Rose looked at the water in her glass. Although she did not like the two of them, she could not show it in front of her mother.
"Mom, I'm not feeling well. You'll have to excuse me."
"Where do you think you're going in the heavy rain? Mr. Huber drove here. He's gonna drive you home later."
"Yeah, you haven't had a bite yet. Do you not like the food here? Then let's switch to another restaurant right away."
When Mr. Huber heard that she was going to leave, he quickly stood up.
"You need to at least make a toast now that you are here. Since you don't drink, make one with the water."
"Then I'll leave after that. I'm really not feeling well."
"All right, all right. Not that you are a little girl under my wings anymore. A toast to Mr. Huber, then."
Rose nodded, lifted the glass of water in front of her, and said, "Mr. Huber, thank you for your hospitality. This toast is to you, may you always be healthy and your business prosperous."
"Bottoms up, Rose."
Since it was only water in the glass, Rose didn't care at all.
She took a sip of the water in her glass and said, "Mr. Huber, excuse me now, I'll take my leave."
"Wait, Rose, I asked you to come back for a reason. You're going to graduate soon. Mr. Huber is very good. I want you to marry him."
"What!" Rose felt strange before, but she didn't know what her mother was planning.
The glass in her hand fell on the table. "You want me to marry a man who's old enough to be my father?"
"What are you talking about? He's only turning 40 this year! Don't you little girls dig older men nowadays?"
"He's rich and considerate. There's nothing wrong with this marriage at all but happiness for you!"
Rose frowned and asked, "Mom, are you crazy?"
What on earth was she thinking? How could she let her marry such an old man!
"I am not crazy. I only know that this is for your own good. You are my daughter. How can I not think for your sake?
Mr. Huber is gentle and considerate. Marry him and you will have nothing else to worry about but counting dollar bills at home!"
Mr. Huber on the side saw that Rose was so young and beautiful, much more beautiful than the photos he was shown. He was overjoyed.
"Yes, yes, I'm very rich. You don't have to do a d*mn thing anymore if you marry me. All you gotta do all day long is shopping and all."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Huber. I already have a boyfriend. He can buy whatever I like." Rose refused coldly.
If she had known this would happen, there was no way she would've come back.
"That's fine, you can break up with him. I don't really mind."
"I do. You are too old for me. I have to go now." Rose took the opportunity to leave.
Seeing her so unappreciative, Joshua's face darkened. "Rose, I dare you to take one more step!"
"Yeah? Try stopping me." Rose ignored his warning and left directly.
He made a phone call, and a few people came in from the door and blocked Rose's way.
"What are you doing? What do you want?" "Not much. We're doing this for your own good.
We are making this happen, right here and now. And after that, it's not your call to make whether to marry him or not."
"How dare you? I'll call the police now!"
