Heinz repeated the words to his wife because he saw the surprised expression on her face.
"Really? I didn't mishear him, right?" Roxie still looked as though it hadn't sunk in yet that her son was
going out on a date.
Then she turned to look at Heinz and pinched him as hard as she could. She then innocently blinked
her eyes up at him and glared at him. "Does it hurt?"
Heinz was still in the military and trained regularly. So he had a strong physique, and he was also
hardened against pain, so no matter how hard Roxie pinched him, it had no effect on him. He didn't feel
the pain at all.
However, when he noticed that Roxie was glaring at him expectantly, he immediately pretended to be
in pain. "Ouch! That really hurts. You didn't mishear Greyson. He has indeed gone out on a date with
someone."
Though he was pinched by Roxie, that didn't hurt him at all. What did hurt him was the fact that Roxie
wanted to inflict pain on him as a sort of confirmation way because of their son, Greyson. Sometimes
Heinz wished that Greyson had never been born, and at least that way, his life with Roxie wouldn't
have been disrupted by him.
When Roxie heard Heinz's words and saw that she had hurt Heinz, she felt pleased and then let go of
his arms and ignored him.
"Well, I have to prepare a gift for my future daughter-in-law now."
Greyson wasn't aware that his casual words gave Roxie so much hope and such a wonderful surprise.
...
Ashley and Greyson had agreed to meet each other at the coffee shop
which happened to be close to where the girls lived.
She preferred this coffee shop as opposed to the one where Peggy arranged for her to go on the blind
date yesterday.
Even though this one wasn't as luxurious as the one Peggy chose, it was, however, quaint and elegant.
And the coffee and food were reasonably priced.
They were planning to meet at the coffee shop at 10 o'clock in the morning. And since Ashley and Ellie
lived nearby, they arrived earlier than Greyson.
When Greyson arrived there, he could see Ashley and Ellie through the shop window, sitting at a table
and chatting.
One of them wore her hair in a bun, dressed in a simple white T-shirt and a pair of black jeans, which
made her look young, vivacious and pretty.
The other one wore a knee-length faint yellow dress, with her black hair hanging down to her waist.
She looked beautiful, gentle and attractive.
"Ashley, Ellie, I'm not late, am I?" Greyson said as he approached their table interrupting them. A sweet
smile spread across his adorable face. When he smiled, his whole face lit up and two canine teeth and
two slight dimples on his cheeks could be seen, which made him look very cute.
Ashley and Ellie couldn't help but stare at him with admiration.
Ashley noticed how stunning Greyson's eyes were when she first saw him, and even when he was
disheveled they still stood out. Otherwise, she would not have been so nice to him and bought him food
back then. Now that he was all cleaned up and dressed well, Ashley was surprised that not only did he
have attractive eyes but his whole appearance was adorable as well. Ashley and Ellie were both
attracted to him.
The girls quickly recovered from their surprise at how attractive Greyson was and smiled back at him.
And then Ashley spoke up, "No, you aren't late. We just came earlier."
Greyson joined them and sat opposite the two girls.
"What would you like to drink?" Ashley asked.
Greyson replied in a gentle voice, "I'll have a cappuccino."
Ashley nodded, beckoned the waiter over and then ordered a cup of cappuccino.
Ashley always thought that cappuccino was more of a ladies' favorite drink. She didn't expect that an
attractive young man like Greyson would also like it.
"I've been drinking cappuccino ever since I was a child. And I also like sweet food." Greyson felt a little
embarrassed and had a slight flush of pink to his cheeks.
His cute appearance really appealed to Ashley and Ellie.
Ashley and Ellie gave each other a knowing look and smiled. Both of the girls would love to caress
Greyson's face.
"Well, it's okay. I also think that cappuccino is great," Ashley remarked.
Another thing that surprised Ashley, was how such a likable, charming young man could be a hacker.
She had a vision in her head of what the cliche hacker would look like. She thought that he would be a
homebody, who looked scruffy and unkempt. That was the sort of person she visualized when she
thought of a computer hacker.
Ashley found that many of the people that she had met of late, were not what she had expected. And
she couldn't treat them as ordinary people in the usual way.
"He looks so cute and young. Is he an adult or still a boy? I really want to touch his face. It might be
very smooth to touch."
"The two girls sitting with him might be his sisters. They are really beautiful. They must have inherited
their parents' good looks."
"I want to have that handsome man's WeChat. Can you come with me?"
"Okay. I also want to have his WeChat."
"Then let's go."
Two girls who were sitting nearby kept on talking about Greyson in hushed voices and glancing at him
from time to time. At last, they decided to approach Greyson and boldly ask for his WeChat.
Ashley and Ellie were both speechless and surprised that they could be so presumptuous.
They also happened to notice that the two girls seemed to be gawking at Greyson.
And they also heard the two girls giving them praises about how beautiful they were, which seemed to
please them.
They silently fixed their eyes on Greyson's young, charming baby face. If they didn't know him and just
happened to have seen him today, they would probably also have been bold and come over to ask him
for his WeChat, because he was really very attractive.
Then the two girls walked up to Greyson. "Hi! My name is Jennifer Li... Could I have your WeChat?"
one of the girls stuttered, looking at Greyson and blushing.
After she finished asking, the girl's face became even redder, almost as red as an apple.
"I'm sorry. I don't have a WeChat account," Greyson replied in a gentle voice, looking at the girl who
went bright red. At the same time, he wore a sympathetic smile on his face.
"It doesn't matter if you don't have one. Sorry. We..." Before the girl finished speaking, the other girl
beside her patted her on the shoulder and winked at her.
Then the girl bit her lips and asked, "Then, do you have a QQ account?"
"QQ account? I don't have it either, because my sisters make me focus on my study and not spend my
time on an instant messaging application like QQ." Greyson tilted his adorable face and looked towards
Ashley and Ellie innocently.
Ashley was amused by his words. 'How could you say that you don't have a QQ account? You chatted
with me via QQ a few days ago. Have you lost your memory?' she thought in mind.
Ellie totally admired Greyson. She thought that he was so cute that she even wanted to take him back
home.
"Oh, well. Sorry for disturbing you," the girl said, with disappointment and moroseness written on her
face. Since Greyson showed a friendly attitude towards her, she didn't say anything else except make
an apology.
Then she drew her friend to leave them.
They argued in a low voice while leaving and their voice could be heard by Ashley, Ellie and Greyson.
"You are so foolish. Now that he doesn't have a WeChat or QQ account, you could have asked his
sisters for their WeChat or QQ account numbers. You could have tried to make friends with his sisters
first, so you can have a chance to get close to him."
"Well, since you came up with such a brilliant idea, why didn't you ask them personally just now? How
could you just blame me for that?"
...
"Ashley, I didn't mean to lie to them earlier. If I didn't do that, there might be a lot of people asking me
for my QQ number." Greyson stared at Ashley, wearing a winning smile on his face.
Ashley chuckled, knowing that Greyson said those words just to hint that he was really popular among
girls.
Then Ashley asked curiously, "Oh right, are you an adult?"
Greyson answered, "Yes. I'm turning twenty-four this year!"
