Capítulo 23: Chapter 31 A Push Matchmaking

((( Jasmin POV's )))

I shrugged my head in disapproval. "You're joking."

"Do I look like it?"

"You don't look like a clown but damn, you have a talent to be one," I spat in annoyance. "What did you even saw in me? I'm not even beautiful!"

"You are! I was in fact, blinded by your dazzling beauty," I frowned at his clichéd pickup line. It was so cheesy I wanted to puke again right now to turn him off. I always hated awkward moments like this.

"Clarita's boyfriend?!" Ma excitedly spoke when she emerged from her room.

"Her suitor," Derick answered.

Ma's eyes widened like golden coins as she smelled our family's chance of getting out of poverty. As expected, she was ready to sell me off. "You are Governor Brundon's son, right? How affectionate of you to even go the slums just to meet my daughter!"

"I am," Derick smiled.

"Here's your juice Derick," Nadine interrupted when she came back with a glass of orange drink.

I shrugged at the charade I was seeing and excused myself to change clothing. I had tried to avoid him the moment I noticed he was taking interest in me but it was of no use. He was still here and was being interrogated by my second family. Someone like him doesn't suit someone like me. We're like oil and water, we don't mix well at all.

His smile was wide when I returned. He seemed to be answering a question that had just been asked "I do. And I will not give up until she becomes mine."

I choked while my family cheered on him.

"Derick," I forced a smile "I think it's dangerous for you to be staying here this late. People know you. I'll escort you out to the highway."

"Thanks but it's better for you to be resting already," he advised. I know right! I'm just being adequately thoughtful. "I'll be going then."

Dexter volunteered to go with him and when they were finally out, Ma and Nadine turned to persuade me.

"Don't be so hard to get, Clarita," Ma enthused. "It��s one heck of a luck for a rich to fall for someone below their status."

I was right about their motive.

A matchmaking for the benefit of the least.
