Yolden was indeed very happy today.
His only daughter was not only out of danger, but she had also returned to his side safely.
Most importantly, after this incident, she would certainly understand the dangers in this world more, and she would not continue pursuing some unrealistic ideals blindly anymore as she did in the past. 7
Moreover, his daughter had already promised Charlie that she would stay to help him. This meant that Yolden would be able to live with his daughter in the safe and comfortable city of Aurous Hill for a long time, then. 4
Since he was happy, he naturally drank a few more glasses. 5
After three glasses of wine, Yolden was already somewhat drunk.
Yolden kept thanking Charlie repeatedly before he finally focused the topic on his daughter.
He looked at his only daughter with a somewhat drunk yet doting expression on his face as he sighed and said, "Autumn, you're about the same age as Charlie, but Charlie has already been married for four
years now. So, it's about time for you to take your personal problems seriously, right?" s
Autumn had already drunk half of the bottle of red wine. Although she was not drunk, her pretty face was flushed red.
When she heard that her father was suddenly concerned about her marriage, she said somewhat embarrassedly, "Dad... there's no need to be so anxious about this kind of matter, right? I have so many friends around me who are about the same age as me, and they are still pursuing their advanced studies in the university. It does not matter even if I were to get married in my thirties." 4
As soon as Autumn heard this, she was immediately dumbfounded. After a few seconds, she finally came back to her senses as she said embarrassedly, "Mr. Wade, what are you talking about?! Those are all my classmates... How could my other half possibly be there?" 5
She really would not have expected Charlie to instantly heave a huge sigh of relief as soon as he heard this. After that, he said emotionally, "Sigh. It's good that she's not there, then."
Yolden drowned his sorrows alone with a glass of liquor at this time, and he raised his hand in mid-air a s he gestured continuously as he said, "In truth, I have already come to accept the fact now. In this society now, this kind of situation is actually very common. Many countries have already allowed legal same-sex marriages. This includes the United States. If you find a partner that you desire, you can totally obtain your marriage certificate in the United States." 6
Autumn was extremely embarrassed, and she hurriedly said, "Sigh, Dad! I think you must have drunk a little too much! Why don't you drink less?" "I did not drink too much..." Yolden said seriously, "In fact, I have been bottling up these words in my heart for a very long time now. I've always wanted to tell you the truth, but I could never find the opportunity to do so. It just so happens that you've come back safely today. So, I have to take advantage of this opportunity t o tell you what’s really on my mind." 4
As he spoke, Yolden did not wait for Autumn's reply. Instead, he simply continued, "What I really hope for is for you to be happy and healthy. I do not necessarily want you to live your life the way I want you to. Life is short. So, you should just live your life the way you like best." 6
