Chapter 247 Blind Date
Christopher swiftly took Fanny's hand and reassured her, “Silly girl, I have faith in
you.”
“Can you
assist me then?” Fanny said with a distraught look. “I've been having trouble
cating and sleeping lately. Just the other day, some villagers came to threaten me
in a group, and I-

Tears streamed down her face as she spoke, and she sought solace in
Christopher's embrace.
Christopher gently patted her back and firmly stated, “Don’t worry. I'll help you,
but I need to involve my parents. I can’t do it alone.”
Fanny understood that even the Kins Family might struggle with this issue, so
expecting him to handle it alone was unreasonable. However, things would
become much more manageable with Michael on board.
She smiled, tenderly kissed his cheeks, and whispered, “Christopher, I knew you
wouldn't abandon me. You are my pillar from now on, and I will always stand by
your side.”
She expressed her affectionate words like a newlywed couple throughout the
afternoon, albeit with restraint due to the hospital setting. Upon leaving the
hospital, Christopher headed straight home. As he was preparing to call his
father to inquire about his return, he noticed the presence of guests.
Teresa spotted Christopher and furrowed her brow. “Christopher, where were you
this afternoon? I called you multiple times and sent several messages, but you
didn’t respond.”
Despite her reproachful tone, “there was a hint of leniency in her voice.
Christopher felt slightly sheepish. ” I'm sorry, Mom. I was out with my friends, and
my phone was silent.”
Having just returned from the hospital, he had not checked his phone promptly.

Teresa smiled and did not dwell on the matter. She gestured to the girl beside her
and said,. “Allow me to introduce Miss Martinez. Sophia, this is my inept son. I
hope you can guide him in the future so he doesn't remain clueless.”
Sophia blushed slightly, “Ms. Webb, you're teasing me. I'm not that remarkable,”
Sophia had a beautiful, long black hair that was slightly curled, giving her a
vibrant appearance. Her visage was delicate, with refined features and a gentle
smile that revealed a set of pristine, white teeth. On top of that, her complexion
was smooth and fair, exuding a
She extended her hand to Christopher and said, “Hello, I'm Sophia Martinez. Ms.
Webb was proactive during our conversation, so I decided to come over and
meet you.”
Sophia was slender, elegantly attired, and carried herself with grace and warmth,
emanating a sense of comfort and ease.
Christopher shook her hand out of courtesy. “I'm Christopher.”
Teresa observed their interaction with a smile, contemplating Sophia's beauty,
confidence, and elegance. She believed a woman like her would be a suitable
partner for her son, aiding him in business.
Unlike Fanny, who feigned weakness, Sophia displayed generosity and initiative
in conversing with Christopher. Despite any underlying intentions Christopher
might have had, he was influenced by her bubbly personality and engaged in
dialogue.
While they were having their time, Teresa prepared dinner in the kitchen.
As evening approached, Sophia suggested departing, but Teresa insisted she
stay for dinner, asserting, “You must stay for dinner tonight, no excuses.”
Sophia replied with a hint of embarrassment, “I've been here all afternoon. I don't
want to be a bother for your family time.”
Teresa dismissed her concerns by saying, “You're not bothering us. In fact, you
young folks have been patient enough to keep this old lady company all
afternoon. I'm truly delighted, not inconvenienced in the least.”
Sophia chuckled. “Ms. Webb, you look like Christopher's sister, not an old lady.
So, don't say that.”
Teresa felt genuinely pleased. She did not consider herself old. It was just a
modest way of speaking. With a few words, Sophia stopped declining and agreed
to stay for dinner. Michael, who had been informed early, returned home early to
join them for dinner. He understood Teresa's intentions.
Teresa set up this blind date with Sophia for Christopher, and he was willing to go
along. Whoever she was, she was certainly better than Fanny. The idea of a
commoner marrying into the Sanders Family seemed far—fetched.
The dinner proceeded smoothly, with everyone enjoying themselves. As Sophia
prepared to leave, Teresa asked Christopher to escort her directly.
Sophia waved her hand, saying, “It's fine, Ms. Webb. I have already called the
driver from home. He will be here soon.”
Teresa gently insisted, “It's okay. Christopher doesn't have anything to do
anyway. You can call the driver and tell him not to come. Christopher, Miss
Martinez is a guest. You should give her a ride.”
Michael also chimed in, “Yes, go ahead.”
Christopher had no choice but to agree, as he still had matters to discuss with his
father. Sophia was not shy and understood the situation, welcoming more
opportunities to get to know each other.
Watching them walk away, Teresa felt increasingly satisfied with how well they
matched. During the ride, Christopher was preoccupied and did not say much.
After some contemplation, Sophia starts the conversation by saying, “You don't
seem very fond of me.”
Christopher was surprised with his furrowed eyebrow, “Pardon?”
“Do you know the purpose of this meeting?”
“Huh?”
“We are on a blind date,” Sophia explained. “But I feel like you are not fully
present.”

Although it had not been explicitly
stated, Christopher understood.
However, burdened with his
thoughts, he did not want to dwell on
them. He knew that Sophia was a girl

not want to offend her. The content

Upon arriving home, he hurried to Michael's study. Seeing him back, Michael
smiled rarely. “Miss Martinez’s father just called me and mentioned that you're
not bad.”
Christopher replied with a bright smile. “Dad, I need to discuss something with
you.”
In a good mood, Michael nodded. “Go ahead.”
Christopher furrowed his brow, trying to figure out how to articulate his thoughts.
