After hearing this, Harley chuckled and said, "No need, Dad. Like I said, I only see him as a friend. I do have a soft spot for him, but not in that way. If you really go out of your way to groom him, wouldn't that just confirm the rumors?"
"Just friends, huh..." Brian raised an eyebrow slightly, "I'm just worried that sometimes you might not see your feelings clearly, and you might miss out on something."
Back then, he only saw Valda as a friend, a safe harbor to escape his emotions. He never admitted that his feelings for Valda had gradually turned into love.
It wasn't until she was in danger when he thought he had completely lost her, that he finally understood just how much he loved this woman!
Later on, when Valda was able to return to his side and become his wife, he truly felt it was a mercy from heaven.
He naturally didn't want his daughter to make the same mistakes he had.
He didn't care whether his future son-in-law was Lornell this newcomer Calvert, or anyone else for that matter.
It didn't matter whether the other person's status was high or low. Even if they were born in extreme poverty, he had ways to help them turn their life around.
All he wanted was for his daughter to do what she loved!
If his daughter liked a man, he would go to any lengths, even resorting to force or coercion, to ensure they ended up together.
But Harley was still young then, she might not have been able to clearly understand her own feelings.
Well, that wasn't too bad. He didn't want his daughter to get married too early anyway.
"I'm not confused about my feelings, I know them very well," Harley said. "Dad, I don't want to think about feelings right now. I'm still young, I want to take some time to think about what I really want to do after I graduate, what direction I want my life to take."
