Mya put on the clothes Finnley bought for her and light daily makeup. After putting on a pair of light-yellow earrings, she looked at herself in the mirror, and asked, "Paula, can | go downstairs now?" Paula looked at her with a smile, "Yes, yes. Let's go." Mya followed her towards the door and soon appeared on the stairs, remembering what Paula had just said.
Shirley was sitting on the sofa drinking tea. Hearing footsteps coming downstairs again, she glanced at the closed living room door, and then looked towards the stairs.
Her beautiful daughter walked downstairs step by step.
Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Mya's gaze converged with Finnley again.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing her figure, Finnley smiled more gently, thinking to himself, “She had changed her clothes!” He was also completely relieved. And hope was rekindled in his heart.
He thought, “She would accept me, right? She has changed her clothes. She also attaches great importance to it, doesn't it?” Finnley was really happy, he was even a little excited.
In the living room.
Mya went downstairs and stood in front of the sofa, "Mom." She spoke softly, feeling a little nervous somehow.
Shirley leaned forward, put down the teacup, and scrutinized Mya, from her hair to her shoes... She was a big girl now and she was really beautiful.
"Have you made up your mind?" Shirley stood up and looked at Mya gently, "Are you sure you want to date him?" Mya couldn't figure out what her mother was thinking at the moment.
Did she agree or disagree? "I don't know if you feel the pressure of public opinion.” The middle-aged woman spoke calmly. She paced the living room, "But your father must do." Mya felt very sorry, but she didn't know what to say.
"People are slandering you for ruining Finnley's relationship with his fiancée." Shirley reminded Mya, "I think you can decide if he’s the right person by the way he deals with this matter.” Mya listened carefully, and heard her mother ask again, "Do you understand what | mean?" "l guess.” "Then let me make it clearer.” Shirley stopped, looked at Mya seriously, and said very directly, "Don't promise him as soon as you go out, be reserved.” Mya met her mother's gaze.
"You can ask why he had dinner with that person last night." She said, "The news is slandering you. You have to ask him what he thought when he read it, and how he would solve it." Her mother's words seemed to make sense.
Shirley said again, "As a girl, you have the right to feel unhappy. Don't be blinded by love." Mya met her mother's gaze, and suddenly understood, "I see, Mom." "Girls have to have their own ideas, only then will they be valued by men." Shirley taught her, "Girls who put love first will not be happy." "Mom..." Mya was suddenly moved.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShirley wasn't against Mya and Finnley. She was just teaching Mya how to love and protect herself.
"Okay, I've said everything | need to say, you can go." Shirley said, "Go and open the door.” She wanted to see what Finnley would do.
Mya pursed her lips, took a deep breath, turned, and walked towards the door.
She knew that there were reporters outside. As long as she agreed to be with Finnley, she would be called a home wrecker. She wouldn't embarrass her father or bring her family shame.
Hopefully, the situation will be under control.
In the well-decorated yard, Finnley watched Shirley say a lot to Mya, but he couldn't hear what she said. He was panicked, afraid that Shirley was teaching Mya how to refuse him.
So, when Mya opened the living room door, Finnley wasn't confident.
