In the city of Paris.

At Kubrick Cafe in the lakeside plaza.

Sophia Wilson walked to the door with a hint of frustration on her face, and a complicated look flashed in her eyes.

“Sophia, don’t push your luck. I’ve already found a blind date for you who’s the same age. What else do you want?”

“Today, this is a young talent who is about the same age as you. If you don’t go, your father will marry you off to that 60-year-old nouveau riche.”

A self-deprecating sneer flashed across Sophia’s lips.

A young talent in his thirties? You actually said that he’s about the same age as me?

You want to quickly marry me off so that you can take my mother’s inheritance, but you actually put the blame on my father?

Forget it, his father did not stop him. He must have acquiesced.

Taking a deep breath, Sophia walked into the cafe.

The sound of the piano in the cafe, accompanied by the strong aroma of coffee, drifted into Sophia’s facial features.

Normally, Sophia would think that this was the most beautiful combination in the world.

But now, she only felt frustrated.

She sat down at the agreed table number. The other person had not arrived yet. Sophia was a little happy. She hoped that the other party would not come, but she also hoped that he was a normal person and would be able to arrive on time.

This way, she would not have to marry a 60-year-old nouveau riche with yellow teeth.

Sophia had just sat down when she was attracted by the conversation at the next table.

“Although you’re not bad looking, it’s not safe for a man to be too handsome. You have to impress me with sincerity.”

“If you’re sincere, I won’t ask too much of you. A million yuan gift, a house in the city center, and a Porsche 911. Is that alright? If I drive other cars, people will think that my boyfriend is incompetent.”

“Also, I don’t know how to do housework. I’ll have to find a nanny when the time comes.”

“If you can satisfy these conditions, then I’ll force myself to marry you. You’re a soldier, but you can marry such a beautiful wife like me. It can be considered a blessing from your previous life.”

After hearing this, Sophia couldn’t help but frown. What kind of peerless beauty made her feel so superior? Sophia couldn’t help but look at the table next to her.

Although the woman was pretty, she looked a little fake.

It was unknown how much of the girl was artificial and how much was natural.

Of course, she could not rule out the possibility that men nowadays liked this kind of thing.

“Miss, as you said, I’m just a soldier. With my current situation, I can’t give you a material life like you said. We’re not suitable.”

The man’s voice was very cold, and his gaze did not stay on the woman opposite him for a second.

The woman opposite him flew into a rage when she heard that. She changed her expression and said in exasperation, “If you don’t have money, why are you going on a blind date? What a waste of time.”

With that, she turned around and left.

Only then did Sophia quietly move her eyes to the man beside her. She was stunned.

Thick eyebrows, cold eyes, distinct edges and corners. This face was definitely a face that she had a good taste for.

In this exaggerated era, it was rare to see such a resolute and angular man.

He just sat there quietly, but he felt an indescribable sense of security.

He was indeed a soldier!

Sophia couldn’t help but sympathize with this man.

“Miss Wilson, right?”

A frivolous voice interrupted Sophia’s thoughts.

Sophia quickly turned around.

She saw a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a beige suit sizing her up.

If Sophia guessed correctly, this man was her blind date, David Thomas.

Sophia smiled awkwardly and nodded in response.

The man did not stand on ceremony and sat down.

“We’re all adults, so I won’t beat around the bush.”

“I’m now the sales director of a listed company. I have a house and a car.”

“But I have to say that my family has had only one son for three generations, so no matter how many children we have, we have to have a son.”

“After we get married, you’ll be in charge of the family and I’ll be in charge of work. Of course, you can find an easy job and take care of both family and life.”

“Puchi…” Sophia couldn’t help but laugh when she heard David Thomas’s attack.

She thought that the woman at the next table was weird enough!

She didn’t expect that the narcissitic man in front of her would be even more eye-opening.

He wondered what kind of scene it would be if the two of them sat together at a table.

“What are you laughing at?” David asked coldly.

Sophia smiled and waved her hand. “It’s nothing. I thought your family had a throne to inherit. After all that talk, you also want me to work to earn money? Moreover, your family’s threshold is too high. I don’t think I’m worthy.”

David was not stupid. He could tell that Sophia was mocking him.

He was a little flustered and exasperated.

Pointing at Sophia, he said, “Miss Wilson, don’t be so sarcastic. I’ve already given you enough face by taking time out of my busy schedule to go on a blind date with you. Don’t be ungrateful.”

Sophia adjusted her sitting posture unhappily and said in a light tone, “You don’t have to come if you don’t want to. I believe that with your strength, there’s no need for you to go on a blind date.”

“What do you know? The older a man is, the more popular he is, let alone a high-quality man like me.

But for a woman with a bad temper and no good looks like you, if you don’t grasp the opportunity and marry yourself off as soon as possible, you’ll become an old hag that no one wants in the future.”

Sophia did not expect such an ugly face under her gold-rimmed glasses.

However, she did not want to make a scene in public, so she suppressed her anger and said, “Mr. Thomas, we’re all adults. If you’re not suitable, then break up. There’s no need to say such harsh words. It’s fine for you to raise yourself up, but you shouldn’t belittle me.”

“A woman like you will never get married in this lifetime!” David ignored her and continued to speak in exasperation.

“Why can’t she get married? She’s about to get married!”

A mellow and magnetic voice suddenly came from the side. Sophia turned her head and met the eyes of the blind date next door.

What was that?

What did he just say?

Was he talking to me?

Before Sophia could react, the man’s big palm had already naturally landed on Sophia’s shoulder.

Then, he looked at Sophia affectionately and said softly, “Honey, don’t be angry anymore. Let’s go get our marriage certificate now. I admit that I can’t live without you.”

What was going on?

Before Sophia could ask, David was already furious.

However, his confidence was only limited to women. When faced with a man with a stronger aura than him, he did not even have the courage to confront him head-on.

He did not dare to scold the man in front of him, so he pointed the spearhead at Sophia and said angrily, “Sophia, you’re two-timing. Your stepmother said you’re pure! Pah!”

Looking at the ordinary and confident man who left angrily.

How could Sophia not understand?

The man in front of her was just giving her an umbrella because she had been drenched in the rain.

“Thank you.” Sophia smiled and looked at the man in front of her.

Sophia knew very well that if the man in front of her hadn’t stood up in time, she really wouldn’t have been able to get rid of that ordinary man.

“You’re welcome.” The man replied with a smile.

Sophia nodded and planned to leave this three-bedroom apartment.

“Miss Wilson,” the man suddenly called out to her. “Is it possible to ask a favor of you?”

“What is it?” Sophia was puzzled.

“To get a marriage certificate together?” The man smiled.
