Chapter 1709: Where Eyes Meet, Eternity Begins: Love at First Sight (3000+)

Daxton Lancaster was particularly happy when he returned home from work, even Violet Zimmerman noticed it.

She didn’t want to inquire, fearing Daxton Lancaster might use it as an excuse to vent if she did, yet if she asked, she worried he’d think she was probing for information. After some hesitation, Violet Zimmerman cautiously spoke up.

“Is there a happy occasion today, you’re so cheerful?”

“Yes, there is.” Daxton Lancaster said with a smile as he handed his coat to Sister Zhang.

“Today I helped Joseph meet someone, they fell in love at first sight. I’ve reserved a restaurant, and tomorrow the parents from both sides will meet.”

The smile on Violet Zimmerman’s face seemed stiff, “Really? Joseph finally found a girl he likes, that’s great.”

“Yes, I think so too.” Daxton Lancaster sat down on the sofa, nodding with satisfaction.

Joy Spencer has high education, strong work capability, she’s also pretty, quite a good match for his brother.

“Dad, will you take Robert and little brother to the restaurant?” Robert Lancaster crouched on the carpet playing with toys, while Evander Lancaster was sprawled on the rug, following his brother and causing mischief.

“Second Uncle is going on a date, our Robert must go.” Daxton Lancaster agreed with a smile, but didn’t mention whether Evander Lancaster would be brought along.

Although Robert Lancaster was young, he had a sharp mind. He held a small piece of a building block and puzzledly asked, “Then what about Evander, will Dad let little brother go?”

“Evander is small, let him stay at home.”

Initially, Robert Lancaster really wanted to go to the restaurant, but upon hearing his dad say little brother wouldn’t be brought along, he wasn’t as eager anymore. He went back to continue building a big house for his brother, “If little brother doesn’t go, I won’t either. Robert will stay home and play with little brother.”

Daxton Lancaster didn’t force him, turned around, and rested his hand on Violet Zimmerman’s shoulder, “Tomorrow, stay home and take care of the sons. I’ll go with Mom and Dad, don’t worry, we’ll be back after dinner.”

“Alright,” Violet Zimmerman nodded in agreement, feeling a little uncomfortable inside. On one hand, because she wasn’t valued, and on the other, because her brother-in-law now had a girlfriend.

Daxton Lancaster was a man of action, and Joseph Lancaster wasn’t slow either; during lunch break the next day, he had already asked Joy Spencer out.

Joseph Lancaster chose a restaurant with a private room. It was unclear whether it was because of its elegant environment, but the main reason was for the convenience of conversation.

Having just met yesterday and already asking her out for dinner today, any girl would feel shy. Joy Spencer sat across from Joseph Lancaster, her head bowed, not daring to look at anyone.

After the waiter served the dishes, Joseph Lancaster took the initiative to pick up the chopsticks, “Let’s eat, we can talk while eating.”

“Okay.”

Joy Spencer picked up her chopsticks shyly, taking small bites of her food.

Joseph Lancaster sighed and said, “I’ll just call you Joy, calling you Miss Spencer is too cumbersome.”

“Alright, in the future, I’ll call you Joseph, is that alright?” Joy Spencer raised her head slightly, her demeanor shy yet somewhat poised.

Perhaps because Joseph Lancaster was too excellent, they had only recently met, so it was embarrassing for her to be as openly courteous as with a client.

Joseph Lancaster reluctantly curled his lips, “That’s fine.”

“If you have something to say, go ahead, I’m listening.” Joy Spencer put down her chopsticks, clearly a very polite girl.

“No need to be this reserved, let’s eat.” Joseph Lancaster gestured, and Joy Spencer picked up her chopsticks again.

Joseph Lancaster continued eating elegantly while speaking, “Joy, I think I owe you an apology.”

“Why?”

Joy Spencer looked at Joseph Lancaster, puzzled.

Joseph Lancaster curled his lips again, put down his chopsticks, leaning back in his chair, his gaze fell on the food before him.

“The thing is, my career has just started, I didn’t intend to get a girlfriend this early, but the family is pressuring me, so…”

As Joseph Lancaster spoke to this point, Joy Spencer already understood something, and subconsciously asked, “So… you’re just putting on a show for your manager?”

After Joy Spencer asked, Joseph Lancaster finally raised his eyes, looked at her eyes seriously and said, “That’s right. If I disagree, my elder brother will keep arranging blind dates for me. Both he and I are busy, I don’t want to waste each other’s time, so I had no choice but to pretend to really like you,”

“Don’t you like me?” Before Joseph Lancaster could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Joy Spencer, who bit her lip and murmured, showing clear disappointment.

Despite being a college graduate with a good job and good looks, never lacking pursuers, her standards were too high, to date, she had only found an interest in Joseph Lancaster.

Joseph Lancaster sighed again, “Joy, I won’t deny that you’re a girl who can make a man’s heart flutter, but I’m sorry, I truly don’t want to date anyone. I may as well tell you, I have psychological issues, and I’m against marriage.”
