NovelEnglishClarence propped his arm on her shoulders and took her out of the apartment building. “What if she was invited to dinner at a friend's house? Would you still make a fuss?” “It's not just a simple dinner,” Shirley anxiously emphasized, “I believe my tuition.” “What's the time now? Are you sure she won't go home tonight?” Clarence trusted his daughter and knew she wasn't an open girl.
Shirley couldn't be confident, so she kept silent.
Clarence added, “Didn't Mr. Marsh tell us Mya stayed in Emerald Bay?” He didn't think Ivan would have lied to them.
Shirley calmed down slightly.
“So, we must trust Mr. Marsh,” Clarence emphasized.

“OK, OK, OK.” Clarence couldn't change her mind, so he decided to accompany her. “Shall we wait in the car?” Shirley didn’t answer, gazing at the elevator.
Clarence squeezed her aside, taking her to his car parked nearby, but Shirley still looked at the elevator.
“I don’t think she'll come downstairs so soon. They bought ingredients, didn't they?” Clarence opened the door of the passenger's seat. “Sit in. At least she'll finish dinner first.” Shirley had to sit in the car and muttered, “Back your car into the shadow. Let me see the entrance, but you cannot let them see you.” “All right.” Therefore, Clarence waited with his wife and called the takeout for dinner.
Although hungry, Shirley had no appetite.
“What if Mya really has a boyfriend? Why didn’t she tell us? She even moved into his house...” Shirley was distraught.
“Let's have dinner, Honey. Probably, they are also eating.” The night was out.
In the apartment on the 28th floor, Mya helped Finnley in the kitchen. They cooked the lobster together.
“You are doing a good job.” Finnley was in a good mood, smiling at her. “I didn’t expect the mayor's daughter could chop vegetables.” “The mayor's daughter is also a human, all right?” While chopping the asparagus, Mya answered, “A human needs to learn how to survive. Besides, my father won't be a mayor forever. You know I've never been proud of my identity.” After being with her for a few weeks, Finnley thought Mya was honest, generous, and easygoing.
Although young, she was still pure-minded, which was rare.
Downstairs.
Mya’s parents were having dinner in the car. Shirley couldn't enjoy the food taste, checking at the entrance all the time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe was waiting for an answer and a confirmation.
“Honey...” Clarence finished eating and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. “What would we do if Mya didn’t come out tonight?” He thought maybe Mya wouldn't leave the apartment tonight. Nothing was impossible.
“I would rush upstairs to take her away,” Shirley blurted out.
“No. You can't do it.” Clarence shook his head and said gently, “I think we should have introspection.” Frowning, Shirley looked at him in disbelief. “Are you used to serving the civilians so much that you always push all the blame on yourself? She does things without a principle. Why do | need to have introspection?” “Nah,” Clarence explained, “Having a boyfriend is important. But Mya is unwilling to tell us. What does it mean? It means she has distanced herself from us.” Shirley couldn't utter a word.
Stressed silence blanketed the car.
“Mya is always considerate and cares about us. She has a boyfriend, but why is she hiding from us?” Clarence started to reflect on himself. Then he concluded, “We've ignored her. We were always absent during her growth.” His words hit Shirley's nerves, and she finally calmed down. Then she thought about this matter rationally.
“Her current boyfriend might not be her husband in the future.” Clarence realized something further. “In the current era, her requirements for her future husband will change while she becomes maturer.” Then he added, “If you made a fuss, she would hide from you after she had another boyfriend in the future. In that case, if she encountered a scumbag, her whole life would be ruined.”
