Mrs. Marsh's Revealed Identities novel (Jennifer and Ivan) novel Chapter 1282

Chapter 1282 Can't Escape the Fate of Blind Dating?

"Who says I can't let it go?" Belinda scoffed again. "Would I ever be unable to let go of him? How could that be possible?"
"Don't... Don't hide it," Monica smiled and spoke gently, "After all, he was once a man you loved and chose, the one you shared a bed with..."
"Monica!!"
"Alright, alright... I was wrong." The girl instantly backed down.
The mother and daughter looked at each other, an atmosphere of tension brewing between them.
It took a full thirty seconds before Belinda managed to calm herself, sighing.
The girl also looked away, picking up her fork again. "I just think that only a calm and peaceful attitude can prove that you've let go. The more you act like this, the more it looks like you still love him. Maybe he's jumping in joy right now, you know how possessive men can be."
These words quietly poked at Belinda's heart, stirring a mix of emotions.
Yeah, why should she be angry?
They had been divorced for so many years!
"Eat now," Belinda said, trying to hide her inner turmoil. "The reason I'm angry is that I know your father's intentions, and it's not because I still have lingering feelings for him! I'm just angry about him trying to take you away."
Monica prepared herself to listen to her mother's nagging and didn't plan to argue.
"I won't let your father interfere with your marriage or introduce you to any boyfriends! No matter how good those boys could be, it's not acceptable!"
"Why?" the girl asked curiously. "What if... the guy is really my true love? You still wouldn't allow it?"
"Right! I won't allow it!"
Belinda continued eating her pasta, grumbling, "After all these years of not caring, now he wants to take a ready-made daughter back home? Didn't he remarry? If he's so capable, let him have his own child!"
"..." Monica was speechless, feeling that she had encountered a huge problem. How could she even mediate between her fiery parents?
"Monica, after I finish my work in the coming days, I'll introduce you to a high-quality man! I promise you'll like him and fall for him at first sight!"
Monica already had Tristan in her heart, so she had no interest in any other "high-quality" man. She guessed that she would go on a trip in a couple of days.
"You're not too young or too old, but you're at a marriageable age. You can try dating, get to know each other, and then get married and settle down! I have a good eye for people."
"But your marriage failed."
"You're..."
Monica didn't argue anymore, "This pasta is delicious..." But she definitely wouldn't go along with her mother to meet any high-quality man.
In Arkpool City at night, the bright moon cast a cold light in the sky.
Daphne followed Rowan and Claire, seemingly forgetting her own identity. Watching them holding hands and occasionally exchanging glances... she felt envious and her mood became heavy.
The feeling of unattainable love would devour a perfectly fine person, making every second incredibly agonizing.
She didn't know how long she had been following them. It wasn't until they prepared to turn back that Daphne gathered her thoughts and quickly hid beside a car.
She didn't want Claire to see her like this because it would be embarrassing.
Rowan led Claire to the parking area; both of them had driven there and would soon part ways.
Claire didn't know what Rowan was feeling, but she was reluctant to leave.
"People say that men don't have true love, what do you think?" Walking along, Claire looked at him with curiosity.
Rowan asked in return, "Who are 'they'? Everyone has love; it's just that each person's understanding of love might be different."
"Then..." she asked with a smile, "Can you tell me your understanding of love? What do you think love is?"
