"So tell me, when Tristan asked you out the first time, did he make you feel like you couldn't say no?" Leena asked, half smiling as if knowing the answer.
"Actually! That is true. How did you know?" Ava asked, surprised.
"These friends, they are the same. Reylond never gave me an option to say no either," Leena smiled, remembering.
Like Tristan, Reylond never dated anyone in his life. His main focus was to prove that he was capable of inheriting the family business. Three years after he had successfully established the business, his parents started nagging him to get married and have kids. They didn't believe in an arranged marriage, so they told him to go ahead and marry whoever he wanted.
He didn't really have anybody in mind, so they asked them to set him up for blind dates. They found a few available women, but they were not really what he was looking for.
