The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 2383

Doris felt rather disconsolate upon hearing her mother's sentiment.

Of course, she had somewhat fallen for Charlie too at some point, but unfortunately, she knew that she barely had any chance. 5

The only thing she could do was to work well in Emgrand Group and bring the company to a higher level to repay Charlie’s kindness to her as well as keep her feelings for Charlie hidden deep inside her heart. 5

Heartbroken as she looked at her daughter's silence, Faith gently took Doris's hand and said seriously, "My dear, I know I used to always urge you to get married, but I understand now that you can't force something t o happen, so you should work and live your life according to your own desires. I will no longer tell you how to live your life anymore."

Corwin said with a sigh, "Doris, your mother is right! I n the past, we’ve always meddled in your problems based on our understandings and perspective, and that was very disrespectful to you, so from now on, you are your own master in your life. Do whatever you want. Your mom and I will never intervene again." 2

Doris was very grateful when she heard this.

Oftentimes, misunderstandings occurred between children and parents due to the lack of communication and generation gap. But in truth, the reason why the misunderstanding arose was not because of material nor money, but because of the lack of mutual understanding and perception.

Parents lacked understanding of their children, and s o did the children of their parents.

For example, nowadays, most parents hoped that their children could go to a good university, find a decent and profitable job, and then settle down in a big city, living a prosperous and happy life, but they never knew what their children really wanted or yearned for. 6

Maybe their children didn't want to go to a good university, but rather, to pursue their interests and hobbies.

Maybe they didn't want to settle down in the big city and make a lot of money, but rather, they wanted to be able to travel around the world.

Hence, this lack of understanding between parents and children was not a phenomenon unique to modern society but almost throughout the history of human development. 6

Doris had always felt that her parents did not understand her, her career, and her preference for relationships.

They felt that Doris didn’t have to work so hard and sacrifice so much to build her career to the point of being single for so long.

They thought that she should find someone compatible with her, get married, and quickly settle down. To them, this was the perfect outcome for their daughter. 3

There was a time when Doris had been extremely anxious because her parents couldn’t stop urging her t o tie the knot.
