"I will support you financially!" Helin exaggeratingly replied, "Roger, I love you because of your personalities. You are optimistic, dedicated, and responsible enough to excel over your colleagues. Because of these, I have a desire for you.
Besides, I do not deny the fact that we have a big difference in terms of social status. But I think that made you strive harder and achieve getting ahead of your colleagues." Helin continued, "If my Dad remains stubborn, I will not hesitate to compete with him. As a last resort, you may take me anywhere you want to seek fortune. I strongly believe this matter will be perfectly solved!"
She brushed Roger's hand affectionately and continued, "Or better yet we may flee with my jewels and accessories. We can sell those to sustain our lifetime."
"Stop your fantasy!" Roger gathered his words as he caressed Helin's hair and then said, "You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth and I think you are not destined to have a simple life with me!"
Once, Roger had lived in poverty and had a miserable life.
"I am willing to face anything even suffering if that's what can bring us together!" Firmness was clearly noticeable on Helin's face as she expressed those words.
With that, Roger forced a smile and said, "Helin, you are too innocent and young to involve yourself in this stressful situation!"
Helin took again Roger's hand with a painted hope in her eyes and begged, "Roger, you don't have to worry because I will do everything to get my Dad's approval of our relationship."
"If... If he remains adamant, we may escape in a worthwhile manner. I believe we can clear up this situation!" Helin said with a gentle smile on her innocent face.
She gave Roger an endearing hug and said, "Now, I have to discuss it with my Dad. Just wait for the good news."
Gazing into Helin's back figure as she turned from him, Roger became delighted at the prospect of Helin arguing with Heron.
When Helin was walking towards Heron, she found him chatting happily with his friend.
Without the slightest consideration of the ongoing conversation, she directly went to his father and demanded time for a talk.
"Helin! You are impossible. That's very impolite of you to interfere with my talk with your senior." Heron expressed his disbelief and displeasure to Helin, "Please say hello to your senior... following the action of a well-nurtured girl."
"It is nice to meet you, Uncle." Helin forced a welcoming greeting and motioned her father to leave the scene on the disguise of her discomfort.
"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry that I have to leave now. Helin has been spoiled by me." Heron clearly expressed his apology.
"It doesn't matter. Take care of your daughter for now. We may still chat later."
