Chapter 1575 Ignorant Woman
I’ve only asked him to bring me home to meet his parents. Why is he pulling a long face? What does he mean by that? He said he wants to marry me, but he doesn’t want me to meet his parents? Whatever! As if I care about meeting his parents. I don’t even care if we’re not getting married now.
Sonia felt waves of indignance wash over her the more she thought about it as beads of tears rolled down her face.
Noticing that her voice was off, Harvey realized that she must have misunderstood his hesitance for displeasure.
He bent down and made Sonia face him, disregarding her struggles to free herself. At the sight of her tear-stricken face, he felt his heart wrench. D*mn it, I promised to make her happy, but I’ve made her cry instead.
He wiped away her tears using his thumb and said in a low voice, ‘‘It’s not that I’m not willing to let you meet my parents. It’s just that they’ve lost their lives in the line of duty.’‘
His parents were both in the army, and they had given their lives during a mission.
Sonia was stumped. Died in the line of duty?
She eyed Harvey with tears still brimming in her eyes. Only then did she notice the sorrow on his face. She felt a pang of guilt right then. I shouldn’t have mentioned meeting his parents. He wouldn’t be this upset then.
‘‘I’m sorry. I didn’t know…’‘ Sonia held Harvey’s hand and said apologetically.
Harvey took her hand in his and tried not to think about how much he missed his parents. ‘‘Why are you saying sorry? You have no idea about this. Besides, it’s only normal for you to want to meet them. After all, they’re going to be your parents-in-law. Even though you won’t be able to meet them, you will be able to meet my grandpa and my younger brother.’‘
Nevertheless, Sonia looked at Harvey apprehensively and asked, ‘‘What are your grandpa and brother like? Will it be easy to get along with them? Will they like me?’‘
‘‘Don’t worry. They’ll support my choice.’‘
Meanwhile in Lightspring, in an upscale mansion that could rival a palace, a beautiful woman stood behind a man who had his back against her and reported respectfully, ‘‘Sir, I’ve found out where he is.’‘
