Mia tried to suppress her pining for Pete.
Soon, she arrived back home. She entered her study unhappily, opened up her practice papers, and began to go through them.
Even if they were not meant to be, she still wanted to chase after him and experience what he had experienced.
Mia began to study seriously.
To others, having a crush might be painful and might get one down. However, to Mia, this was her only motivation in life.
After studying for a long while, Mia gradually started to nod off.
Soon, she fell asleep at her desk.
However, it was at this moment that her cell phone suddenly beeped. On the display, the notification showed that she had received a text message. The sender was Pete.
At the Hunts'.
As it gradually got late, people who were supposed to leave left, and people who were supposed to rest went to rest for the night.
Nora sat in the living room and looked at Queenie.
Her aunt had also stayed single the last few years, but she remembered that she had once told her that she had a crush on someone.
Nora, who thought that she had been talking about Ian, said to Queenie, "Since you've returned to the States, why not continue staying here, Aunt Queenie?"
She didn't mind Ian and Queenie becoming a couple if it meant that it would lessen the pain for both of them.
However, Queenie raised her brows and replied, "Nah."
"Why?"
Nora walked up to her. For the first time ever, the lazy woman took the initiative to be a matchmaker. She said, "Dad has been alone all these years too. If you want, I can help you woo him."
Queenie was taken aback. "Why would I woo your dad?"
Nora asked hesitantly, "Aren't you in love with him?"
Queenie:"?"
She stared at Nora in a daze. It was only after a short while that she finally recovered. "When did I ever say that I'm in love with him?" She exclaimed.
"... You told me last time that you have had a crush on someone for many, many years."
Queenie burst into laughter. "Even so, that person is not your dad!"
"Then who is it?"
Nora asked curiously.
Queenie's cheeks suddenly turned red. After a while, she finally sighed and replied, "My feelings are considered taboo in this society, so I've never told anyone about it before. Besides, the person I'm in love with is already dead."
