Chapter 76
Talia forcefully shook Maeve’s hand.
Funny.
She was already married, why would she still be seeking a match?
But because Maeve had just drunk alcohol, she held on too tightly and couldn’t let go for a moment.
Just then, due to his absent–mindedness, a couple came over from the opposite corridor.
It was Kendrick and Valerie.
That was really a coincidence.
Seeing that a few people were about to come face to face, Talia turned her head to look at Maeve.
“In which private room?”
Maeve didn’t react immediately as Talia’s attitude changed too quickly.
“It was right here.”
Talia pushed the door open without hesitation and closed it with a bang.
Kendrick and Valerie’s faces were just separated by the door.
Seeing the situation, Valerie asked curiously, “Mom, how did

you and Tally get here?”

Valerie had long known that Talia was going on a blind date at
Palm Restaurant.
Originally tonight, Kendrick was going to take her to the bar to have fun.
However, she wanted Kendrick to see this scene with her own eyes, so she changed the location to Palm Restaurant at the last minute.
I didn’t expect to come early, but it happened to coincide.
Maeve, unaware of Valerie’s little secret, truthfully said, “I brought Tally here for a blind date.”
As soon as he heard these words, Kendrick squinted his eyes and said, “Blind date?”
Maeve nodded, “You and Valerie were about to get married, and I was afraid Tally would cause trouble, so I wanted to
divert her attention.”
Kendrick frowned, his voice slightly deep, “Did she agree?”
Maeve glanced at the closed door of the box and it seemed like Kendrick was a little unhappy from the way he said that.
Inside the private room.
Talia knew that they were right outside.
It wasn’t that she was timid, she just couldn’t be bothered to waste her breath with them and wanted to find a place to calm down first.

There was no one in the private room, Talia breathed a sigh of relief.
She walked over to the sofa and sat down, thinking that once they had left, she would go out.
I didn’t expect to hear the sound of flushing coming from the bathroom.
Talia was taken aback and turned her head to see a man
wearing a black shirt, holding a tissue in his hand, wiping his hands as he walked out.
The other person had long and fair fingers, and Talia glanced at them twice.
This hand must have been very skilled in playing the piano.
The man was taken aback for two seconds when he saw Talia, and there was clearly some surprise in his eyes. “You’re here?”
Talia averted her gaze and said softly, “I entered the wrong private room, I sat for two minutes and then left.”
The man laughed and knew that Talia was making up stories, but he didn’t expose her.
He sat on the chair in front of her and politely extended a hand towards her, “Hello, Talia. My name is Henry Richmond, and I was your blind date for tonight.”
Talia raised an eyebrow, her gaze falling on his slender fingers, but she refrained from reaching out and shaking hands.
“Do you know me?”

Henry didn’t mind either.

He picked up the sobering glass in front of him, poured two glasses of red wine, and handed one to Talia.
“Your recent exploits have been the talk of Maplehelm, how could I not know you?”
“So, are you still willing to go on a blind date with me?” Talia glanced at her glass, but didn’t respond, her eyes showing a faint sense of detachment.
Henry didn’t mind either and placed the glass directly on the table in front of her.
He raised an eyebrow lightly and said, “I was just curious to see what kind of fairy–like woman would be able to send Kendrick to the hospital.”
Talia: “… Do you have a grudge against Kendrick?”
Henry nodded, “That’s one way to put it.”
“What grudge?”
“When he was five years old, he wet the bed and falsely accused me of wetting it.”
Talia: “??”
With that being said, Talia did remember.
Kendrick’s aunt married into the Richmond family, and the person in front of him, Henry, should be Kendrick’s aunt’s son.
It was really strange, Maeve was really brave.

She actually chose Kendrick’s cousin as her blind date?

Is the Deven family’s mess not messy enough to worry about?
In terms of seniority, she is now married to Kayson, and Henry still has to call her Aunt.
One Kendrick was already enough of a headache for Talia, she didn’t want to invite any more trouble for herself.
Estimating that the person outside had already left, Talia opened the door and went out.
Who would have expected that as soon as the door opened, three people outside all turned their heads towards her.
Maeve glared at Talia as if warning her.
Valerie stretched her neck and looked behind Talia, “Tally, is it over so soon? Is it inappropriate?”
Kendrick said, “If it’s not right, don’t settle for it. No one is forcing you.”
Talia looked at the three people, took a deep breath, rolled her eyes, and with a “bang,” she closed the door again.
She sat back down on the couch and downed a whole glass of
wine.
It was really lingering.
“Mom, who is the man inside?” Valerie asked curiously.

Maeve shook her head and said, “I don’t know either. The matchmaker said it was a good match, so I didn’t ask further.”
Kendrick sneered, “Suitable? With such high standards, who else could she be interested in besides me?”
He took out a cigarette and tried to light it with a lighter several times before it finally lit up.
Frequently swallowing clouds and spitting out mist, the eyes were dim.
Valerie felt that Kendrick’s words sounded a bit sour.
She really hated Kendrick’s focus, it was all on Talia.
She was even more afraid when Kendrick prevented Talia from going on a blind date.
Valerie gritted her teeth and gently grabbed Kendrick’s
sleeve, “Kendrick, didn’t you just say you wanted to go to the bar? I also want to have a drink, let’s go.”

“Oh my, oh my, why do I feel like Kendrick still has feelings for you?”
Henry exclaimed, “I just saw it, he looked at you with a melancholic expression.”
Talia remained silent. The red wine was slightly sweet and tasted good, so she poured herself another glass.
“I felt Kendrick was one hundred percent jealous,” Henry stood up and paced back and forth in the box.

He slapped his forehead and suddenly came up with a cunning plan, “How about we fake a relationship and make him jealous?”
Henry became more and more excited as he spoke, “The thought of Kendrick getting so angry that smoke was coming out of his nose, it made my blood boil.”
“Imagine, a woman who had been chasing after him all the time, suddenly became his cousin’s girlfriend one day. If Kendrick knew, he would have been furious.”
They had long held grudges against each other.
The two individuals were of similar age, so they were often compared by others.
Kendrick excelled in everything he did. After graduating, he joined Galaxia Group and took every step that a scion of a wealthy family should take.
Henry, on the other hand, had a more carefree personality. Despite being young and not having joined the company, he instead started playing esports.
Being a professional gamer was considered normal in an ordinary household, but in a wealthy family, it was seen as an improper occupation.
Talia held the wine glass in front of her, and Henry’s thoughts
coincided with hers.
Just…

Kendrick’s uncle, so theoretically, it would be more satisfying

for Kendrick to call me aunt, right?”

Henry was stunned for a few seconds, and then he slapped his thigh vigorously. His handsome eyebrows and eyes revealed a sense of panic, “My goodness, you really dare to think!”
He pulled a chair and sat down next to Talia.
“Are you joking with me? Or are you hallucinating from drinking too much? Kayson? That’s my cousin! Do you know what kind of person my cousin is? I’ve never seen him with a woman all my life! Making him your fake boyfriend?”
Henry gave a thumbs up to Talia and said, “But hey, if you really have the ability to take down my little cousin, I’ll show you a performance of breaking a big stone with my chest.”
Talia smiled but said nothing.
This chest was broken by a large stone, Henry confirmed it.
This wine tasted sweet, but it had a strong aftertaste.
Talia groggily leaned on the couch, recovering from a hangover, while Henry went to open the door.
The three people outside the door had already left at some point, and Henry returned again.
You might want to consider what I just said. I was very popular with girls. Be my fake girlfriend, and you won’t lose
out.
Henry lifted his chin and, seeing Talia keeping her eyes closed without making a sound, stared at her for two or three
seconds.

Talia’s face turned red, and she lay silently on the armrest of the sofa, clearly having had too much to drink.
Her bangs fell casually on her forehead, with a strand just resting on her long eyelashes.
