Thinking that her daughter had grown up and would marry a man, Shirley felt a sharp pang in her heart.
Mya’s face when she was little flashed through Shirley’s mind. They were so clear and close.
She still couldn’t believe her baby girl had grown up and would love a man.
She had to admit time flew too fast.
Clarence heaved a sigh and continued, “We’re her parents, so we shall not stop her. Instead, we need to help her filter the boys. Finnley is decent. After all, he works for Ivan.”
Shirley wondered if he was calm because it was Finnley.
If it were another man, Clarence would skin him alive.
“He’s decent, but it doesn’t mean he’ll be a good husband or a perfect match for Mya.” Shirley has a different point of view. “Think it’s like doing business? Anyway, we cannot allow them to be together so easily. Mya shouldn’t have hidden it from us.”
“They haven’t been to register in the City Council secretly, have they? They are still dating.”
Shirley looked at his wrinkled face in confusion. “You...” Her gaze became harsher and harsher.
“What’s wrong? What did I say wrong?” Clarence asked patiently.
“Honey, to be honest, have you known this long ago?” The more Shirley wondered, the fishier it seemed to her. “You’re close to Ivan, so you know his special assistant well. Did you know they were together long ago?”
“No way! You wronged me.” Clarence stood upright. “Absolutely not.”
They locked eyes. Clarence didn’t feel guilty, so he calmly looked into Shirley’s eyes.
Shirley stopped suspecting him and continued to wait, wishing to see if Mya would leave the man’s apartment this evening.
The dust in Arkpool City was gorgeous today. The sunset glory was like burning flames.
After leaving the Marsh Group, Linda didn’t go home directly. With Catherine’s bank card in her handbag, she went to Arkpool City’s biggest shopping mall.
Instead of taking a bus, she hailed a taxi.
After getting off the bus, she watched the sparkling lights inside the mall, feeling dizzy.
