Chapter 394
Avril saw Bonnie doing exceptionally well in her expertise. She also noticed the old, prominent professors‘ respect toward the latter. That was when she truly understood just how incredible her best friend was!
Flynn shared her sentiment. He could feel more of what she was feeling now because he tried to kidnap Bonnie once. The moment when the tanks and helicopters showed up was so traumatic that it was
seared into his memories.
“I’m going to buy dinner later, Bonnie. Go ahead and eat anything you want!”
Bonnie turned around and looked at Avril. “Should we take his offer?”
“Of course! We have to go. We’d be fools if we didn’t eat a free meal.”
Flynn’s parents, Gunnar and Sydney, were chatting with a company CEO in a coffee shop adjacent to the
Bonita Research Institute.
“Is your son coming back to Arvandor, Dominick?” She asked.
“That’s right. This son of mine has been wasting his time for a while now. It’s about time he comes back and takes over my company.
“Does he have a girlfriend?”
It didn’t take a genius to know what she was getting at.
“Are you going to recommend someone to him?”
“I like that you go straight to business, Dominick. I have a niece who’s just twenty–one years old, and she came from a prestigious family, too. She’s well–versed in music, chess, painting, and more.
“Needless to say, your family, the Shermans, is reputable as well. I think it’s a good match. How about we set up an old–fashioned blind date for the young fellows?”
Dominick rubbed the side of his head, feeling a slight headache.
“I don’t think I can make that kind of call. He doesn’t like artistic ladies. He’s looking for someone good at cooking, intelligent, and pretty. Moreover, he loves it when a lady knows her way around a fight and commands an imposing air.”
“Gee…” Sydney parted her lips a little. “I–I’m not sure if you can find such a perfect, all–rounded lady. Dominick. Are you sure such a person exists in the world?”
“Don’t get me started! I don’t even know where to begin! My son’s already twenty–five years old and has been single for as long as he has lived. He practically gave me a head full of grey hair. Frankly, he went overseas searching for one such lady.”
His headache grew worse the more he spoke about it.
Suddenly, he saw a young lady from across the road, and his eyes sparkled. “What a beautiful lady! She’s like an angel from heaven. I wonder how’s her cooking?”

Gunnar and Sydney got curious and looked at the lady he was staring at.
At first glance, they discovered that the lady’s beauty was beyond this world. Then, they realized
something.
Isn’t that Bonnie? Also, why’s Flynn walking behind her?”
Dominick scanned her from head to toe, his eyes full of adoration. “She’s standing quite far away, but I can sense she’s quite a tough lady!
“It’s a shame, though. She looked so frail and defenseless that a strong wind could’ve blown her away. I don’t think my son would’ve liked her, after all.”
Someone charged at Flynn and snatched his phone before bolting. Bonnie saw it and took off after him at a frightening speed. She quickly caught up to the thief and pinned him to the ground.
“Splendid! She’s both beautiful and powerful! She’s the one. I’ve found my future daughter–in–law!” Dominick said and made to go after Bonnie.
“Hold your horses, Dominick.” Sydney looked a little uneasy. She tried to keep it together, but it was hard for her.
“I have to hurry on over. Otherwise, I’m going to miss out on such a fine daughter–in–law. My ancestors had only ever had one son. I finally managed to have a couple of them, but my youngest son was stolen from me when he was just born.
“Sigh. Let’s drop this sad topic. My eldest son is the only one who could carry on the Sherman family’s lineage. The universe has finally shown us mercy and given me such a perfect daughter–in–law. I will miss this golden opportunity if I don’t grasp it right now.”
