“Listen to me, Dad. Jory and I truly love each other. So, I think we should talk about settling down,” Nancy continued persuading Simon.
Settle down? No way! She has just gotten divorced, and now, she wants to get married again? She isn't considering Caspian's feelings at all! What on earth has gotten into her?
“I said no, so there's no room for discussion. At least for this year, don't even think about it. Nancy, you've just gotten divorced, and it was you who proposed it. Caspian didn't even say anything, yet you're now thinking of getting married again. What do you want others to say? Do you want them to say that you've long since cheated on Caspian?” Simon snapped without holding back his punches.
At that, Nancy instantly went silent. She didn't expect her father to put things so bluntly.
Well, he probably dislikes Jory a lot. But I really love him!
“Dad, I'm going to marry Jory no matter what. I've decided on him. Regardless of what others say, we love each other. Also, I'm going to bring him to meet you tomorrow. I'm just informing you now.” After saying that, she hung up the phone.
“How dare you...” Before Simon had even finished speaking, the disconnect tone sounded.
Good heavens! How could she be so willful?
He heaved a sigh.
Back when Nancy and Caspian got divorced, he planned to transfer all the family assets to Caspian to make it up to him. To his surprise,
Caspian declined firmly. Thus, he felt a tad guilt toward him.
Presently, Nancy was sulking, and her eyes brimmed with sorrow.
“Hey, what's wrong?” Joan hurriedly plopped down.
“A cup of coffee, please.” She then beckoned at the server a near distance away.
“What else could it be? I really don't understand my father,” Nancy huffed.
From her morose expression, I'm sure it has to have something to do with Jory. Otherwise, no one would be able to influence her mood, considering her mettle.
