Yvonne looked at me, confused. “Mom, | still haven't gotten any new clothes.”
“We'll do it next time. Tomorrow, let's bring Grandpa William and Grandma along,” | said hurriedly.
“Alright,” Yvonne agreed. On the way home, she fiddled with the delicate little doll in her hands. Out of nowhere,
she asked, “Mom, that man from carlier looked a lot like Ryan. Are they family?”
| tightened my grip on the steering wheel, a pang of guilt hittingas | glanced at her in the rearview mirror.
“Yeah, he’s Ryan's uncle.”
“Oh, got it,” Yvonne replied, satisfied with the answer, and dropped the subject.
That afternoon, | picked up my parents from the airport with Yvonne. On the drive back to the city, my mom told
believed he’d get it, but to our surprise, he did.
| put on a happy face, but inside, | was getting nervous.

“What about you, Mom?” | asked casually.
“I'm retiring next year,” my mom said with a big smile. “Now I'm just hoping your brother gets married soon so |
can babysit his kids.”
“Mom, Aiden’s just getting started with his career. | doubt he'll be getting married anytsoon,” | said, hoping
that after working all her life, my mom could finally enjoy sfreedom for herself.
“I actually hope he settles down and has kids sooner, just like you did. Yvonne's already grown up, and you're
still young. That's really nice,” she replied.
My dad looked a bit worried. “I wonder how Aiden did when he visited his future mother-in-law’s place this
time.”
“Don’t worry. He may not always be reliable, but when it comes to serious matters, he knows what he’s doing,”
my mom reassured him.
“Victoria, now that you're working in Braylin too, you should give Aiden sadvice. Teach him to be
responsible and not play around when it comes to relationships,” my mom said seriously.
Hearing that, | felt even more uneasy inside.
If my parents ever found out | was even wilder than Aiden, would they eat their words?
“By the way, Victoria, it's been a while since you and Jared split up. Are you thinking about finding someone
new?” my mom asked. She had no clue about my private life-since to them, I'd always been the perfect
daughter: sensible, independent, never giving them a reason to worry.

Yvonne jumped in before | could answer. “Of course! First Mom was with Nathan, and now she’s with Ryan.
“Yvonne...” | shot her a warning look, my tone serious.
Yvonne stuck her tongue out playfully. “Sorry, Mom. | thought this was something I could share with Grandpa
William and Grandma.”
My parents were completely stunned.
“Already two boyfriends? That was fast!” my mom blurted out, clearly in disbelief.
| just laughed. “Mom, weren't you the one who wantedto find someone? Now that | did, you're not happy
about it?”
That left my parents speechless. All they could do was remindto be serious about relationships and not fool
around.
My mom made dinner at home, and as night fell, the doorbell rang.
“It’s got to be my dad!” Yvonne said confidently, running to open the door.
When she opened it, Nathan stood at the door, holding gifts and a basket of fruit. “It's Nathan!” Yvonne called
out,
| quickly got up and walked over. Nathan looked a little rushed as he said, “Victoria, | brought sNew Year's
presents for you.”
“Who's here?” my parents cout of the kitchen and were a bit taken aback to see Nathan at the door. “Hello,
Uncle, Aunt. I'm Nathan, Victoria's friend and collaborator,” Nathan said, introducing himself.
| jumped in quickly, “Yeah, Mom, | invested in his company, so we're working together now.”
“Oh, you work together! Well, con in and join us for dinner,” my mom said warmly.
“Con in,” | said with a smile, taking the gifts from Nathan.
Nathan seemed a bit uneasy, clearly not expecting my parents to be there.
My dad cover to make coffee and started chatting with Nathan. When he realized Nathan was one of the
owners of the hottest tech startup in town, his hands couldn't help but tremble a little.
