?Chapter 1159:


    n was stunned. He never expected Freya to be this forward. She used to be the one who hated talking to strangers.


    “If you ever need anything, don’t hesitate to reach out,” Freya added. Sherry smiled like a fairytale princess. “You got it.”


    The two exchanged contact info.


    n lingered awkwardly to the side, feeling like a forgotten prop. After a moment of introspection, he cleared his throat and offered, “How about I add you too?”


    Freya raised one brow, unimpressed.


    Sherry wasn’t sure what he was ying at.


    Both women turned to face him at the same time.


    n pressed his lips together, clearly uneasy. “I only lied earlier because I really hate blind dates. But… I think we could still be friends.”


    Sherry’s grip on her phone tightened. Her feelings were a tangled mess.


    She wasn’t sure how to respond.


    “I actually know a few couples who met on blind dates, got engaged within days, and tied the knot in a month,” n said earnestly. “That’s why I panicked and lied to you earlier.”


    “What about you?” Sherry asked.


    “What do you mean?”


    “What’s your take on marriage?”


    “Fate,patibility, and mutual affection,” n answered without missing a beat. “All three have to be there.”


    If two people were in love but didn’t get along at the core, things would fall apart sooner orter.


    As forpatibility, that was something only the people involved could determine.


    “Show me your QR code then.” Sherry finally decided to give it a shot.


    Sherry understood why n had acted the way he had—and why he bristled at the idea of blind dates.

    If people kept shoving her into forced setups, she’d probably react the same way—shutting people down, good or bad, without even giving them a fair shot.


    n blinked, caught off guard. “Huh?”


    “Your WhatsApp QR code,” Sherry said coolly, her tone even.


    n caught on right away, unlocked his phone, and handed it over.


    The two added each other as friends.


    Sherry added, “If, after some time, you feel we’re not really a good fit, just shoot me a message and delete me. No hard feelings, truly.”


    “Alright…” n paused, then gave a small nod.


    Letting people go wasn’t exactly his strong suit, but still, he went along with it.


    “Weren’t you headed out for some shopping?” Trying to smooth things over after fibbing earlier, n offered with a touch of guilt, “Let me give you a ride.”


    “No need,” Sherry declined with effortless poise. “But if you’re free tomorrow, I’d love for you to join me for a musical. Only if it works for you, of course.”
