After reading all the comments, I looked at Shannon and asked a little curiously," What's wrong with the comments?"
"I'm so jealous." Shannon looked aggrieved. "I'm envious of you. My relationship with Jordan is so boring. He never says sweet things nor does something romantic. He doesn't buy me gifts when we go out shopping. Other men will give their girlfriends flowers or accessories when they meet their girlfriends, but he gives me nothing. As the president of Fredericks Corporation, does he not feel embarrassed at all?"
I smiled slightly. "Maybe he's not stingy. He just doesn't know what to do when he’s dating someone. You can be straightforward and tell him that you expect gifts from him and they can make you happy. Only then will he remember it and buy you gifts often."
"I don't want to." Shannon pouted. "A gift will seem pointless if you have to ask for it.'
I nodded to express understanding.
Although Theo and I had never dated and our relationship remained uneventful from the beginning until now, I understood what a lady expected in a relationship.
Nevertheless, if Shannon was envious of a single comment by Theo, did it mean that Jordan had done far too little things for her?
After a few minutes, Shannon suddenly looked at me and said, "Honestly, I feel like breaking up with him already."
Her eyes were a little moist.
I quickly persuaded her. "Don't be impulsive. Everyone loves differently. This is determined by one’s personality and concept of love. Moreover, it's through the mundanity of life that can one truly understand the true meaning of love. True feelings come in the form of mundanity. You just need to be sure that he likes you and cares about you so you’ll have no reason to give up."
Shannon gently sighed. "Really?”
I nodded. "The only reason why you would think that love should be perfect as you imagined it to be is due to the influence of TV shows and novels. No one is perfect, so there's no perfect love. You can't say that an imperfect love isn't love.”
Shannon thought about it and said, "Let me give him a call again. We’ll see if he picks up."
She missed Jordan too much and felt really upset on the inside.
This time, Jordan answered the call.
