Chapter 1282: Can’t Escape the Fate of Matchmaking?
"Who says I can’t let go?" Carlotta Sterling chuckled again, "Would I be unable to let him go? No way!""Don’t..." Don’t hide it, Janelle Mills smiled gently, "After all, he was the man you once loved deeply, the one you resolutely chose, even shared a bed with..."
"Janelle Mills!!"
"Okay, okay... I was wrong." The girl instantly backed down.
The mother and daughter locked eyes, a bit of tension building between them.
After a full half-minute, Carlotta Sterling calmed herself and sighed.
The girl also looked away, picking up her chopsticks again, "I just think that only by being at peace can you prove you’ve let go. The more you act like this, the more it seems like you still love him. He might be cheering right now—men have a strong sense of possession."
Those words unexpectedly hit Carlotta Sterling right in her heart, leaving her with mixed emotions.
Yeah, why get angry?
It’s been years since the divorce!
"Hurry up and eat your dumplings." Carlotta Sterling explained, trying to hide her flustered heart, "I’m angry because I know your dad’s intentions, it’s not that I still have lingering feelings for him! I’m just mad about him trying to take over our daughter."
Janelle Mills braced herself for her mother’s nagging and didn’t plan to argue back.
"Your dad wants to meddle in your marriage, and I won’t let him introduce you to boyfriends! No matter how outstanding the person he introduces is, it’s not happening!"
"Why?" The girl was curious, "What if... that boy is your destined one? Wouldn’t you allow it?"
"That’s right! I wouldn’t!"
As Carlotta Sterling ate her dumplings, she complained, "He ignored you all these years, and now he wants to pick up a ready-made daughter? Didn’t he marry someone else? Let him have kids if he can manage!"
"..." Janelle Mills was speechless, feeling like she faced an enormous dilemma.
How could parents be reconciled when they were so irreconcilable?
"Janelle, when I’m done with this busy period, I’ll introduce you to a quality man! I guarantee you’ll like him and fall for him at first sight!"
Janelle Mills, who already had Trevor in her heart, had no interest in any so-called quality man.
She was thinking of traveling in a few days.
"You know, you’re no longer young, it’s time to consider a relationship, get to know each other and settle down! Mom can spot a good person."
"Your marriage failed though."
"You..."
Janelle Mills didn’t argue further, "These dumplings are delicious, I’ve eaten fifteen." But she definitely wasn’t going to see any quality men her mom wanted her to meet.
Riventhal, nighttime.
The bright moon cast a cold and eerie light down from the sky.
Vera Ford followed Ian Shelby and Jocelyn Morgan along, seemingly forgetting herself.
Watching them walk hand in hand, exchanging glances and words occasionally... she felt envious, with a particularly heavy heart.
The feeling of unrequited love could devour a person, making every moment tormenting.
She didn’t know how long she’d followed them.
Until they were about to turn back, Vera Ford gathered her thoughts and quickly hid beside a car.
She didn’t want Jocelyn Morgan to see her because it would be too embarrassing.
Ian Shelby was leading Jocelyn towards their cars since they both drove there; they’d be parting soon.
Jocelyn Morgan wasn’t sure how Ian Shelby felt, but she was reluctant to leave.
"They all say men are emotionless, what do you think?" As they walked, Jocelyn Morgan curiously glanced at him.
Ian Shelby asked back, "Who are they? Everyone has feelings, but each person understands them differently."
"Then..." She was curious, smiling as she asked, "Can you talk about your understanding of emotions? What do you think of emotions?"
