“Dad, I’ve already made up my mind… You and Mom should think it through. Are you willing to lose me as your son just because you disagree with me being in a relationship with Georgie…” Henry Armstrong’s words once again induced an extremely dissatisfied feeling in his father…
However, before Henry’s father could speak, Jenny Armstrong started speaking first. “That’s right. You and Mom should think it through. If Henry leaves this family, I’ll leave too…
“If you oppose this couple, you’ll lose a pair of a perfect son and daughter.
“If you approve of this couple, you and Mom will continue to have a perfect pair of son and daughter…
“I don’t have to teach you what to choose, do it? You’ll really lose a lot if you say anything against their relationship…” Jenny said earnestly. There was a serious look in her eyes.
She had meant the things she said…
Besides, no matter what, she was going to help Henry get what he wanted.
Jenny wanted Henry to be happy.
Whatever Henry wanted to accomplish, it was right…
Jenny blindly admired Henry, and she would blindly follow him.
Henry’s father was soon about to have an emotional breakdown from the torture. His entire face turned from black to green and to black again. His breathing also became deeper. “Are you two trying to kill me by making me mad? Perfect son and daughter? Are you two even worthy of that title?”
It was over…
It really was over.
Henry’s father regretted spoiling the two of them since they were kids…
What did he end up raising?
“No… We’re such good kids. Why would we make you angry? We’re just taking a stand… We are perfect… We’re excellent in every aspect…” Jenny added.
Kids in families like theirs were destined not to be able to choose who they got married to. Jenny had known this since she was a kid.
Her eldest brother didn’t get to decide on his marriage. He ended up marrying a woman he didn’t love at all. On the surface, they maintained the image of a loving couple. Behind the scenes, they both slept around with other people. They weren’t happy at all…
Jenny didn’t want this for her second brother.
With that, Henry stood up and stormed out.
He didn’t want to continue talking nonsense.
Jenny didn’t stop him. Instead, she silently clenched her fists.
“Henry, get back here…” Henry’s father yelled.
He brought Henry up himself. Was Henry going to walk out on him like this now?
He already spoke in such a manner, but Henry still ignored him!
What kind of magic potion did that woman feed Henry?
However, Henry acted as if he didn’t hear anything. He seemed determined to fight till the end.
“Dad… Stay quiet for a moment…” Jenny said.
