Chapter 1 (2/2)
”Crystal Jane is correct,” Lavender agreed ”I'm sure Grandma has intended for Saphi to not become an old maid when she created that will”
”It's better than having our dear cousin try falling in love with a guy within a ree with that?”
”Why? Do you think soet married and then be paid after?”
”Tons will agree! No one can say no to money”
”Nevertheless, it's bad to be married for that reason”
Sapphire looked up and then covered her ears as her cousins started their discussion She is the oldest of them but she also can't think of any method
She let theued She only returned on top of her bed She went under her comforter and let herself transformed into a rolled potato
However, naturally, that didn't happen How she wished it was that easy to run away from her current dilemma
Grands difficult for me?
It's true Haley's idea is incorrect but if she can't find any solution until nexther own bookstore business will turn into burst bubbles Bye-bye money Also, bye-bye, her dreams
On the other hand, whenever she thought of falling in love with a man within a span of oose bu and kissing with a man
She sighed She buried her head on her pillow and then screas There are only two choices for her It's either she'll go with Haley's idea or force herself to fall in love with a guy
So, what to choose?
”Sapphire? Are you still alive?”
”Maybe she's i into a potato Let her be for the meantime”
Sappire suddenly rose Her hair was allher face But she paid it no heed She sharpened her eyes as she casts a penetrating gaze
”I have decided,” she said without any expression on her face She glanced towards Haley ”I'll go with your idea”
The girl clapped in glee while Crystal Jane let out a sigh
”Are you sure now?” Lavender asked to check her conviction She can see the disagreeirl knew that if Sapphire had already made up her mind, there's no way to turn it back
Sappire nodded and then stood up on the bed ”I don't want to fool Grandma, may she rest in peace But what's stated on her last will and testa joke She can't probably accept that I am a man-hater But I believe she will eventually understand me while she's in heaven”
She put her hands on her waist and stared down on the three girls ”Where can I find a man ill be blinded by wealth even if that person is already wealthy? The handsoent but does not look nerdy? Macho but not a closet queen? The type on't meddle with my affairs but faithful while we are married?”
”You will still demand qualifications?”
”Of course! I'h I will be contracting my husband-to-be, I still want to be with a man I can flaunt upon the others I want a trophy husband!”
They belong to the elite society She is fa for her to uy as well
”Oh well, start your search now, Saphi Maybe there exist so for a very manly person They have needs, mind you And sex is not out of question,” Lavender reminded
She gasped loudly as her eyes widened ”No! No! No! sex is definitely out of the box!”
”You want the guy to be faithful to you while in wedlock? Saphi, hello? The e is one year before the inheritance will be transferred to you Whatcelibate in one year?”
Why didn't she think of that a while ago? ”E-eh, I will add in the requirements, the man must not like sex”
”You sure someone like that exist?”
”Fine, then one who kno to endure!”
”For a year? I doubt”
”Maybe there will be But there won't be a large number of theht?”
”Oh ht be raped!” Suddenly, for the first tiet about her decision
”Don't you have any male friend whom you can ask?” Crystal Jane questioned her
She only shook her head Truth be told, she even doesn't have any female friend
”Saphi is aher to have a male friend? Eh, she even avoids Reeve To think that he's our cousin”
”Speaking of Reeve,” she chi that Reeve probably knew many people because of his connections The ht be acquainted with several bachelors
”Or maybe one of her wife's cousins is available,” she added Sapphire’s cousin's wife, Agatha, has a few male cousins who she has seen a couple of times after her cousin married the latter They looked behaved Maybe one of the to conspire with her even if no sex or any kind of intimacy is involved
Her three cousins suddenly grew quiet Haley was now busy with her iPhone Crystal Jane was searching so her eyes in the place
”Aye, sorry,” she wryly said She forgot these three girls have histories with the three of Agatha's male cousins ”The beloved of you, three, are now out of the choices”
”Even if you consider Reynald, he won't agree because he has his g-girlfriend,” Lavender said
”Ramses, too,” added by Crystal Jane
”More so for Gideon,” Haley muttered
She can only shake her head The iirls who can't move on She doesn't want to end up like them
She learned how these three became idiots for the men they mentioned Like how her s Men's fault, they have the habit of deceiving women
They are the ones to blame, eh In my next lifetime, I want to be the cutter of their happiness so that no woman will become brokenhearted Hah!
But for now, she really needs a grooet her happiness cut off of her
