Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 399 A Strange Date

“No,” Joshua said with doubts in his mind. Still, he chose to sit down and listen to Wayne.

“Here’s the thing. You know that Nancy doesn’t want to get married at all and I also know about it. And there’s no way she will go on the blind date herself. She must’ve had already arranged for someone else to go on the blind date for her. Then what’s the point of you going to the blind date if the date isn’t her?” Wayne analyzed calmly.

Wow! | didn’t expect that you knew so much about Nancy, Wayne. No wonder you can be a business legend in the business circle for years! Yeah, you re right. It’s true that Nancy wants to be single forever. And she was forced to go to the blind date this time, Joshua thought to himself.

“As the two of us have similar heights and figures, I’m thinking that we can switch out identities and then I’ll go to the blind date for you. And once the date is over, I’ll make Nancy be with you as soon as possible. How’s that sound?” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Okay.” Although Joshua had thousands of questions about as to why Wayne suddenly made such an odd proposal in his mind, he didn’t speak his mind out loud, knowing that Wayne wouldn’t answer any of his questions even if he persisted in asking him.

Joshua said to himself, Wayne is not a man who likes to joke around. Since he says so with confidence, it’s highly likely that he will make Nancy and me a couple.

“Deal?” Wayne reached out his hand to Joshua, asking.

“Deal!” Joshua said delightfully, shaking hands with Wayne. 398 A Strange Date

Anna arrived at the restaurant where Nancy and Joshua had made a reservation. It was a French restaurant, decorated elegantly but in a simple way. The guests were speaking in whispers, and a jazz band was playing soothing music.

“Joshua” arrived ten minutes later. He was wearing sunglasses and a mask. “Are you Dr. Moore?” he asked.

Anna looked up as she heard that pleasant voice. “You must be Mr. Davis. Am I right?” she asked, standing up.

“Joshua” nodded and said, “Please have a seat. Sorry, the company had an impromptu meeting earlier. That’s why I’m a bit late. Have you been waiting for me for a long time? I’ll pay for everything we’ve done today as an apology to you.”

Meanwhile, “Joshua”, aka, Wayne, thought to himself, Hah! /t turns out that my guess was right! Anna, you did plan to go to a blind date with Joshua. Well. On second thought, you didn’t plan it as it was supposed to be Nancy who went on the blind date with Joshua. Anyways, I’m so glad that you’re here simply because Nancy asked you to be here!

“Mr. Davis. No offense but, may | ask why you’re wearing sunglasses and a mask? Emmm… If you mind it, you don’t need to answer my question. I’m just curious,” Anna asked in confusion.

“No, no, not at all! About that… Well, I have a cold and I don’t want to infect you with it. As for the sunglasses… | have had an eye surgery recently and the doctor asks me to wear sunglasses to avoid the sunlight.”

“Oh, I see,” Saying that, Anna thought to herself, Well, Nancy was right. Those who have blind dates nowadays tend to have something fishy about themselves. Joshua, are you lying or not? If you’re lying, are you covering your face like that because you’re disfigured that you don’t dare ‘398 A Strange Date to show your face in public? If that’s the case… Well, I’d rather believe that you’re not lying to me. Also, your voice sounds so familiar. You sound like Wayne! But how is it possible? Wayne doesn’t have time for blind dates. I should perish the thought and ruin the blind date for the sake of Nancy.

“Did you order your meal?” Wayne asked, seeing that Anna was absent-minded

Anna nodded and said, “Yes, but | asked them to make my meal with yours. You can take your time looking at the menu.”

Wayne then ordered and handed the menu to the waiter. After that, he got straight to the point and said, “My father stayed in your hospital earlier, and your mother introduced us to a very nice nurse. My mother and your mother had a nice time talking, so they let us go on a blind date.”

It wasn’t until then that Anna realized she had made a mistake by coming and regretted it even more. Having regained her composure, Anna said, “That’s fine. A blind date is a quick way to fall in love. We have the opportunity to express ourselves directly. We can continue dating if we believe that we’re meant for each other, and we’ll never see each other again if we don’t click. This is my favorite way.” Wayne was silent for a moment, not expecting Anna to be so blunt. He said, “Yes, that’s right.”

I hate lying to people, so I’ll answer whatever you ask me honestly,” Anna said.

“I don’t have anything to ask,” Wayne laughed, “I prefer that we take our time and get to know each other.”

“So, you don’t mind if | ask you a question, do you?” Anna continued.

Certainly not. Go ahead and ask me whatever you want to ask me 398 A Strange Date = about.”

“What’s your salary? Do you have a house? How many houses do you have? And how many girlfriends have you had? Why did you break up with them?”

After that, Anna smiled smugly, thinking, No men would like to be interrogated by their dates on their first dates. I guess that you have already lost interest in me the moment you finish hearing the strings of questions!

However, “Joshua” was a little more composed than Anna expected, saying, “I earn more than $100,000 per year, and | have some money saved up. I have two houses in Birmingham. | live in a duplex, and the other one is empty. I paid cash for both. I’ve dated two girls. | dated one for a year and broke up because she needed to study abroad. | dated the other one for half a year and we broke up because she was leaving for America.”

Alright. It seems that you don’t wanna back down so soon. I’d better come up with a better strategy. At the thought of that, Anna said, “You’re a nice guy, but I don’t know if my daughters will like you. Otherwise, we can’t keep dating.”

“Do you have daughters? How old are they?”

“My oldest daughter is 17 years old, and the youngest is 11 years old.”
