My Only Love: The Targeted Heiress - Chapter 8

The mother and her duo kids continued reviewing each photo that had a wife-material to become Vincent’s life partner.

“This one?”

“Her eyes are too sharp. I don’t want to stay with a dictator.”

“This?”

“She has too many sisters.”

“What is the problem…”

“Mom, you don’t want me to be compared to my sister-in-law’s husband, do you?”

What made Vanessa laugh was how her brother asked their mother in as innocent as possible, and the question causing their mother couldn’t refute.

Because of that, they just continued the next and the next photo. Miraculously, Vincent always managed to find a flaw in each prospective wife-to-be to reject all the images they submit.

Either the body was too thin, or the body’s built could get fat quickly, or something like that. Vincent always managed to find loopholes in each of the women in the photo.

“This is the last one. This young lady is the daughter of your father’s business partner. She was the only child and had a perfect built. She was not too thin nor too fat. She is the ideal wife of all men according to the voting of celebrity magazines. How is it? Isn’t she’s perfect?”

“No. If she’s an only child, doesn’t that mean she’s very spoiled? No, no, I don’t want to live together with…”

Vincent had not finished talking when his mother got up in an irritated manner.

“Don’t talk to me again until you bring a girl into this house. Hmph!” Then she left her hardheaded, thousand reasons expert son and walked to her room.

Vincent was too dumbfounded when he heard the threat to the point he couldn’t move a muscle. He even did not realize his mother left him without looking at him twice.

Ah? What? Did she say I need to bring a girl here? Which girl? Could I get a female kitten instead? Everyone loved the kitten.

[author: What!? You can’t marry a kitten!]

“Sister, is our mom perhaps going through puberty again? Ouch!” once again, Vincent got a light blow to the shoulder.

Even though he didn’t feel any pain, Vincent still reacted like he was in pain when he was hit. It has become a habit since his childhood.

“What do I do now? Why did you hit me again?”

“Really. Mom was trying to collect all these photos for your sake, but you are always looking for their faults. You don’t know what’s in mom’s heart. That’s why you don’t know why she wants to see you get married right away.”

“What’s wrong? Is she sick?” suddenly, Vincent’s eyes flashed with anxiety and worry for his mother.

“No. She is fine. Only she was concerned about you.”

“Me? Why?”

“Lately, a lot of rumors have been circulating about you. Some say you don’t like women.”

“Ah? So you guys think I’m gay?”

“We didn’t. But they did. These days, many lads your age have been in relationships at least once or twice, whereas you… Hhhh…” Vanessa sighed in exasperation. “You’ve never been in a relationship even once although you already reach thirty. Of course, they would think you like the same gender.”

“I don’t care. What’s important is that my family knows I’m not like that.”

Vanessa sighs, “But what mom said has a point. She is not young anymore. Even though I have given her a grandchild, mom will definitely want to see your kid. While she is still healthy, you should find your potential partner. How about you choose one of these photos?”

“….”

“You already know them, after all.”

“I know them because my mom brought me together. Besides, even though I don’t know them, I can’t possibly like people right away through photos, can I?”

Vincent thoughtfully remembered his mother’s last threat.

“Do you think she really won’t talk to me?”

Vanessa smiles. “No way. You know she loved you a lot. Her heart will soften later at night. Well, you can bring your ‘ultimate weapon’ to soothe her raging heart.”

Vincent grinned from ear to ear, hearing her advice, and would bring out his utmost ‘ultimate weapon.’

“Where are you going?” asked Vanessa as Vincent walked towards the exit door.

“A walk in the park.”

He means that a walk in the park is taking some other pictures with his analog camera.

Every ten rare, Vincent will stop to take photos. From a pair of birds perched in a tree to an old husband and wife walking hand in hand.

Vincent looked at the old couple with a heartwarming smile. His favorite scene was seeing a warm family, especially a married couple who still love each other until they are aging.

Vincent himself grew up in a harmonious and loving family. His father and mother loved their two children equally. But because he was a man, his father will demand more from him regarding work.

Of course, his father wanted him to inherit the family business, but he wanted to live freely for now. He still wanted to pursue his hobbies. Regarding his family business… he will think about it when the time comes.

After an hour of walking, Vincent arrived at a park. Vincent smiled excitedly.

Since it’s a Sunday, there must be lots of people and families coming for the picnic.

He immediately raised his camera and carefully took a lovely scene.

A teenager was playing with his pet dog near the tree. There was also a small child playing on the swing with his parents.

Vincent did not miss the slightest detail from what he saw. He selected the best lighting point to take a perfect photograph for him.

Then he heard the voices of several girls laughing. He turned towards the laughter sound.

Not far away, he saw four girls were sitting on the grass, which covered with broad stripes of pink cloth.
