Jensen looked at Nelson in surprise. He couldn't believe that Nelson would say that.
Nelson continued, "She is a faithful and honest child. If she cares and thinks about nothing, she is a selfish child. The fact that she is ready to break up with you shows that she has thought about it. After careful consideration, she still thinks it's better to break up, right?"
"Yes!" Jensen nodded. "She thinks so."
"Then, what do you think?" Nelson asked again.
Moreover, Nelson was staring at Jensen the whole time, not letting go of every single trace of emotion on Jensen's face.
"I won't break up with her," Jensen answered firmly. "I won't allow her to leave me."
"As expected of my son." Nelson patted the table with excitement, attracting everyone's attention.
He immediately said, "I'll get a bottle of wine and have a little today."
"Dad, are you not going to work today?"
"Today's a rest day," Nelson replied. "I'm happy and I'll drink a little. You should just watch and don't drink."
"I won't drink." Jensen ordered a bottle of wine for Nelson and poured it for him.
Nelson took a sip and said happily, "A man should be like this. He should make his own decisions. A man shouldn't simply follow others and have women's pity. Especially since you are a policeman, you should make your own decisions."
"Thank you for your understanding, Dad," Jensen said. "I'll try to have a meal with you tomorrow night."
"Okay," Nelson agreed. "Go back and tell your girlfriend that you don't have to live with us when you get married in the future so she will feel relieved and feel better. Otherwise, it's very difficult to get along with your mother with her temper, and she will be in a dilemma."
"Dad, you are so open-minded, which makes me feel very guilty," Jensen said.
"Don't think too much," Nelson replied. "Spending the days ourselves is our own business. It's meaningless to participate in it." "Thank you for your understanding!"
With his father's support, Jensen felt much more relaxed. He ate a plate of pastries happily.
As they were leaving, Nelson asked for two takeaways. He asked Jensen to take one and said, "This is for your girlfriend and this is for my wife. We have chosen them ourselves. No matter how bad it is, you have to accept your fate and continue to move forward."
Jensen smiled and didn't know what to say.
Nelson said, "I'm talking about my wife, your Mom!"
Jensen laughed. In his heart, he still thought that Nelson was amazing. It was obvious that it was hard for him to handle Rosalie's temper, but still he had endured it year after year, decade after decade.
When they arrived at the side of the car, Nelson immediately said to Jensen, "Jensen, go back quickly. Don't let it become cold. Pastries aren't good once they become cold."
"Okay, Dad!" Jensen quickly drove back.
When he arrived at the Emerald Apartment, Alice had not gotten up yet. She was too tired and slept very soundly.
Jensen put the pastries on the table. Then, he went into the bedroom and saw that Alice was still asleep. He reached out and touched her tender face as he called out, "Alice?"
Alice turned over and refused his touch. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and looked into Jensen's eyes. She saw that Jensen had changed his clothes and it was obvious that he had gone out before.
She looked at her watch again. It was already nine o'clock.
"Get up and eat something," Jensen said. "My Dad asked me to bring you some pastries."
"What?" Alice was stunned. "Did you say your dad?"
"Yes, my dad asked me to bring you the pastries. I went back today." There was a hint of happiness in his eyes. "He brought you some pastries."
Alice was stunned and she was so scared that she quickly sat up from the bed. Looking at Jensen, who was in front of her, she asked in a very cute way, "Your dad? Why did your dad get me pastries?"
"What do you think?" Sitting on the edge of the bed, Jensen stared at Alice with his jet-black eyes. He heard that her tone was full of suspicion and thought that Alice was so cute.
