She looked at Rose incredulously as she asked, “Mom, look at how things turned out. Do you still think we can get married?”
Norman frowned. “Silly girl, what are you thinking? I already made it clear that if they wanted to dissolve the engagement, they wouldn’t decide last minute; it isn’t how they do things.”
However, Linda’s frown deepened. “You guys just don’t believe me, do you? I truly feel that way!”
At times, my sense of ominous premonition is very accurate! Gareth is acting very peculiar!
Rose’s brows furrowed together. “Alright. I’ll speak to Monica to see if anything’s up.”
Linda nodded profusely. “Yes, you should ask about it, Mom. Otherwise, I will keep worrying about it. These days, it’s always his assistant who picks up my calls, and he is constantly busy. I don’t even have the opportunity to speak to him alone. If this carries on, we…”
Her voice trailed off. She was worried about her speculations becoming a reality.
“Okay, okay. You should stay calm. Look at how you are behaving right now! You don’t seem to be the daughter I brought up,” Rose said with contempt, leaving Linda momentarily stunned.
“Mom, you–” She was on the verge of crying. To begin with, she had been somewhat agitated that day. Yet, her parents didn’t even seem to care about her, making her unable to hold it in anymore. Tears streamed down her face in the next second. “Why don’t you believe me? Do you know how much I’ve suffered? Am I really your daughter?”
“Oh, sweetheart!” Upon seeing his daughter crying, Norman felt sorry for her. He immediately walked to her and wiped the tears off her face. “You have always been our baby. How could you say that? I’ve already explained this to you – if they dare to dissolve the engagement, I will terminate our business deals. The Wickam family values our business a lot. How would they fix the situation after that?”
