He would not share information about Willow with anyone.
“That’s wonderful… No, what I meant is what a coincidence. Yvonne doesn’t have a boyfriend yet either. What do you think of Yvonne? She’s beautiful. She’s definitely one of the most beautiful women in the slum. Countless men want to pursue her…” Yvonne’s mother eagerly recommended her precious daughter to Nana.
Bob looked at Nana with anticipation.
Nana was the city defense army’s commander-in-chief. If he took a fancy to his daughter, their family would have gotten themselves a powerful connection even if he did not marry her and only takes her as a lover.
They did not expect to rely on Nana to do whatever they wanted in Dorodo. They were content with living a harmonious, stable, carefree life.
Yvonne was already blushing. She did not expect her parents to be so direct. Besides, she was still here. Bob and Yvonne’s mother acted like she did not exist.
Yolanda almost laughed out loud.
Nana looked slightly awkward.
He glanced at Yvonne, who was blushing ragingly, shook his head, and said, “Don‘t make fun of me. Our age isn’t suitable for each other.”
“Well… The age difference isn’t an issue. We don’t mind. And Yvonne certainly doesn’t care…” Bob said quickly.
Yvonne’s mother also repeatedly nodded in agreement. “Yes, yes. Commander Ishac, Yvonne is lucky if you can take a fancy to her. How could she refuse? Am I right, Yvonne?”
What else could Yvonne say?
She lowered her head shyly and held her cutlery in silence.
Bob and Yvonne’s mother simply assumed that Yvonne acquiesced and continued persuading Nana to accept Yvonne.
Nana would not agree, of course. Besides the age difference between Yvonne and him, he was now the commander-in-chief of Dorodo’s city defense army. If he brought a woman back to the main camp, how was he going to explain to the soldiers when they saw that?
Besides, Nana still had no idea about Yvonne’s exact age, and Bob and Yvonne’s mother refused to tell him, but Nana could tell that Yvonne was definitely not over 18!
Nana would never accept a girl like that. He would be uneasy if he did.
