Chapter 271
Alyss a had to wonder if her suitors truly fell for her charm underneath her hideous appearance or ifthey were too eager to marry the daughter of Winston Taylor. Even she would bar f at her own face.How did they remain calm in front of her?
Power was indeed a great motivator, prompting her suitors to turn a blind eye to her looks.
Thankfully, she had plan B ready.
During her lunch with the first suitor, she suggested showing off her talent by reading his fortunethrough palmistry.
She informed the man that he had the health of a seventy-year-old despite being only thirty, causing hisface to fall as he stormed out of the venue.
During her tea break with the second suitor, she kept staring at the space
behind the man until he felt a shiver down his spine.
“Ms. Taylor, what are you staring at?”
“Dylan, there’s a kid standing behind you.He’s looking at you. Are you sure you don’t want him to joinus?”Her voice took a creepy turn. He looks … pretty … pitiful …”
Dylan Coppola fled the scene before the end of the date.novelbin
It was Felton Cruz’s turn next. Alyssa did not talk to him much during the musical. They were at peacewith each other for a while.
After sitting through the musical, she was invited to dinner by Felton.”Ms. Taylor, I had a great time withyou. Would you join me for dinner?”
“Sure, I’d love to.” She smiled andgrabbed her canvas bag.
Felton hadn’t paid much attention to her
bag at the start. He noticed a line on her canvas bag when he did a double take. It read,”BelbanksPsychiatric Residential Treatment.”
“Felton, what are you doing standingthere?” She blinked at him innocently.
Ashen-faced, he stumbled backward and stammered, “Uh,I … I suddenly remember I have somethingto attend to. Let’s do another day!”
Alyssa and Sean arrived at their final venue of the day. It was a nice and quiet café. The scent of tealeaves wafted in the air and calmed their nerves.
The environment reminded her of Heightsnew Villa. It seemed that the fourth sui tor had accidentallyfound a place to her taste. Therefore, she decided to go easy on him.
Alyssa had spent a day fooling around with the scions on her blind dates while
Sean watched on with fright.
“Ms. Alyssa, you might have forced theminto giving up on you, but what if they spread gossip about youlater?” Sean looked concerned.”Gossip always spreads like wildfire. I’m worried that it might affect yourreputation in Solana City.”
“That’s even better. I would like the menout there to think of me as a mentally ill woman.” She calmlyadded more freckles to her face with an eyeliner pencil. “That will ruin Winston’s plan to force me into
blind dating. He’s too old to fight against me.”
Sean was speechless at her thought process.
“To be honest, Sean, it would be nice torun into a soulmate at this time in my life. “She put away hermakeup and lamented,”That way, I won’t have to rush from ablind date to another.”
Upon hearing that, Sean felt a rush of
emotions and looked at her with deep eyes. He shared the same wish, except that his soulmate washer.
“Winston is a sly old fellow. Even if Isurvived this, he might make another wicked move against me.”
“You’re still Mr. Winston’s favorite. Whenyou were away, he often said that you resembled him the mostin terms of personality,” Sean revealed with a smile.
Alyss a chuckled.”He was taking a jab at me. Couldn’t you tell?”
Sean was entertained by her words. His phone buzzed, and he quickly took a look.
“Ms. Alyssa, the last sui tor of the day hasarrived.”
“Got it.”
Sean left for an adjacent room to make space for the two.
During the wait, Alyssa rested her cheek on her palm, looking bored. She stared out
of the window and closed her eyes to enjoy the tranqui l environment, the scent of the flowers, and thebirdsong.
At that moment, she heard the door opening with a creak, followed by steady and heavy footsteps fromleather shoes.
When the man was near her, she picked up a crisp and layered scent from him. It was like a nightbreeze that swayed her heart.
The scent was a mix of violet leaf and soft flowers. It was a rare combination for men.
Alyssa might be allergic to smoke, but she was exceptionally sensitive toward fragrances and spices.
She opened her eyes a little and lay her eyes on his face. Soon, she gaped and stared at him.
“Sorry for making you wait, Ms. Taylor.”
