Chapter 329 Rex's Blind Date

So, the two of you are teaming up against me, huh?

Finished

As Rex listened to his parents argue over the phone about whether to have another child, he felt an instant headache coming on.

In the end, he was the first to give in.

"All right, Mom, you win, okay?" Rex sighed, realizing he had no choice but to agree and stall for time. "I'll go on a blind date, all right?"

"Really?" Raelyn sounded skeptical. "You're not just saying this to keep me quiet, are you?"

Caught off guard by how quickly she saw through him, Rex nearly choked. "How could you think that? Do I seem like the kind of person who would lie to you?" Raelyn didn't hesitate. "Yes."

Rex was lost for words.

So much for mother-son trust; it was as fragile as thin paper!

Rex let out a deep sigh, feeling utterly defeated. "Well, if that's how you see me, I guess there's nothing I can do."

"It's easy to prove me wrong. Actions speak louder than words. Tell me where you are, and I'll find a nice girl nearby for you to meet over lunch," Raelyn stated firmly.

Rex was taken aback.

Wait a second. Were blind dates supposed to be this casual? Like picking out groceries?

"No, Mom, I...

"If you refuse, that just confirms you're trying to fool me," Raelyn interrupted him. "I... I'm at Eastlake Plaza."

Through the phone, Rex could hear the sound of pages flipping. Less than 30 seconds later, Raelyn's voice rang out cheerfully, "Ms. Renata Xander from Havenwood happens to be close by. She's already on her way to meet you." Raelyn continued with a quick introduction, "Her parents and grandfather are renowned educators in the country. She just finished her master's degree in Mostand, and is exceptionally bright. Try talking to her about academics, make a good impression!"

Just as she finished speaking, Rex's phone buzzed with a new message. Raelyn sent him Renata's contact number.

"You two should talk and let me know how it goes after lunch," she instructed before promptly hanging up, not giving him a chance to protest.

Rex was dumbfounded.

Fifteen minutes later, he spotted Renata hurrying into a Tavalis restaurant on the 6th floor of the shopping

center.

It was obvious she had rushed over; her makeup wasn't flawless, but she carried an elegant demeanor, embodying the refined charm of a well-bred young lady.

"Mr. Chapman, hello, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Renata took a seat across from Rex, briefly glancing at him before a twinkle of curiosity flickered in her

eyes.

"Mrs. Raelyn showed me your photo carlier, but I have to say, you look even younger and more attractive in person."

Rex acknowledged the compliment with a nonchalant nod before signaling the waiter. "Let's order."

The menu was written in both Eglonish and Tavanish. After selecting a few dishes, Renata handed it over to Rex with a polite smile. "I'll leave the rest to you, Mr. Chapman."

After a quick scan, he hesitated briefly before pointing to a dish.

The waiter's expression stiffened for a split second before he asked cautiously,

"Sir, are you certain you'd like to order this?"

Rex, already growing impatient, frowned. "Yes, is there an issue?"

The waiter smiled and clarified, "This is actually the name of two musical pieces. If you'd like, I can place the order right away."

Renata's expression, which had carried a hint of admiration, instantly froze.

Rex's expression darkened with irritation. His patience wore thin as frustration built up. "What's wrong with you people? Can't you at least give me a menu in Valasian? Running a restaurant in Valasia without a Valasian menu. What a joke!"

The waiter's eyes welled up with tears. "I apologize, Sir. It's clearly stated at our entrance that we only provide bilingual menus, and that notice is written in Valasian ...

Rex's sharp glare intensified. Despite his delicate features, his anger made him look quite imposing.

"Oh? Are you mocking me now?!"

Noticing the attention of other customers, Renata, feeling increasingly uncomfortable, forced a polite smile. "Let me assist you with the order. Mr.

Chapman, what would you like to eat?"

Rex shot her a glance. "Fine, I'll do Ms. Xander a favor. I want meat. Just give me

meat. Medium rare, dripping with blood, that's how I like it."

Renata's expression shifted several times before she finally placed his order in flawless Eglonish.noveldrama

The waiter exhaled in relief, expressed gratitude multiple times, and walked away.

Rex took a sip of his lemon water, leaned back in his seat, and lazily swung his legs beneath the ble.

"Ms. Xander, my mom mentioned that you recently came back from earning your master's degree overseas, is that right?"
