The Returning Ex

Elder Mr. Bailey was stunned as he turned around to face Isabelle. “You don’t like John anymore? But I thought you’ve always liked him?”

Isabelle sighed. “I was in denial back then, but I finally understand now. It’s useless when my love toward him is just one-sided. Since he doesn’t like me, there’s no use liking him anyway. Moreover, I’m already tired. I just want to find someone who loves me back.”

Then, Elder Mr. Bailey raised his hand and patted Isabelle’s shoulder. “You shouldn’t rush it. Some things will come even though it might take a little longer.”

Isabelle glanced at Elder Mr. Bailey’s face before she continued, “But I don’t want to wait any longer. I’ve been waiting for so long and I don’t know how much longer I should wait at this point. I’m exhausted. If my date goes well, an addition in the family can also lighten up the mood in the family and my parents might be able to walk out from what happened to Dexter. It might actually be good for the family.”

The old man sighed. “Belle, a blind date is really not as easy as what you think. I’ve asked around my family friends, but none of their children stand out, so even if you were to be matchmade with them, you might not find the person that you’re looking for.”

Isabelle smiled at that. “I don’t ask for much. It’s fine as long as they’re nice to me and keep me close at heart. I don’t really care about anything else as we all shouldn’t be too ungrateful. It’s alright if they don’t stand out.”
