Donald paced anxiously in his room , waiting for Cathy . The moment Cathy walked in , Donald couldn’t hold back . He said , ” Mom , how did it go ? Jennifer and Irene didn’t end up fighting , did they ?
Cathy chuckled softly , shaking her head . She said , “ You’re smitten with Jennifer , aren’t you ? ”
Donald pressed , “ Mom , just tell me . Jennifer wasn’t bullied by Irene , right ? ” His worry was written all over his face . If he weren’t stuck in bed , he would’ve rushed out to check on Jennifer himself .
Cathy said , “ Jennifer isn’t one to be trifled with . A few words from her , and Irene was already fuming . ”
“ That’s a relief . I was so worried Jennifer might’ve been pushed around , ” Donald said , visibly relaxing . His thoughts were entirely on Jennifer
Although Jennifer hadn’t been mistreated , Cathy couldn’t help but think more about Jennifer . Cathy found Jennifer to be a strong – willed young woman . She asked , “ Tell me , what’s Jennifer’s family situation like ? ”
Cathy thought , ‘ If it comes down to marriage , it’s impossible not to inquire about Jennifer’s family . After all , marriage is a matter involving two families .
‘ More importantly , Jennifer has a very bad temper , and her attitude is also a bit cold . I wonder if she might bully Donald . Donald replied , “ Mom , Jennifer’s family is a bit complicated . Let me give you a quick rundown .”
After hearing the summary , Cathy was stunned . She had expected Jennifer’s family to be complicated , but not to this extent . Jennifer didn’t just have Teresa as a younger sister , there was also a little sister who was just a toddler . Donald added , “ Mom , don’t look so shocked . I’ve already told you , I don’t care about her family background . The person i want to spend my life with is her . To me , she’s an exceptional and upright person , and that’s all that matters .”
Cathy didn’t respond immediately . She lowered her head , her expression conflicted . To say she didn’t mind Jennifer’s family background at all would be a lie . Every parent dreamed of their child marrying into a stable , loving family . It was only natural .
At the very least , a family that wasn’t so complicated like Jennifer’s . A loving and stable home produced well – rounded children . But Jennifer’s mom had been through divorces and remarriage . Cathy couldn’t help but worry .
She thought , ‘ How could someone raised in such chaos truly understand what it means to build a stable family ? Would Jennifer adopt her mother’s worldview ? Would she also treat such matters with indifference ? ‘
“ Mom , come on ! You promised me . You said you wouldn’t stand in our way , ” Donald reminded Cathy , his tone almost pleading .
Cathy said , “ I’m not saying no , but it’s hard not to worry . ” She pressed her fingers to her temples as if trying to ease the weight of her thoughts . She could see how deeply Donald cared for Jennifer .
Fate was a strange thing . When someone fell in love , no amount of outside disapproval mattered – to them , the other person was flawless . That single – minded devotion made people reckless , willing to risk everything .
Seeing how resolute Donald was , Cathy said , “ Alright , as long as Jennifer has good character , that’s what matters . If her values are strong , she stays out of trouble , and she can live a stable life as a doctor , then that’s fine for me . ”
Teresa called Jennifer and asked , “ Why haven’t you gone to Shaville ? ”
Jennifer finally admitted , “ I’m not going to Shaville for now . ”
Teresa was stunned .
Jennifer added , “ Donald had a car accident . I just can’t stop worrying about him . ”
Teresa immediately asked , “ What happened ? When did it happen ? Was it serious ? ”
Jennifer explained , “ It happened the day we visited Grandpa and Grandma’s graves . He’s fine now , just under observation at the hospital . I’ve been taking care of him these past few days . ”
Teresa went quiet . She wanted to ask if Jonathan was at the hospital too , but she knew Jennifer would
In the end , she held back and said , “ Donald’s a good guy . He likes you .”
Jennifer replied , “ Yeah . I’m still thinking about
