Tom Fritz didn't feel embarrassed at all. He clenched his fist and tapped his nose lightly.
Even Mrs. Fritz couldn't understand her son's feelings at this moment. She guessed that a large flock of crows must have flown through his heart. Could this situation be any more clichéd? Belinda's chest heaved violently as she glared at her daughter! Monica timidly clung to Tristan's arm, half-hiding behind him. Her position was clear, so she didn't say anything inappropriate anymore.

As he spoke, he looked at Tristan's face, smiling, and said, "I just didn't expect it to be Tristan. I've known Tristan for many years, so it's perfect. Let's go inside for stea?" What? They knew each other? Monica looked at Tristan in astonishment. Judging from his expression, Tom Fritz was not lying.
Oh my! They actually knew each other?! Seeing her son's open-mindedness, Mrs. Fritz felt relieved.
But Belinda was still embarrassed. Mrs. Fritz patted her shoulder to comfort her, saying, "You have to accept reality. A forced melon is not sweet." In a short while, everyone took steps toward the interior.

Yesterday, when he talked to Tristan about relationships, Tristan said he was single. How che found a girlfriend overnight? But he could see that the girl liked Tristan. So, he decided to play the role of a matchmaker and help them.
"I always knew you had a girlfriend," Tom Fritz said softly as they walked toward the living room, looking at Tristan. "I just didn't expect it to be Monica. Her mother and my mother are good friends." He deliberately said this for the two elders to hear.
What kind of talk was this? He always knew? Tristan met the man's gaze and naturally understood his meaning. Tom Fritz actually wanted to help Monica? Seeing that today's protagonist didn't care, Belinda couldn't say much. There was no use in her insisting on her own opinion.
Everyone around was smiling, and the atmosphere was warm, as if nothing had happened.
Especially Tom Fritz and Tristan, both gentlemen with good manners, their conversation pleasant.
"Let's all stay for lunch. Since we're family, let's take the opportunity to get together." It must be said that Tom Fritz was very good at resolving awkward situations. His words left Monica feeling confused. Were they really that close? "Mother, you should talk with your friends. It's been a long tsince you've seen each other. Catch up and don't worry about us young people." Entering the living room, Tom Fritz led Tristan and Monica to the backyard.
Mrs. Fritz pulled Belinda to sit down on the sofa. "How did you raise your daughter? How could there be such a big misunderstanding? Your daughter has a boyfriend, and you still dragged her to a blind date?" This wasn't a blame, just curiosity. Because their relationship was good, she asked.
