Lumma didn’t answer, but Judy insisted on hearing her views on love. “Lumma, why aren’t you saying anything? It’s just the three of us today, so go ahead and share your thoughts on love.”
“Everyone has their own perspective on love, and my view represents only my personal opinion, which may not hold much weight,” Lumma glanced instinctively at Adam who was next to her, who didn’t even look at her, showing no interest in her opinion.
“We really want to hear your thoughts, especially my brother,” Judy tugged at Adam’s sleeve. “Brother, stop focusing on eating and say something.”
Adam looked up. Although he cared about Lumma’s opinion, he pretended to be indifferent. “Well, since we are all married individuals, it’s okay to occasionally exchange ideas on managing marriage to make our marital lives happier.”
Now that Adam had spoken, Lumma suddenly felt as if they weren’t at the dinner table on Christmas Eve but in a conference room where she was asked to speak. She couldn’t remain silent. “If you want to hear, then I’ll speak up.
But let’s make it clear that if my views differ from yours, don’t get mad at me.”
Adam couldn’t possibly get mad at her. “No, we won’t.”
Judy liked Lumma far more than Lumma had imagined, and she wouldn’t get mad at Lumma just because of different opinions. “Lumma, go ahead and speak.”
Lumma said, “Actually, personally, I don’t really believe in love.”
