“Yes, yes! Britney is a fine lady indeed! Oh, my son! Finally, you’re seeing reason!”
Peter said, “Mom, I’m calling you to inform you and Dad of our relationship. Britney and I will be getting married
soon.”
“Oh? Married? So soon?! That’s great news! Oh, after pursuing you for so long, Britney’s love is finally reciprocated!
I’m so happy that you acted so fast after you’ve finally understood what a good match she is. I’m so proud of you,
Peter!” Mrs. Hall was overjoyed from hearing
the news.
Peter gave a bitter smile and said, “Thank you, Mom. I’ll visit Mr. and Mrs. Thomas today to deliver the news. This
should also give you time to prepare for what’s coming.”
“Good! That’s good! Son, you’re the best! Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to hang up and tell your father the good
news!”
“Mom…” Before Peter was able to say anything else, Mrs. Hall had hung up
the phone.

living all by himself-being so independent that he could not bring himself to show weakness and ask her.
“It’s alright.” He pressed his phone onto his eyebrows and mumbled to himself, “Sally’s with them. She’ll take care
of Mom and Dad.”
Three days later, the swelling on Sally’s face had finally healed and she was released from the hospital.
As soon as she entered her home, Mrs. Hall grabbed her hand and apologized, “I’m so sorry for how I acted the
other day, Sally. I’ve always thought your brother had always been a capable boy yet he’d done such a huge
blunder.”
Sally was stunned hearing that. “What did Peter say this time?”
“He told me that you are always so busy with work so it’s not possible for you to find time to date someone. He had
made a blunder and thought that you were pregnant and intended to elope with a man. We are really sorry to have
wronged you. You’ve been such a good girl. We should never have doubted you.”
Sally frowned as she sat on the sofa speechlessly.
Mrs. Hall then tried to cheer her up with good news. “Have you heard about your brother and Britney?”
“What?” Sally asked in confusion.
“They’re finally in a relationship. Me and your dad and Britney’s parents had already gotten the news. We support
their union.” Mrs. Hall was so happy that she smiled as bright as the sun. “Now that your brother has finally decided
to get married, it’s about time for you to find your own spouse. Now, Sally, I heard about this young man from the
Gilbert family…”.
“No!” Sally interrupted her mother coldly.
Mrs. Hall was not bothered by her daughter’s curt interruption and kept on with her matchmaking. “No, hear me
out. This Gilbert lad is really good… He…”
“I meant Pete and Britney.” Sally’s face was as cold as an iceberg. “They cannot be together!
Never!”
Then, she stood up from the sofa and asked, “Where’s Pete? Is he home? I need to talk to him!”
“Sally, what’s wrong? Weren’t you fond of Britney?” Mrs. Hall was confused by her daughter’s sudden rejection of
Britney.
Sally gave her mother a conflicted gaze. She then decided that it was best to leave her parents. out of this-this
matter had gotten too complicated.
“No matter what everyone says, I just can’t accept their union. Mom, trust me. Peter can marry any woman he likes

Mrs. Hall’s face turned sour. She pulled Sally to a side and said, “Is this because of that. misunderstanding your
brother had of you? Come on, Sally. You shouldn’t hold a grudge. Peter loves you so much.”
“No, it’s not that!” Sally’s head began to ache as she tried to find a way to persuade her mother. “Why’d you think I
would hold a grudge against him just because he told a lie?!”
She knew her parents had always doted on their son more than her. It was not uncommon to see this favouritism in
Fortuna so she was not all that bothered by her parents playing favorites. After all, her brother had doted on her so
she did not feel unloved growing up in the household.
Still, her mother’s words had hurt her a great deal!
“Why are you overreacting? Your brother was not lying. It was merely a misunderstanding. We’ve been really good
to you. Sure, Peter was in the wrong for ruining your name like that. But he did it because he was worried about
you. I was so worried that you were really going to elope while being pregnant but I didn’t tell your father. Because
if he knew, he would be so pissed that he’d beat you to death,” Mrs. Hall said, thinking that her daughter was
merely acting up for how they treated her a while ago.
“Mom!” Sally was so anxious and angry seeing that her mother did not intend to listen to her side of the story. She
shoved her mother’s hand away and stomped on the floor. “I’m not upset at him saying that I was pregnant and
planning to elope. I am not upset at all about that!”
