Lunabelle took her hand. “That’s very kind of you to think so. I’m really sorry for being so presumptuous by embarrassing you and Simon last time. Can you apologize to him for me?” God knew how pleased she felt when she learned that there was nothing romantic between Simon and Amanda and that the child wasn’t theirs. She had cruelly broken his heart back then, choosing to abandon him-her long-time love-to marry a wealthy foreigner. She honestly never expected. the man to be still single when she got divorced and returned to her home country. This was simply a second chance given to her, so she had to get hold of it.
Amanda shook her head with a smile. “It’s okay, but I could tell that Simon still cares about you deep down. He nearly got into a fight with Elias for your sake at the hospital last time, you know.”
Lunabelle’s face had a look of disbelief. “Is that so? But he’s been rejecting me so far…. I don’t understand.” She thought Simon’s feelings for her had already cooled off. Otherwise, why would he keep distancing himself from her?
Amanda let out a soft sigh. “Perhaps he has his own issues that are plaguing him. After all, your breakup with him back then wasn’t an amicable one.”
“You’re right. I’m the one who has let him down…” The light in Lunabelle’s eyes dimmed as she recalled the past.
Just then, Amanda’s phone rang, interrupting their conversation. “Excuse me, I’ve got to answer the phone.
“Oh, sure! Please go ahead.”
Amanda answered the phone. “Hi, this is Amanda speaking. What can I do for you?”
On the other end of the line was the dating agency. “Hi, Miss Bailey, we’re calling from Eternal Love, the dating agency. We’ve arranged a meeting for you this evening with a gentleman who meets your requirements. Are you free to meet him then?”
“Oh, okay. I’ll be there on time this evening, replied Amanda. After hanging up the phone, she turned to look at Lunabelle. “I have to get ready for work now. You’re looking for Simon, right? His office is over there. Just go straight that way and you’ll find him.”
“Okay, I won’t keep you then. Just go ahead with your work.”
“Alright, let’s chat again some other time.” Amanda nodded with a polite smile before turning to
leave.
The moment she turned around, however, Lunabelle’s face screwed up into a puzzled expression. I think I just heard the caller say something about them calling from a dating agency. Is Amanda looking for a boyfriend? Doesn’t she already have Mr. Winters? That’s Elias Winters, the fabulously rich president of Winters Enterprise! Is he not good enough for her requirements? Why would she go to a dating agency

instead?
Puzzled, she turned toward Simon’s office, knocking on the door when she arrived outside. Seeing the man in there buried in his work, she instantly smiled with satisfaction.
“Come in,” said Simon without even looking up.
Lunabelle walked in and sat down across his desk. You’re so busy, huh? Mr. Nicholson?”
Hearing the woman’s voice, Simon looked up with a slight frown. “What brings you here?”
“Can’t I come here to see you? I just want to see how busy you are at work. You keep turning me down when I ask you out. Since I can never get a date with you, I have no choice but to come to you at your law firm, thought Lunabelle.
Simon put away the few documents before him. “It’s true that I’ve been kind of busy.”
“By the way, I saw Amanda just now. Is she going on blind dates lately?” asked Lunabelle.
Simon frowned slightly. “What do you mean?” Amanda is going on blind dates? Why would she do that?
Seeing the man’s clueless expression, Lunabelle recounted to him what she had seen and heard a while ago. “I saw her on the phone with a dating agency just now, and she said she’d be there on time in the evening. Doesn’t that mean she’s going on a blind date?”
Simon fell silent for a long time. Amanda is hesitant about me courting her, and yet she goes to a dating agency to look for blind dates? Just what is going on in her head?
Elias had been recuperating in the hospital over the past few days. He couldn’t go anywhere; his grandfather and mother had been taking turns keeping a close watch over him 24/7. Not only that, he had been unable to get through to Amanda on her phone. He tried calling her using a different number,
but once she answered the phone and heard his voice, she would immediately hang up on him. If this were to continue, she might detest him more and more, thus driving them further and further apart.
Leaning back on his sickbed, he looked out the window at the gray, cloudy sky outside. It had been cloudy and drizzly these days, just like how his mood had been nothing but gloomy.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Looking back toward the sound, he said, “Come in. However, the moment the door opened, a hint of disappointment flickered across his ink-black eyes. It wasn’t the person he wanted to see.
Yacob came in. “Mr. Winters”

“What is she doing?” Elias sounded quite downcast, perhaps because of his long stay in the hospital. Anyone would become gloomy in such a dreary environment.
“Uh, Miss Bailey… She… Yacob was having a hard time telling the truth. He feared that this news would be too much for his boss to handle, but he couldn’t lie either.
“Just what the hell is she doing?! Spill it! Cough…” Elias couldn’t help getting angry again, which tore at his insides and sent him into an involuntary coughing fit.
Seeing him get so emotional, Yacob had no choice but to admit, “Miss Bailey is going on blind dates-
“What?!” Elias had a look of disbelief on his face. Then, flying into a rage, he knocked over the glass next to him, causing it to shatter into pieces on the floor. Blind dates! She’s actually going on blind dates! She’s ignoring me, not answering my phone calls, or coming to visit me in the hospital. And she’s going on blind dates! This woman is an absolute ingrate! Feeling a surge of anger, he decided that he had had enough; he threw back the covers and was about to get out of his sickbed.
However, Yacob stopped him. “Mr. Winters, your health is of greater importance right now! Please stay here and recuperate until your injuries are healed. And besides, it’s not like Miss Bailey will find a good match anytime soon…” That was his opinion. Even blind dates take time; there’s no way she’ll get lucky on her first blind date, no?
“Get out of my way! Who gave her permission to go on blind dates?! Is she that thirsty for men?!” Pushing Yacob away, Elias pulled the door open and was about to storm out of the ward violently.
At this moment, however, his mother Jennifer Morales and Grace happened to come in unexpectedly and were startled to see the man looking so furious. “What are you doing. Elias?! You’re not well yet! Where are you going? Go back and lie down on your bed!” Jennifer quickly. grabbed hold of him.
“Get lost! Leave me alone!” Elias had already lost his head at this very moment. All he thought about was that Amanda was going on blind dates with other men, and not even his mother could stop him.
Grace burst into tears while looking on anxiously. “Please, Elias, I’m begging you, please go back and lie down, okay? Your health will fall apart if you keep on like this. Did you forget how you’d coughed up blood? Please. With that, both she and Jennifer started crying.
In an instant, Elias felt that his head was going to split. It annoyed him most when women cried in front of him, and now, there were two of them crying in front of him at the same time! That’s enough! Stop crying! I’m not dead yet!” Furiously, he turned back and lay down in bed, looking like he didn’t want to talk to anyone.
