Chapter 225 Brother's Love Interest
As Abella got out of the car at the entrance of Long Island Manor, her phone suddenly rang.
"Boss, there's some progress on the old fire incident. We caught two suspects, but they refuse to talk. I'm afraid if we continue to press them, they won't make it. Do you want to come over?"
"Okay." After hanging up the phone, Abella saw that the taxi driver hadn't left yet, so she got back into the car. "Please go to Valleydale."
The driver was taken aback and asked, "Is it the large mansion on the top of the South Mountain in the outskirts?"
They say that's the private residence of some wealthy individual, and ordinary people can't get in!
There are also rumors that the wealthy individual has a bad temper. When a car enters the territory of that mountain, pillars rise from the road, blocking your way forward...
If the person in the car is curious and gets out to explore, a large group of bodyguards will appear with an imposing aura.
In short, no one dares to go there!
The driver glanced at the rearview mirror. Does this little girl know someone inside Valleydale?
It's Long Island Manor again, and now it's Valleydale. This girl's identity seems extraordinary.
But if she's so important, why doesn't she have her own driver and car and has to take a taxi?
The driver couldn't figure it out.
"You can't go all the way to the mountaintop. Just drop me off at the foot of the mountain."
"Okay, make sure to fasten your seatbelt." The driver quickly stepped on the gas and drove off.
From a luxury business car not far away, Blake saw it all...
What a beautiful young girl. Who is she? Why does she look so charming?
He had never seen such a beautiful girl before, with a delicate and outstanding face, exuding a cool and confident aura.
Both her appearance and temperament were to his taste!
"She must have just left your place and took a taxi home? She seems to be a thrifty and frugal girl." Blake's manager, Kevin, saw through his thoughts and spared no praise. "Could she be the blind date your mother arranged for you? She's of a good standard this time!"
Such a good-looking blind date... When did his mother have such good taste?
"I know you're going home to accompany your sister, so take a break for a couple of days."
"Thanks." Blake patted his shoulder and didn't forget to bring the...
"The gift for my sister is ready," Blake said as he walked in.
In the living room, Mrs. Medici was sitting on the couch. When she saw Blake, she couldn't help but set down her teacup and give him a barrage of complaints.
"So you finally decided to come back? Your sister has been back for a few days already. All you do is stay busy..."
Blake chuckled, "Mom, why does your hand feel heavier? Have you been eating too much lately?"
"Are you saying I've gained weight?" Mrs. Medici playfully hit him a couple of times, then had someone bring a scale. "I have indeed gained a pound, dear heavens! Quickly tell the kitchen not to make my portion for tonight's midnight snack!"
"What about my sister?" Blake smiled, looking left and right, but couldn't find his sister. He scratched his head, wondering if she was asleep.
"Now you care about your sister? It's too late!"
Mrs. Medici hummed dismissively and turned away, leaving Blake a little confused. What did she mean by "too late"??
"Is she gone?"
"Could you speak properly?" Mrs. Medici couldn't help hitting him again. "Your sister is doing fine. She's gone out and won't be back so soon."
"...Then I'll go upstairs and take a shower."
"Wait, I haven't finished speaking yet..."
Seeing Blake effortlessly ascend the stairs with his long legs, Mrs. Medici felt a bit angry. He must know what she wanted to say and deliberately avoided her!
Forty minutes later, Blake came downstairs again and found a seat, picking up a few pieces of fruit from the table to eat.
"Still no sign of my sister?"
Mrs. Medici caught him and immediately said, "You say you're busy every day! You're already an adult, why not give some thought to getting married!"
Suddenly, something crossed her mind and she couldn't help asking, "I heard that your circle is quite chaotic... Do men only like men? Are you one too...?"
Blake almost choked on a grape, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about!"
His strong reaction caught Mrs. Medici's attention, making her suspicious. "Blake, tell Mom the truth. Do you have a boyfriend? Is that why you don't want to come home for blind dates? If you do, just say it. Mom isn't narrow-minded..."
"Mom, what are you talking about!"
"Even if you're gay, Mom can accept it. At least it's better than being single!"
Blake couldn't believe it, "Mom, I'm not some unsellable goods! I'm a young and vigorous man!"
"Then why don't you have a girlfriend? Even though you're not handsome, not tall, and getting a little older..."
"Mom, I'm only 22! How am I old?" Blake couldn't help but retort.
"Your former classmate, who is the same age as you, got engaged recently. I even went to their wedding banquet!" Mrs. Medici sighed, "When will it be your turn?"
Blake popped two grapes into his mouth and calmly said, "Soon."
"Really? When?" Mrs. Medici was pleasantly surprised. "So you have someone you like? Does Mom know her??"
"Well, I did find a girl who seems quite special..."
"Really? Which Miss does she belong to?" Mrs. Medici hurriedly asked, "What's her name? How old is she? Where is she from?"
"Just tonight, that little girl near our doorstep... she looks quite special."
"Our doorstep? Are you talking about Hailey?"
"She is Hailey??" Now it was Blake's turn to be surprised. Although they used to play together when they were young, Hailey went abroad with her parents as she grew up and only returned in the past two years. But has her appearance changed so drastically? He couldn't even recognize her.
"Yes, she came to visit us tonight with a gift. Look at how respectful other people's children are compared to you!" Mrs. Medici couldn't help but scold. "You come all the way back here and don't even pay your parents any respects!"
"You said I didn't need to bring anything, just myself, right?"
"I even told you to get married this year. Did you listen?" Mrs. Medici muttered a few more words before asking, "How many days are you on leave? Hailey will come over tomorrow. I'll arrange for the two of you to meet. I have to say, I quite like this short-haired, big-eyed girl..."
"Short hair??" Now Blake was in shock. "The girl I just mentioned had long hair!"
"Long hair?" Mrs. Medici recalled, "Another girl came tonight with long hair. Could it be her?"
She took out her phone and showed Blake the pictures.
