Chapter 321: What am I waiting for?
Samantha and Maria's conversation was clearly overheard by Ivy.
After putting the children to sleep, Ivy quickly came to the hall, wanting to have a good chat with Maria.
Unexpectedly, she found out that Maria is interested in Blake, and it seems like Blake has some interest in Maria as well.
However, Samantha is not willing to allow Blake to become her son-in-law, the reason being- Blake is too dark-skinned!
"Ivy, are the children asleep?" Maria asked wearily.
"Yes, they are all asleep," Ivy patted Maria's shoulder, "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely help you."
"How can you help me?" Maria sounded somewhat pessimistic, "I do like Blake, but he's ten years younger than me. He probably wouldn't want to be with someone ten years older than him. And even if he does, my mother would never allow it, she says it's for the sake of future generations.
Although I don't support this view, what can I do? I am almost 40 years old, not a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl who can defy her family for love and happiness. My mother is already old, I want her to spend her remaining years in peace, not be bothered by my invisible unhappiness."
At this point, Maria sighed helplessly, "Forget it, I won't pursue it anymore, let it be. After all these years, Blake is still young, he has better options. I am a widow, I don't have the right to hold a young man like him back."
Just at that moment, Blake finished showering and came to the hall. Upon hearing Maria's words, he didn't know how to react for a moment.
He stood there dumbfounded, but excitement flashed in his eyes.
This woman likes him!
In all his life, it was the first time a woman liked him.
Although she is a few years older, what does age really represent?
Sincerity is what matters most.
And this woman is kind-hearted and beautiful.
Previously, he fell in love at first sight with Ivy, thinking that his love had arrived, but Ivy had no interest in him at all. Besides, Ivy already has someone in her life, and her children are four years old.
What could he do? He could only give up on that love.
Now, with Maria's appearance, his hope for love reignited.
However, Maria's mother has objections to his dark skin, which is indeed a headache.
Maria didn't expect Blake to suddenly appear and felt that the things she just said were quite embarrassing.
She planned to make a swift exit.
"Uhm, well, I'll go...to the bathroom."
"Maria..."
Blake suddenly stopped in the middle of Maria's path.
He had a lot to say, but in the end, he only said two words.
"Are you in a hurry?"
"Uhm...Ah, well, yes, I am in a hurry." Maria blushed deeply.
"Then...go to the bathroom first, I'll wait for you!"
After saying this, Blake regretted it, why couldn't he say something else?
Look at what he just said, what was he thinking?
"What...what am I waiting for?" Maria's face grew even redder.
"Waiting..."
Blake didn't know why he suddenly got tongue tied, but he couldn't express what he wanted to say.
"Well then... wait... wait for me to... say it again..."
Maria was also frustrated, not understanding why she suddenly started to stutter along with Blake.
After saying this sentence, she immediately escaped to the restroom.
She turned on the faucet and splashed her face with the ice-cold tap water without stopping.
She needed to calm down!
From their conversation just now, it could be felt that Blake did indeed have feelings for her, and her mother was not wrong.
Just the thought of Blake liking her made Maria's heart beat uncontrollably faster.
After taking a few deep breaths, she pretended to be calm and returned to the lobby.
