Crises in Love novel Chapter 576

Janice's comment had us all cracking up.

"Come on, is it really that dramatic?" Geneva chided Janice with a laugh.

"You have no idea what I was feeling at that moment." Janice put on a melodramatic expression of utter despair, but quickly added, "Actually, Baber is not ugly. At first glance, nobody gives him a second look. On a second look, he's passable. But now, after seeing him a lot, I think he's quite handsome."

"Oh, please! Your taste must have changed" Catherine was blunt as ever.

Hannah couldn't help but cover her mouth to stifle a laugh.

I joined in with a playful jab at Catherine, "Why do you have to be such a buzzkill? Don't say that, even though it's true."

Geneva and Janetta both giggled along.

In the midst of the levity, Janice playfully swatted at Catherine's arm, "Don't you dare gloat, or your beloved DragonLord could be on the next boat out!"

Raising her hands in a pleading gesture, Catherine quickly said, "Can we please stay on topic?"

Janice then resumed her story, "You can't imagine how disappointed I felt. I was ready to walk out right then and there. But the matchmaker insisted we go for a walk alone, and it was so distressing. After all, the matchmaker was my mom's boss. How could I say no? I had to bite the bullet and walk out of the matchmaker's house with him for some one-on-one time. I figured I'd just get through the day, and we'd never see each other again. We're adults, no need for pettiness. Besides, he was a man of standing, a real catch."

We all laughed again at her words.

With a serious face, Janice continued, "But that one-on-one time swayed me. He was quick-witted, well-spoken, and the epitome of a gentleman."

"What did you two talk about?" I asked, curious.
