Chapter 846 Meet Again (Part One)

Lawrence knew that he was in big trouble now because his Aunt Selina was being a big wet hen.

"Aunt Selina," Lawrence called out gently. He was trying not to infuriate her again.

"Lawrence, how could you ask Mike to go to the blind date on your behalf? Does that mean you will

also let him marry your wife on your wedding day?" nagged Selina. She was really irritated by these

two men's small trick.

"No, no, no, Aunt Selina," Mike replied hurriedly. He glimpsed at Lawrence before he went on,

"Lawrence went to the blind date last night. He really did."

"So, can you tell me why it was you who went to the blind date this morning?" questioned Selina again.

"Why is Lawrence sitting in the office and working?" "Well, I..." Mike was suddenly at a loss for words.

Since Mike was stammering, Selina turned back to Lawrence.

She angrily asked, "Lawrence, how about the blind date last night? How did it go?" Lawrence didn't

answer so she added, "What do you think of Mary?

When Lawrence heard the last question, he only shook his head. He turned around to avoid Selina's

gaze and then he answered, "Not good."

"Why? What's the matter?" Selina asked in astonishment. She continued, "You know that she has a

very good family background, right?"

"But she has a bad character," Lawrence replied without hesitation. He knew a lot of young ladies like

Mary who had great family backgrounds and just like them, he also didn't think Mary would qualify to be

his wife.

Selina didn't know what else to say when she saw the indifferent look on Lawrence's face. She kept

silent for a moment. After a while, she finally said, "Well, since Mike screwed up the blind date this

morning, you have to go on a blind date this afternoon."

"No, I can't. I have something to deal with this afternoon," Lawrence directly refused.

"I can help you deal with it if it's something about work so you can go to your blind date," Selina

suggested.

"It's not about work," Lawrence replied immediately. He didn't want to explain anymore so he just said,

"I have an appointment with Greg."

Selina didn't say a word when Lawrence mentioned Greg's name. She fell silent again.

When he noticed that Selina went silent, Lawrence stood up and walked towards her. He then sat next

to her. He put a hand on Selina's shoulder and leaned closer to her. He said, "Aunt Selina, don't ask

me to go on blind dates anymore, okay? I promise you, I will definitely get married within one year."

"One year?" Selina exclaimed. "That's quite too long," she complained.

"How about half a year? I'll get married in half a year. Would that be okay?" Lawrence negotiated

helplessly.

"No," Selina firmly refused. "I'll give you only three months," she added. She looked at Lawrence

intently and said, "You only have three months to get married starting today. Make sure to introduce her

to me next month. Then I'll hold an engagement party for the two of you as soon as I finish

investigating her family background. On the third month, I will definitely schedule your wedding

ceremony."

When she finished talking, Selina immediately stood up and took her bag. She hurriedly left before

Lawrence could get a chance to retort. But before she could totally get out of the room, she glanced at

Mike and Lawrence and warned them, "I'll let you live in a world of pain if you two dare to trick me like NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

that again!"

Watching her receding figure going out of the office, Mike shouted with a weird smile on his lips, "Don't

worry, Aunt Selina. I'll never get a chance to replace Lawrence on a blind date after three months."

Lawrence, on the other hand, remained quiet the whole time.

When only Mike and Lawrence were left in the office, Mike looked at Lawrence with a perky expression

on his face.

"Lawrence, I want to hear everything," he said in a wicked smile.

Lawrence was aware that he couldn't hide anything from Mike. After all, Mike was the most powerful

when it came to gathering information in this city. He got eyes all over the city.

"You already know everything, right?" Lawrence asked. A weird smile once again appeared on Mike's

handsome face.

Then he said, "Hey, buddy! I think we need to celebrate your first time to spend a night with a woman.

Last night must be a memorable one for you."

"I don't have time for any boring celebration. I'm quite busy right now," Lawrence replied indifferently.

He was actually thinking about Aria and her mother. He needed to deal with the hospitalization of Aria's

mother and he needed to take care of Aria as well.

"Busy?" Mike asked dubiously. "What's keeping you busy? Is that something more important than being

with me?" Mike was obviously jealous. Over the years, he had always been staying beside Lawrence

as if they could never be separated. So he thought that Lawrence should also prioritize him above all

else. To his dismay, Lawrence was directly ignoring him because of something.

Lawrence didn't mind Mike's question. There was actually something else that he wanted to tell him. So

he gently called out his name, "Mike."

"What's the matter?" replied Mike indifferently. He was hurt that Lawrence once again ignored his

question.

"I have a feeling that something will happen," Lawrence answered. Even he couldn't tell when and why

he started to have this feeling.

When he heard Lawrence's words, Mike unconsciously sat up straight and looked at him seriously.

"What do you mean?" "Well, I can't recall anything serious that happened recently," he added.

"I don't know," Lawrence answered as he shook his head. "Ever since I met Sharon, I started to have

this kind of feeling already," he added with furrowed brows. His face looked cold.

"What could be wrong?" Mike also wondered. Then he added, "I've investigated everything about

Sharon. She doesn't have a great family background that's why she is really trying her best to get into

the elite circle."

A confused look appeared on Lawrence's face as he said, "I can always feel that something is wrong

but I can't exactly tell what it is." All of a sudden, an image of a woman flashed through his mind. In his

childhood memories, this woman used to be so kind to him. She used to take him out to have fun and

buy some ice cream. However...

When Mike noticed that Lawrence seemed to be lost in his thoughts, he gently asked, "Lawrence, what

are you thinking?"

"Nothing. I just suddenly miss my Aunt Jean," Lawrence blurted out. Jean Shen had always been in his

mind since she passed away. Although it had been so many years ago, he still missed her so much.

Mike knew only a little about Jean so he didn't really have the same feeling towards her. But he thought

that Lawrence might just be missing his mother since he suddenly remembered his mother's sister. So,

with a smile on his face, he leaned on the sofa and asked Lawrence, "Are you thinking of your Mom,

too?" He put a hand on Lawrence's shoulder and advised, "Why don't you go to Hong Kong and visit

your parents? You can see Violet there, too."
