The parents were to blame for spoiling the two of them too much since they were kids…
The siblings had been spoiled to an unreasonable extent…
“No matter what, you’ll have to apologize to your mother later. Don’t make her sad…” Henry Armstrong’s father said.
“Henry, although your mother says awful things, and she’s very extreme when doing certain things, she’s only doing it for your best. She doesn’t want you to be tricked by a bad woman,” Henry’s father enunciated each word carefully. His words conveyed how much he loved his son…
“I want to say that Georgie isn’t a bad woman. She’s successful in her career, she’s pretty, and she’s capable. The definition of a con-woman doesn’t fit her at all…” Before Henry could speak, Jenny Armstrong directly interrupted him.
“Why are you butting in everywhere? Can you shut up?” Henry’s father became serious.
“No… I won’t. Hit me then…” Jenny said.
Henry’s father was speechless.
Henry tried to hold his laughter in and looked at his father. “Jenny isn’t wrong… Georgie isn’t a liar. Apart from her family background, everything else about her fits your standards.”
“Also… Georgie has never initiated anything with me. I was the one who went after her the whole time…
“She didn’t even like me at first…” Henry added.
“I know this… But this doesn’t eliminate the possibility that she’s just trying to lure you into her trap…” Henry’s father said.
When talking about Georgie, Henry’s father's facial expression seemed unusually stern…
“No…” Henry uttered.
“These days, those women out there have very sophisticated methods. So to get into the higher ranks, they are often capable of doing many unbelievable things…” Henry’s father said.
“She really isn’t like that…” Henry said.
“Regardless of whether that’s the case, I still won’t agree with you two being together. You being with her doesn’t benefit our family at all,” Henry’s father said.
Henry’s father had always been affectionate toward Henry and allowed him to make decisions in most tiny matters…
