Chapter 6

The person Zoey referred to was Alfred Jeffery, the eldest son of the Jeffery family. He was charming, gentle, considerate, and quite romantic, typically the epitome of what women often call Prince Charming.

Oprah looked at Zoey coldly. "If Mr. Jeffery is so outstanding, why don't you marry him?"

"Because I believe he's more suited to you. He will surely bring you happiness." Zoey's words sounded sincere, as if she genuinely wished for Oprah's happiness.

Oprah was uninterested.

On the other hand, Roxanne was swayed and hastily said, "Oprah, why don't you meet Mr. Alfred when you have time, have a meal together, and become friends first?"

Oprah was about to refuse when she happened to catch a mocking expression on Burgess's face. He seemed to ridicule Roxanne for eagerly selling her daughter and seeking status.

Burgess leisurely said, "The Jeffery family has always had high standards. I don't think Oprah and Alfred make a good match."

Upon hearing this, Oprah knew that Burgess was mocking her humble background, implying that she was unworthy of a prestigious family like Jeffery's. In his eyes, she lacked refinement.

She couldn't tolerate Burgess's condescending attitude.

Therefore, without hesitation, Oprah sneered, "Well, I'd like to try it and see if Alfred and I are truly compatible!"

Burgess's expression darkened. "You'll regret it!"

"What do I have to regret?" Oprah stood up and shrugged indifferently. "At worst, Alfred will break up with me, and then you can mock me just as you wish."

Burgess narrowed his eyes, giving her a cold and displeased look as if she had provoked him.

Roxanne quickly exchanged glances with Oprah, silently signaling her, "Oprah, Burgess is your brother. No matter what, he's doing it for your good. Don't always try to provoke him. Apologize to your brother and be more respectful from now on."

Oprah felt a knot in her chest. Unsure of what to do, she turned her head and walked away.

But Burgess grabbed her arm.

Oprah couldn't shake him off. Old Mr. Harrison said, "Alright, alright, let's go eat first."

The family dinner was tasteless.

Oprah hastily took a few bites, wished Old Mr. Harrison a happy birthday, and quickly left his house.

She didn't want to stay there for another moment.

The following day, Zoey enthusiastically invited Oprah and Alfred to a charming café and introduced them to each other.

After Zoey left, Alfred smiled and said to Oprah, "I never imagined that I would be sitting here, having a blind date with a beautiful girl like you."

His smile eased Oprah's embarrassment.

Oprah glanced at Alfred and found him as elegant and charming as Zoey had described.

So she playfully asked, "Alfred, you shouldn't have trouble finding a girlfriend, right? Why did you agree to this blind date with me?"

"I could turn the same question back at you."

They smiled at each other and decided not to dwell on that topic. Instead, they discussed other things that interested them.

At noon, Oprah had lunch with him. In the afternoon, they went to see a movie. In the evening, Alfred accompanied her back to her apartment, and they exchanged contact details on W******p.

From then on, Alfred regularly invited Oprah to have meals together, watch movies, visit art exhibitions, and take strolls in the park... And each time they met, Alfred would bring her a thoughtful gift.

Oprah didn't refuse these gestures.

She found solace in being cared for and appreciated. It made her feel wanted rather than being treated as an object to please others.

Half a month later, on Valentine's Day, Oprah and Alfred officially announced they were boyfriend and girlfriend.

In the evening on the same day, Alfred called Oprah and said he had a prior engagement and couldn't have dinner with her. Therefore, Oprah went straight back to her apartment after work.

Before sleeping, Oprah received another unfamiliar text message, "Do you desire men that much?"
