Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot
Chapter 1689 - Chapter 1689 411 This is playing hard to get

Chapter 1689: 411: This is playing hard to get! Chapter 1689: 411: This is playing hard to get! Hearing these words, Sabrina Sabir was so excited she could barely contain herself.

The matchmaker’s statement indicated that the prospective groom had the capacity to offer 1 million dollars.

“Really?”

It just so happened that the Armstrong Clan was in need of money at the moment. This was truly like sending charcoal in snowy weather.

The matchmaker smiled and said, “Sister Beatrice, do you think I’d joke with you about this? How about we meet up and talk? Bring your daughter along too. As the matchmaker, I must see your daughter with my own eyes.”

Upon hearing this, Sabrina Sabir narrowed her eyes.

Meeting up meant they definitely couldn’t bring Christina Armstrong straight to the matchmaking agency.

Where should they go then?

A moment later, Sabrina Sabir spoke up, “Do you know the spaghetti restaurant on South Street?”

“I do,” replied the matchmaker.

Sabrina Sabir continued, “Then let’s meet at the spaghetti restaurant.”

“Okay,” the matchmaker thought for a moment, then added, “Sister Beatrice, can we meet in half an hour?”

Sabrina Sabir’s home was nearby South Street, a seven or eight minutes’ walk away.

Hearing this, Sabrina Sabir nodded, “That’s fine, no problem.”

Just as she hung up the phone, Christina Armstrong returned from outside.

Christina Armstrong had been the same for ten years.

She still wore that outdated white down jacket.

Fortunately, she was quite attractive, so it didn’t seem out of place.

As for the clothes Wennie had bought for her, they were all kept in the closet–Wennie was generous, and those clothes were high-end. How could they possibly be worn to a factory job?

They didn’t match.

“Sabrina’s back?” Sabrina Sabir flashed her big, white teeth at Christina Armstrong.

Christina Armstrong was stunned for a moment.

She felt that her mother was unusually enthusiastic today.

Something was not quite right.

“Mom.” Christina Armstrong nodded her head.

Sabrina Sabir looked at Christina Armstrong and continued, “Go inside and change your clothes; we’re going out to eat spaghetti today.”

That was even stranger.

Sabrina Sabir would rather save every penny for George Armstrong, when had she ever taken her out to eat spaghetti?

It was like a dream.

Somewhat surreal.

“Where is Dad?” asked Christina Armstrong.

“He’s cooking in the kitchen,” Sabrina Sabir replied.

Christina Armstrong rolled up her sleeves, not taking Sabrina Sabir’s words to heart, “I’ll go help Dad.”

Upon hearing this, Sabrina Sabir frowned slightly, a look of displeasure on her face, “I already said we’re going to eat spaghetti together.”

How could she be so clueless?

No wonder George Armstrong managed to get into college, while Christina Armstrong could only work in a factory.

“Go change your clothes.”

The last sentence left no room for argument.

Christina Armstrong was somewhat afraid of her mother. She glanced at her mother and said, “Okay.”

It was an innate fear.

Ever since she could remember, her mother had never smiled at her.

Her mother’s tenderness and smiles were all reserved for her younger brother.

She was like an onlooker.

Sabrina Sabir added, “Remember to put on something nice.”

“I know.”

Christina Armstrong took out the form-fitting long down jacket that Wennie bought for her and redid her hair.

The saying “clothes make the man” was absolutely true.

Once Christina Armstrong put on the down jacket bought by Wennie, she visibly transformed into a different person, instantly more elegant.

Sabrina Sabir carefully scrutinized Christina Armstrong, satisfaction apparent in her eyes.

Not bad at all!

Although Christina Armstrong wasn’t very accomplished, at least she was fairly good-looking.

“Let’s go.”

As they stepped out the door, Sabrina Sabir seemed to remember something and looked at Christina Armstrong, “Wait here for a moment; I need to say something to your dad.”

“Okay,” Christina Armstrong nodded.

Sabrina Sabir went inside and spoke a few words to Edward Armstrong.

Learning that his wife and daughter were going out to eat spaghetti, he didn’t stop them.

In the past, he couldn’t even bear to eat a bowl of spaghetti that cost ten dollars.

But what was the outcome?

He spent 800 thousand dollars and hadn’t even seen a single noodle.

Sabrina Sabir came outside and said to Christina Armstrong, “Let’s go.”

Christina Armstrong followed her mother’s footsteps.

Eight minutes later.

They arrived at the spaghetti restaurant.

Sabrina Sabir ordered two bowls of spaghetti.

The Boss of the restaurant was very quick; soon, he served up two bowls of spaghetti.

Christina Armstrong added three spoonfuls of chili oil to her bowl.

Seeing this, Sabrina Sabir frowned and said, “Can you handle that much spice?”

“Yep.” Christina Armstrong nodded, her downcast eyes revealing no particular emotion.

Laughable, wasn’t it?

Her mother didn’t even know what she liked to eat.

But that was normal.

After all, in her mother’s world, there was only her precious son, George Armstrong.

Sabrina Sabir continued, “Eating too much chili isn’t good for you; you might get pimples.”

If she started getting pimples, it would definitely affect her appearance.

Now was Christina Armstrong’s prime.

Since it was her prime, she surely couldn’t do anything that would affect her appearance.
