"It's okay. Take your time. I can only pick you up after I go home."
"I know. Be careful." Rita said unhappily and buried herself in the quilt.
"Don't be so sad. I won't get lost."
"Ok."
After hanging up the phone, Rita thumped the pillow, annoyed. She had planned to pick him up early and give him a surprise, but she overslept.
Last night, Rita had thought a lot about the beautiful experiences she had with Neil and what she had experienced with Glenn. She admitted that Glenn was different in her heart, but her feelings for Glenn were not as deep as that for Neil. She may only have a temporary interest in Glenn.
'Neil and I are getting married. I don't want to be disturbed by these things, ' she told herself.
After lying on the bed for a while, she jumped up, washed herself and changed clothes.
After texting her address to Neil, she sat on the sofa, waiting for him.
When she saw the caller ID on her phone, Rita curled her lips. It must be because her mother knew about the matter that Neil was back. She usually didn't care about her.
"Hello."
"Rita, are you up yet?" As soon as she answered the phone, she heard her mother's loud voice. Rita unconsciously took the phone a little further.
"Yes, keep your voice down! I'm almost deaf!" Rita complained.
"Well, I'm in good health."
"Yes, yes. You'll be fine as long as you're in good health."
"I almost forget the business. Didn't Neil come back today? Let him come to have dinner tonight, I haven't seen him for a long time. He must be tall and handsome now. " Hearing her mother's words, Rita could not help but pull a long face.
"How did you know that Neil come back today?" 'I haven't told Mom about it. How did she know?'
"It's Neil who told me this. He calls me every week, unlike you. You always say that you're busy, don't you even have time to call me?"
"Who told me not to bother her every day? And now she's blaming all the things on me?"
"I..."
"Okay, I'm done talking with you. Let me ask him first. It's uncertain. He might go back to his home. "
"That's good. You should pay more attention to your future mother-in-law, so that you can get along well with her in the future."
"Un, mom, what are you talking about? It's still too early to talk about it."
"It's not too early. You were engaged a few years ago. When Neil called me, he also said that he was going to marry you. You can get married as soon as possible so that I can also make my wish come true. "
Rita's mother had been worried about Rita. Neil had been abroad for many years and he had seen a lot of things, but her daughter still acted like a child. She had been worried that Neil would fall in love with other women. Nowadays, a lot of men were divorced after they got married, let alone the fact that they were just engaged.
