Chuck smiled at his daughter and was just about to close the door.
But Angela was anxious, and she immediately wedged herself in the door to stop it from closing. "Mother, do you even know who your son is chasing?" she asked.
Chuck was worried that Angela would be hurt, and so he opened the door again, and said, "Be careful! Don't get hurt."
"Father, do you know? My brother is chasing after Nicole!" said Angela.
Daisy, who was rubbing her face, calmly said, "Nicole... What Nicole?" Immediately after she asked she moved a couple of inches away from Angela.
Angela was shocked and replied, "Mother, it's Nicole, mother* Lola's daughter!"
This time, Daisy realized the seriousness of the matter, and Chuck also looked pretty pensive. Daisy then quickly took off the mask she was applying on her face and immediately picked up her phone to call her son.
"What on Earth is he doing now? Can't he just hang out with Nicole?" said Chuck. He wondered since when his son had become so unreliable.
Daisy soon got through with Sven on the phone, but at that moment Sven was climbing the stairs along with Nicole.
When he saw that his mother was calling him, Sven knew that it was Angela who had ratted him out! "Mother, I'm going to bed now, I'm really sleepy. If there's anything, let's talk about it tomorrow!" said Sven.
"You're going to bed? With who?" Daisy was a little nervous when she asked her son this question.
Sven glanced at Nicole, who was already in his apartment now, and replied, "That's my own business, so please don't be so indiscreet."
"Sven Si! Why are you so capricious? You can't hook up with Nicole! She's not the sort of playful girl that you usually date, and you can't flirt with her and can't be so willing to be with her!" said Daisy. She didn't want her son to screw up things.
Sven massaged the painful spot between his eyebrows, and said, "Why am I capricious? I know what I'm doing, and please don't interfere in my affairs, OK?"
Daisy kept her silence for a while, and then gently asked, "Sven, are you really serious?"
"Um, " replied Sven. He then stood up and went to get Nicole a glass of water.
Daisy thought for a whole, and said, "Sven, Nicole is about six years older than you are... Oh no, it's actually seven years. I can't accept this. You're younger than her and you're not right for each other."
She also thought that they had little in common and wouldn't have anything in common.
After Sven filled the glass with water, he put it in front of Nicole. Nicole smiled at him, and heard him say, "Age isn't important here, and what really counts is that Nicole is a woman and I'm a man! That's enough!"
He thought that no matter how old a woman was, she still needed to be cared for and protected by a man.
Nicole raised the glass of water to her lips. But she didn't drink the water at all. She was wondering what Sven had meant with that...
"Are you with Nicole now?" asked Daisy. She was confused, and thought that perhaps maybe Nicole wasn't in Sven's apartment, because Sven was a clean freak just like Chuck was, and never took his girlfriends to his apartment...
"Mother, I'm not a child anymore. You just take care of Angela and don't worry about me. I have to hang up now! Bye!" said Sven.
He sat opposite to Nicole and then they began to look at each other.
"Sven Si, I warn you! Behave yourself! Otherwise, I won't let you off so easily!" Daisy kept on warning and threatening Sven, but Sven had already hung up the phone on her.
When Daisy called him again, she found that his phone had been also powered off.
"Sven, what did you mean just now?" asked Nicole. She probably understood what he meant, but she still wanted to ask Sven to confirm it for her.
Sven reclined on the sofa and looked at her, smiling. "Nicole, be my girlfriend!" he said.
...
There were a lot of men who had chased her.
And there were also countless men who had expressed their love for her, but she had just ignored them.
