My dad's consideration was practical. He only had me, his daughter. He's always strict with me. He didn't want me to do anything bad outside, and he didn't want me to be like other girls who were only into money. He just wanted me to find a reliable one.
So when my father saw Vincent's car, he was skeptical about my future. After all, my family was not rich. If Vincent didn't take me seriously, then...
"Well, my parents like me to find a reliable, normal husband, and most importantly, one who will spend the rest of my life with me!" I answered him honestly.
Vincent nodded thoughtfully and suddenly smiled weirdly. "It seems that your family-style is quite strict. If I tell your parents about us, what will they react?"
My heart missed a beat, and my face immediately became very ugly. "You dare, I warn you, if you dare to tell my parents about our relationship, I will not let you go!"
"You won't let me off? Or I won't let you off?" The corners of Vincent's lips curled into a smug smile. It was as if he had caught hold of something on me. Even his eyes filled with a desire to control me.
When we were at loggerheads, my mother poked her head out from the kitchen and said to me. "Jasmine, time to eat!"
In front of my parents, I couldn’t lose my temper. Although Vincent's attitude was really arrogant, I still had to endure, because once I anger him, I would be in trouble!
During dinner, my father and Vincent chatted with each other politely. During the conversation, my mother probably couldn't stand it anymore. So she tentatively asked Vincent. "How long have you been with my daughter Jasmine?"
Vincent turned to look at me, smiled, and said. "About a few months!"
In fact, I had knew Vincent early for years, but I didn't have much contact with him. It was just less than 20 days since we had sex. How could Vincent talk about it so long!
My mother nodded thoughtfully and then asked. "Are you ready to get married?"
I thought Vincent would consider it, but he said to my mother without hesitation. "Of course, now I just need Jasmine to give me a clear attitude, and then I can start to hold a wedding!"
Hearing this, my mom and dad looked at each other. My mom still came forward and said. "Vincent, I think you're well-off. I don't think your marriage is as childish as you said. You need to think it over!"
Knowing what her mother meant, Vincent put down his chopsticks and said to her firmly."Don't worry, Auntie. My family listens to me. My father said that as long as I like it, he won't interfere my choice!"
My father seemed to have understood the gist of Vincent's words, so he asked. "Your father? Then what about your mother?"
Upon hearing this, Vincent's eyes suddenly flashed a trace of sadness, which made me feel a little surprised. Because in my impression, he had always been the kind of person who was arrogant and had few emotions in his eyes. But today, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes?
Was his mother dead?
