"Sir Henry is not in good health."

Mia looked around, lowered her voice and whispered in Tessa's ear, "I heard it's a very serious illness. It could be fatal. I heard it's AIDS."

Tessa, who had just begun to look a little happy, fell to her seat at once upon hearing this - this disease is not only fatal, but also does not allow sexual life!

At the matchmaking event, the eight-minute date was timed again.

Bailey was a bit confused about what Henry was up to, whether he was trying to break the feudal superstition by himself or showing off his courage in front of others despite knowing there was a tiger in the mountain.

"You're overthinking it. I'm here for a blind date." Henry laughed lightly and naturally. Fortunately, he listened to Alvin's strong persuasion today and came to the matchmaking event, otherwise they would have missed each other.

"didn't you hear that?" Bailey doesn't want to think bad about people, but what's happening here today makes her have to be on guard. Henry has an enigma.

"I know, as the name suggests, refers to a woman who will do harm to her husband." Are you telling me this right now to show that you are optimistic about our relationship and that I will be your husband in the future, or that you care about me and fear that your destiny will be against me?"

Henry's words left Bailey speechless, and no matter what she said, she would fall into a trap set by Henry. Bailey's cheeks flushed and she remained silent.

"What's there to be embarrassed about? Since I can sit here, I dare to admit that I like you and I have a good impression of you." Henry has the boldness of a soldier, and he takes responsibility.

Bailey felt even more embarrassed. She was usually sharp-tongued and eloquent, but today in the face of Henry, her mind went blank and she didn't know how to deal with it.

"You can say whatever you want now, if, I mean if, what if?" Bailey didn't believe there was such a person in the world who would risk his life for her.

"Anyway, you know my health condition. In that case, let's try a relationship. Even if I die, there's nothing to complain about. My wish will be fulfilled, and your story will continue to be passed down."

Henry's words made Bailey laugh.

Such a smile, pure and beautiful, natural and flawless, was the most overwhelming for Henry, and he felt his heartstrings being struck again.

Henry was a little absent-minded, and the rhythm of his speech was disrupted.

"Eight minutes are up." With a prompt from the host, the male guests at the matchmaking event began to change seats.

It was only then that Bailey realized she had chatted with Henry for the first time without realizing it.

"Sir, please come this way." The host ran up to Henry, gesturing for him to switch to another guest. Because Henry's appearance just now, with his good looks and charming demeanor, has led many female guests to ask the host to arrange for them to sit with Henry in the next eight minutes.

As a result, there was a long queue of female guests waiting for Henry on the other side, and he continued to chat with Bailey on the other side. This unfair practice made many female guests start to complain, forcing the host to come over and interrupt Bailey and Henry's conversation.

"I'm leaving now." Seeing Henry pulled away by the host, Bailey knew that no one would dare to come on a blind date with her again. Instead of sitting here awkwardly, it was better to call it a day.

Out of the door of the matchmaking venue, I saw that the sky was already overcast with dark clouds and the wind was filled with scattered raindrops.

Bailey was troubled that she had gone out without an umbrella. Her mother was already weak, and if she caught a cold in the rain, it would only make things worse.

A black extended Cadillac quietly came into view. With a roll of the window, Alvin's smiling face was revealed: "Miss Bailey, please get in the car."

Four luxurious leather seats formed a lounge area, with a bouquet of flowers on the bar and a highball glass filled with red wine. Henry, dressed in military uniform, was so elegant that he looked like a nobleman against the luxurious backdrop of the Cadillac sedan.

Although Tessa was a little reluctant, Mia and Bailey helped her into the car.

"You're out so soon?" Bailey asked curiously, "There could have been a long queue of girls waiting to be in love with you for eight minutes just now, but you was here at the moment.

"You're out, and I don't need to stay there either." Henry brought a glass of red wine to Bailey and motioned for her to drink it.

Just as Bailey was about to bring the wine glass to her lips, Tessa said with a black face, "What kind of manners does a girl have when drinking?"

Bailey glanced at his mother and then at the red wine in the glass, feeling very troubled.

"I overlooked this." Henry smiled apologetically at Tessa, reached out his hand and took Bailey's cup back.

The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became awkward. Mia's husband was a political staff under Henry, and that's why Bailey was able to attend this matchmaking event, and it was Mia's doing.

So Mia could only force a smile and find topics to talk about in a desultory way.

"Sir Henry," Tessa, who had been silent for a long time, spoke, "my Bailey is not suitable for you. You find another girl. We don't dare to get close to you."

Although Tessa was very anxious about her daughter's marriage, she was not so anxious as to say that it would be a vegetable in the basket. Even if Henry is perfect, he is not in good health and has a short life. What's the use of his daughter marrying him? The daughter is already burdened with the reputation of being a husband. It would be great if she were with Henry to make that title even more solid. Stay as far away from Henry as possible, so that he doesn't have to retort that he was killed by Bailey for any wrongdoing.

"Madam , you're just overthinking it." Henry seemed to have been prepared for it. Instead of being angry, he explained gently and calmly, "Isn't it like a joke to decide a marriage in eight minutes? So, this matchmaking event is just an opportunity for men and women to meet. It doesn't represent a definite outcome, and your daughter didn't promise me anything."

Henry's words relieved Tessa a lot, and her face softened but she remained silent.

The car made its way through the fine rain and soon reached downstairs of House of Mitchell.

Mia helped Tessa upstairs, where only Henry and Bailey were left.

My mom has a straightforward temper. If she offended you with her words, please forgive her. While Tessa was not around, Bailey apologized to Henry.

"It's nothing. I know exactly what I should do." Henry stood in front of Bailey, much taller than her.

"What are you going to do?" Bailey looked at him in puzzlement.

Henry, without saying a word, pulled Bailey into his arms and held her slender and soft body in his arms, his starry eyes seductive and seductive: "The question of how to do it is very complicated and cannot be explained in words. I prefer to be straightforward and teach in person."
