The next day at noon, I had just finished work and was getting ready to eat.
I saw the message Juan sent five minutes ago.
[I'll wait for you at the usual place. Be ready in ten minutes. I have something to ask you.]
After seeing the message he sent me, I did not want to go at first, but thinking about what I said to my mother last night, I went anyway.
It was a fast food restaurant not far from his company.
As soon as I sat down, I heard him ask, “Is a relative of yours getting married?”
I paused for two seconds while putting down my bag, then quickly responded, “Well, my cousin is getting married, why are you asking this?”
Hearing that, his serious expression relaxed and he sneered, “Aunt Clarice asked me to help arrange the wedding banquet, but she didn't tell me who the protagonist of the wedding banquet was. And it seems that you are the only eligible person in your family. I thought you were going to get married.”
Speaking of that, he himself found it a little funny.
Yes, people my age in my family were already married and some even had two children.
But in their eyes, I was still a loner.
But I could not smile, so I pulled the corner of my mouth slightly and asked tentatively, “Then, when will you marry me?”
Hearing that, his expression suddenly changed, the smile in his eyes disappeared, revealing an unruly. “Clara, I have no plans to get married now, please stop making trouble.”
Hearing the warning in his words, the little bit of anticipation I had just felt quickly dissipated.
I knew clearly that it was not that he did not want to get married, he just did not want to marry me.
I looked into his eyes and whispered, “My cousin waited until she was 30 to settle down for a scumbag. Although she is past the marriageable age, I would like to trouble you to plan the wedding with the best specifications.”
“Of course, but Aunt Clarice didn't tell me what kind of wedding the bride wanted. Why don't you ask her?”
I nodded and took out my phone, pretending to send a message to someone.
Half a minute later, I said, “My cousin said that she will let me take care of the wedding. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly.”
After all, I was the bride of this wedding.
Afterwards, Juan called the waiter to serve the food.
He ordered hot spicy menus as usual.
