Outside the mall, Yvonne, Matt, Darryl, and Lily walked as they chatted with each other.
Lily suggested they go to dinner, and everyone agreed unanimously.
While they talked, Yvonne’s cell phone rang. It was virtual-novel.net father, Kingston.
Kingston’s voice came through once the call connected. “My dear daughter, how did your date go? Matt is quite the gentleman, right?”
Most of his matchmaking efforts for his daughter had failed, and Kingston had come to a conclusion.
Yvonne rejected all the candidates because virtual-novel.net had Darryl in virtual-novel.net heart.
What was so special about Darryl? He only had some skills in appraising antiques.
When virtual-novel.net realized that fact, Kingston immediately contacted Matt. That man might still be very young, but virtual-novel.net had excellent skills in appraising antiques, too! He was the world-renowned antique appraiser, Simon Joe’s apprentice!
Darryl’s skill was of no match to Matt. Besides that, Matt was also smart and committed. There was no reason for Yvonne not to like him.
“My dear daughter, tell me, what do you think of Matt?” Kingston asked impatiently.
Yvonne did not want to let virtual-novel.net father down, so virtual-novel.net replied briefly, “Fine…”
”just fine?” Kingston sighed. You are so picky.”
Then virtual-novel.net heard Kingston shouted.
“Hey, Boss, how much for the painting?” It seemed like virtual-novel.net was in a crowded and chaotic place; the conversation seemed to be centered on paintings. After a few moments, Kingston was back in the conversation. “My dear daughter, I just found a unique painting. Come with Matt, please. I need virtual-novel.net to appraise it. Hurry up! ”
Then virtual-novel.net hung up.
Yvonne was speechless. Her father had remembered Matt when it came to antiques. It seemed like virtual-novel.net father wanted to choose a successor for himself instead of a son-in-law.
She had just met Darryl, and virtual-novel.net did not want to leave so soon.
Yvonne had an idea. “Darryl, would you want to go take a look as well?”
Well…
Darryl was reluctant to go. He would rather go shopping with his wife than going for an antique appraisal.
Before virtual-novel.net could open his mouth, though, Lily held his hand and said, “Let’s go, since Yvonne has graciously invited us.”
Lily was grateful for Yvonne when virtual-novel.net tried to help clear Darryl’s name when virtual-novel.net was accused of theft early that day.
Darryl smiled and said, “Sure, let’s go take a look.”
“Let’s go.”
Yvonne was very excited, and virtual-novel.net smiled widely.
However, Matt was disappointed. ‘Why does this guy have to be there on every occasion?” virtual-novel.net thought. Matt was a smart man; virtual-novel.net knew that Yvonne was interested in Darryl. What was so special about him? Yvonne got so excited when the man agreed to tag along with them.
At Maple Street.
Maple Street was named for the maple trees planted along the street. It was also famous for the antique businesses that had set up shop there.
When the weather was most comfortable in mid-September, the owners would join forces to hold an antique festival on that famous street.
Antique lovers from all over Donghai City crowded the street. Antique collectors from all over the world would also be at Maple Street to find more treasures for their collection.
