Chapter 1346 The Setup
Juan was rendered speechless. After a while, he recalled something and asked, “How did you know my grandma? Also, why would she want to introduce you to me?”
Sally smiled at him in return and said, “I helped her out by accident, and she thought that I was a kind and gentle young lady. She also said that I might potentially be her granddaughter-in-law since I don’t have a boyfriend.”
“That’s it?” he asked in disbelief.
“Yup. It’s that simple,” she replied sternly.
Juan did not know what to say. How is Grandma so casual about this? This girl only helped her out, and she’s willing to sacrifice her own grandson’s happiness?
The more he thought about it, the more he found the situation ridiculous. Slowly, he picked up the glass on the table and took a sip from it.
At that moment, his phone rang. It was a call from Kyle.
“Everything’s settled here. How are things at your end?” asked Kyle.
“Well, i-it’s…” Juan stammered. Glancing at Sally, he did not know what to do. Sally said that I’m her type, but she’s not really mine.
“Hold on. I have a few things to do at my end,” he went on.
Just like that, he hung up the phone. Turning to look at Sally, he said, “You don’t know me at all. If you did, you’d know that we’re not a good match for each other. I’m a man with tons of flaws. Not only do I smoke, but I also love to drink and have lots of bad habits.”
“It doesn’t matter. There’re plenty of men like that, and I trust that you’ll change to become a better man,” she responded optimistically.
“No, you don’t understand. There’s no way I’m able to change even if I wanted to.”
“It’s fine then. Don’t change.”
Juan was officially speechless.
She really doesn’t mind if I don’t change?
Then, he realized that his plan was failing, and he needed to make himself look even worse than he did before.
“I hate being tied up. I love the smell of freedom and not having any constraints. So, I really don’t think that we’re each other’s types,” he went on.
“I think it’s great that you enjoy freedom. Plus, how would you know that we’re not a good match if we haven’t tried getting along?”
She wants to try getting along with me?!
He had a feeling that he could not resolve the issue right away. As if on cue, Kyle called him on the phone once again.
Kyle was an impatient man, and it seemed that he could not wait for Juan any longer.
Picking up the phone, Juan said immediately, “I’ll be right there.”
As soon as he finished his sentence, he threw a glance at Sally and uttered, “I have something extremely urgent going on, and I need to leave now. If Grandma asks you about it, you can say that—”
Cutting him off, Sally added, “I’ll tell her that we’re trying to get to know each other at the moment.”
A bitter smile appeared on his face as soon as he heard what was said.
Whatever, she can go ahead and say whatever the hell she wants. “I’ll get going now then.” With that, he left the room in a hurry.
“What took you so long just to get everything settled?” asked Kyle as soon as Juan left the room.
Sighing, Juan responded, “It’s not that I took so long to get things done, but I took so long and have yet to get things done. Never in a million years did I think that Grandma would set me up with her!”
“Precisely! I didn’t think that she would set me up with a woman like that either. Now, it’s crystal clear that her thoughts are different from ours.”
After hearing that, Juan immediately looked at Kyle curiously and asked, “How’s the girl Grandma set you up with like?”
“What’s she like? She’s those frivolous and flamboyant types.” Kyle was trying hard to describe the woman he had just met.
“That’s it? Do you know which family does she come from?”
Squinting his eyes, Kyle shook his head. “I have no idea, and I’m not interested as well. So, I didn’t even bother asking.”
“Lucky for you, you don’t know her origins just because you didn’t ask. For me, I already know her background without the need to ask, and that woman is an orphan.”
