The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 1544

Belinda managed to force a smile as her voice dripped with sarcasm. “You’re more than a little late, don’t

you

think?”

The man rolled up his sleeve, revealing an expensive watch. “Oh no, it’s already been over forty minutes. My

apologies, Ms. Wesley; I didn’t realize how quickly time had passed.”

Belinda, who had come here with a shred of hope of meeting a decent blind date, was now thoroughly disillusioned.

She was already figuring out an excuse to leave.

Before she could say anything, the man adjusted his thick glasses and grinned. “Regardless, we’ve now met. Let’s

not dwell on the less significant matters. I’m delighted to meet you, Ms. Wesley. Allow me to introduce myself.”

This gentleman was forty minutes late, and he expected to just brush it off?

The man didn’t wait for Belinda to respond and confidently began his self-introduction.

“My name is Dominic, 28 years old, a graduate student at M-Elite University, the top university in M State. I’m about

6 feet tall and weigh around 180 pounds. I don’t smoke or drink, and I’m looking for a sophisticated woman from a

family like yours to be my wife. And you, Ms. Wesley?”

Belinda eyed him skeptically. She hadn’t been able to gauge his height when he arrived since she was already

seated. But after looking at his chubby face, she could tell the 180 pounds part was accurate, if not an

understatement.

“Hello, Mr. Dominic. My name is Belinda. I don’t think it’s necessary for me to introduce myself because I don’t think

we’re compatible.”

Belinda said with a forced smile.

Upon hearing this, Dominic furrowed his brows in confusion. “Why? Why do you think we’re incompatible so

quickly? Ms. Wesley, you seem quite nice to me, and you’re quite beautiful. Even though you’re a bit older, I could

overlook that due to your beauty. Also, you seem to meet my height requirement. You’re about 5 feet, 5 inches,

right?”

Belinda was taken aback. This chap had the audacity to critique her?

What the hell? What did he mean by saying she was older? She was only 26. She was two years younger than him!

And he had the nerve to say she was older? What a character!

“Mr. Dominic, if I remember correctly, you said you’re 28 this year, right?” Belinda asked.

Dominic nodded confidently. “Yes, I’m only 28. Everyone around me thinks I’m very promising. I always tell them

not to flatter me, or I might become arrogant. Haha.”

Arrogant? Arrogant about what? His balding head, his thick glasses, or his chubby face?

Belinda chuckled sarcastically. “Mr. Dominic, you are indeed young at 28, but I’m only 26. Why do you say I’m

older? Don’t you find that strange?” Dominic shook his head, his face serious. “You’re a woman; you can’t compare

yourself to us men. Ms. Wesley, we’re adults, and I won’t sugarcoat things for

you. We’re here for a blind date, which is all about practicality. Look at you, a woman of 26 with an

average,education and a clerical job with no prospects. Sure, you have a pretty face, but you can’t eat beauty, can

you? Won’t I be the one supporting the family? Besides, to be blunt, a woman’s value depreciates after 25. You

have to face reality. It’s already rare for a man in my position not to look down on you.”
