I was silent for a moment, then replied, [It’s okay, I understand.]
The next day at noon, I had just finished work and was getting ready to eat.
I saw the message Juan sent five minutes ago.
[I'll wait for you at the usual place. Be ready in ten minutes. I have something to ask you.]
After seeing the message he sent me, I did not want to go at first, but thinking about what I said to my mother last night, I went anyway.
It was a fast food restaurant not far from his company.
As soon as I sat down, I heard him ask, “Is a relative of yours getting married?”
I paused for two seconds while putting down my bag, then quickly responded, “Well, my cousin is getting married, why are you asking this?”
Hearing that, his serious expression relaxed and he sneered, “Aunt Clarice asked me to help arrange the wedding banquet, but she didn't tell me who the protagonist of the wedding banquet was. And it seems that you are the only eligible person in your family. I thought you were going to get married.”
Speaking of that, he himself found it a little funny.
Yes, people my age in my family were already married and some even had two children.
But in their eyes, I was still a loner.
