Chapter 4549
After what happened—and especially since it happened with her nemesis—Romina was genuinely shaken.
She didn’t dare get drunk again.
Even if she ever drank, she’d have to control her intake. After all, too much alcohol could damage her health.
Grandpa Lafond said, “After lunch, if your headache’s not too bad, you should set up a meeting with Maddox. He really helped you last night. If he hadn’t stepped in and contained the situation, everyone would be gossiping about it today. Maddox is a good kid—I’ve always thought highly of him. But I’ve noticed you never really had feelings for him. He didn’t seem to feel anything deeper for you either. You met once on a blind date and didn’t follow up. Now you’re meeting again, and it’s going nowhere.
Romina, you’re almost thirty. You need to start thinking seriously about your future. If you’re too busy to focus on your personal life, then I’ll take away a few of the roles you’re juggling and give you time to relax—like other girls your age, going shopping, eating out, catching movies with a boyfriend.”
Romina quickly said, “Grandpa, please don’t take away any of my positions. I can handle everything. It’s not that I’m not thinking about settling down—I am. If you want me to go on a blind date, I’ll go. If you want me to invite someone to dinner, I’ll do that too. I just haven’t met someone who makes me want to give up being single. What can I do? Marriage is for life. I want to marry someone I truly like, and who likes me back.
