Rita took out the key and went into the house. She had already told her parents that she would come back to visit them with Glenn, but her parents only thought that Glenn was one of Rita's good friends and welcomed him as the name of a normal guest. Before that, her parents only met Glenn at the time when Rita was still in the hospital. And it was Glenn who took good care of her. So her parents were also grateful to him.
However, when Rita and Glenn walked inside the house hand in hand, her parents were a little surprised, but they quickly returned to normal.
"Rita, you are back. Come on in. Dinner will be ready soon." Mrs. Scott pretended not to see them hand in hand. She greeted them and then went into the kitchen to prepare for dinner.
Seeing her mother's reaction, Rita got anxious. When she was about to confess to her mother, she was stopped by Glenn.
"Rita, don't worry. Give them some time to accept it."
Rita looked at Glenn. She knew he was very nervous as well, but he had to take care of her emotions. Rita knew herself was too impatient, so she nodded.
"Okay."
The atmosphere during the meal was a little weird. Rita and Glenn just made eye contact.
"Rita, do you know that Neil is going to Germany for business trip?" Mrs. Scott suddenly said something inexplicable, making Rita very embarrassed. She looked at Glenn, and felt relieved after she confirmed that he was not so nervous because of the word.
"Is Neil on a business trip recently? I don't know. "
In order not to bother Rita and Glenn, Neil hadn't told her about his business trip, but Neil had come to visit Rita's parents often, so both of them knew about the business trip. He also told Rita's parents that not to tell her about that. He didn't want to create any misunderstandings between Rita and Glenn because of him.
But Mrs. Scott didn't care about it at all when she saw her daughter was talking to Glenn affectionately. Thinking of how nice Neil was to Rita, Mrs. Scott felt a little sorry for him.
"Of course you don't know..." Mrs. Scott was so agitated that her voice turned louder. Scott held her hand and gestured for her to stop. But Mrs. Scott pushed his hand away and said, "don't get in my way. Since you have been together with Glenn, of course you won't have any spare time to even think about Neil. He didn't want to disturb your life, of course he didn't tell you. Though Neil refused to tell me. Now just tell me what happened between you and him. "
It was a rare case for Mrs. Scott to lose her temper like this, and she had never talked to Rita in this way. This made Rita feel a little scared.
"Mom, I have broken up with Neil. And I have accepted Glenn's proposal."
Upon hearing that, Mrs. Scott flew into a rage. She pounded the table and shouted, "what? I don't agree, absolutely not. "
"Mom..."
"Don't say anything more. I won't agree on this. Rita, you have been engaged with Neil seven years ago. Now you are going to get married to another guy named Glenn. If Neil's rival knows it, it will bring more harm to him. Have you ever thought about it? He is going to take over his father's company. There can't be anything wrong. What if he was distracted because of your relationship, who should bear the responsibility? "
Scott didn't stop her and signed. He had watched the growth of Neil and Rita. Both he and Rita's mother knew how much he loved Rita. Now Rita suddenly told them that she had broken up with Neil, and both of them could not accept the fact.
"Rita, don't be so ungrateful. You know clearly how much Neil has done for you. If you do so, how will I and your father face his parents?"
