asking him not to. Vera felt troubled.
"Mom, stop bringing it up. We are never going to be together." X "Why not? Are you still thinking of the man who broke up with you? What is there about him for you to hold on to? Sam is a great guy. Don't throw away something great for something lesser." "What are you talking about? Love is about fate, and you're not supposed to force it. Why do you make it sound like it's a deal?" Quill would appear the next day...
