“You guys said, just go on blind dates if Lizzie wants to, it’s not embarrassing at all. Stop making a big deal out of it.”
A few women were whispering to each other, not realizing that a man was walking past them carrying something.
The man was dressed casually, but he stood up straighter than most people.
He heard the gossip, stopped in his tracks, and turned towards them.
“Ladies, you said, who went on a blind date?”
The women stopped chatting and looked at the man together.
“Who are you? I don’t know you.”
“Hello, I was a soldier under Mr. Trevino. Mr. Trevino passed away, so I’m here to look after his sister and the Emery family.”
A few women heard Aedan’s name and relaxed their guard, chatting away about their guesses – a man driving a car with a child coming to meet Lizzie.
The man listened, his expression getting weirder and weirder.
“Ms. Trevino, you went on a blind date so soon?”
“You know, it’s normal for a girl to break up and go on blind dates when she’s eighteen. Hey, are you really Aedan’s soldier? Why are you asking about Lizzie? Do you like Lizzie?”
“If you want to like him, you better hurry up. The guy who drives a car

is pretty good, except he has a kid.”
The man, without thinking, ended up walking the way he used to go, halfway through he realized it wasn’t right, so he headed to “the Trevino’s house“.
He wanted to see what kind of person Lizzie was going on a blind date with, so he could report back to Theron!
Lizzie held Vivian in her arms as Colton pushed the wheelchair into the house.
Glenna handed Oswaldo a bowl of hot sugar water, who was sitting awkwardly in the chair.
He held an enamel bowl, but sat very stiffly, with his back straight and his eyes looking around uncomfortably.
Sitting on the sofa next to him, Zackery had a look of indifference, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
Oswaldo gave him a few looks, signaling him to say something to get himself out of the situation.
Zackery, on the other hand, seemed like he didn’t get the signal at all, or maybe he just didn’t want to. When he looked over, he deliberately lowered his head and sipped on the sugar water in his bowl.
Until Lizzie came in, Oswaldo almost immediately stood up, with a bit of a dramatic movement, as if he had been burned by something, the relieved expression on his face was clear to see.
He walked quickly up to Lizzie, “Lizzie!”
“Mr. Murphy, how did you get here?” Lizzie felt strange, they had just separated for less than half an hour, and he didn’t say he was bringing Vivian.

Oswaldo’s gaze fell back on Lizzie again, this time with a hint of unease he couldn’t hide. He habitually pushed up the black–framed glasses on his nose, his fingers curling slightly unnaturally,
He hesitated and said, “Um, it’s… it’s Vivian Vivian said she missed you and insisted on coming to see you.”
His eyes subconsciously glanced at Vivian, who was being held by Lizzie, as he curiously looked around.
Lizzie was quick on the uptake and suddenly it all clicked.
Just as she left Equinox Research Institute, she deliberately mentioned the lithography machine to make Terrence pay attention and
investigate Equinox Research Laboratory sooner, to help her clear her
name.
As a result, I didn’t hook Terrence, but instead caught Oswaldo, this research maniac.
He wasn’t just accompanying Vivian, he was clearly unable to hold back and was asking her about the lithography machine.
Lizzie looked up and saw Zackery winking at her, confirming that Oswaldo couldn’t sit still and came running over.
Her mouth curled slightly, pretending not to notice anything. She gently placed her hands under Vivian’s soft armpits and lifted her up, facing her.
“Oh? Vivian misses me? Then I’ll cook something delicious for Vivian tonight, how about that?”
She teased Vivian in her arms with a gentle tone, but her eyes glanced at Oswaldo standing/beside them as if in a daze.
When Oswaldo heard this, he immediately got anxious. He didn’t come

here just to freeload, you know!
He wanted to talk about the lithography machine! It’s that technology that was blocked by foreign countries!
“Hey, Ms. Trevino, how can I let you treat me! Last time we agreed that I would treat you to a meal to thank you for saving Vivian, but I never found the time. How about… how about today?”
He finished speaking, and then he wanted to bite his own tongue!
Is it time to say this now? How could he be so dumb, not saying a word that should have been said!
