Chapter 99

“Mom, I really don’t want to date right now..” Camila sighed deeply.

“Just meet him first, then decide,” Claire replied, her brow furrowed. “How about this university professor? I’ve already sent your contact Info to the matchmaker”

A few seconds later.

“I’ve sent it.”

“Mom, I’m really swamped with work right now. I don’t have time to meet anyone,” Camila said helplessly.

“Just don’t come to my place this weekend. Go on that date. And no excuses. You can’t be too busy for a simple dinner.”

Claire hoped that her daughter would soon have a family of her own, making up for the incomplete one she could only provide and helping Camila forget the pain her biological father had inflicted.

“Fine, fine, I’ll go on the date,” Camila replied nonchalantly.

Later, the two went grocery shopping at a nearby supermarket. After dinner, Claire refused to let Camila drive her home, so Camila booked a cab for her instead.

After Claire left, Camila called Erica. “Erica, you know everyone. Can you help me find Tabitha’s number?”

“Why do you need to contact that crazy lady?”

Camila told her about Tabitha opening a ravioli restaurant, which infuriated Erica to the point of cursing vehemently. “She’s going to wish I hadn’t found her! I’ll definitely get her number for you!”

“Also, my mom is pushing me into this blind date. How can I tactfully refuse?”

“Why not ask Connor for help?” Erica said excitedly.

“Shut up.”

“Trust me, I know all about dodging dates, so I’ll teach you a few tricks…”

Camila was impressed by her advice.

They talked until midnight, and Erica said, “You better get some sleep. You have to be at Connor’s place in seven hours.”
