Predestined Marriage

The glimmer of smile deepened in Jerome's eyes, "Tell me your phone number."

Summer gave Jerome her phone number.

After storing the number into his phone, Jerome said, "Are you going back now? Let me drive you home."

Summer, of course, would not get on his car.

"Don't bother. I can go back by myself."

Jerome did not force her. "Goodbye, then."

Seeing Jerome's car off, Summer took a taxi home.

After taking a shower, she received a phone call from Eliza.

Eliza asked as soon as Summer answered the phone, "Did Bowen say anything after I left?"

"What do you expect?" Summer took the rare chance to tease her.

In fact, she knew that Eliza liked Bowen.

However, she was rather surprised. Bowen seemed to have been born into a poor family. Judged by the way he acted, he was a stable man, calm but not dull.

It was easy for a woman to fall in love with him.

Eliza looked extremely anxious. “Tell me quickly if he said anything!"

Summer advised her, "Why don't you ask him yourself?"

"Well, it's a long story," Eliza sighed.

In the end, Summer told her the truth, "He did ask me what we had talked about, but I asked him to go to you. Are you happy with that?"

After a moment of silence, Eliza said at the end of the phone in a faint voice, "I don't think he will come."
