Eternal Love For You novel Chapter 8

Jiang Liu had expected his mother to behave in this manner.

He remained calm and reversed the grip on his mother's hands.

"Mum... I'm no longer young. I'm 27 this year," he said gently.

Madam Jiang was impatient in nature and immediately retorted, "You want to get married? You can get any woman you like in River City, no, the entire country! You can find someone better with your eyes closed. Why do you have to pick an unwanted girl?"

Her chief concern was their family's reputation. After all, they were a reputable household.

It was only natural that the Jiangs would not think highly of a girl rejected by someone like the second son of the Xies, and there was also the debacle at the banquet to consider.

"I'm very fond of her, Mum," Jiang Liu continued.

Madam Jiang was momentarily stunned. "Didn't you just say that both of you have just met today?"

"Yeah, and it was love at first sight. Furthermore, we shouldn't change our minds about such important matters. Both of you and all of the guests witnessed m e and the lady saying our wedding vows in the presence of the pastor. We even... kissed. If... if you make me go against my word, what do you think will happen to her?"

Old Man Jiang could not help himself. "Son, marriage i s a life-changing decision. We can't get involved just because of pity or soft-heartedness," he said, cutting i n.

Jiang Liu laughed. "Dad, I don't really believe in ' universal love'. I'm no saint... I'm willing to get involved because... I really like her."

His proclamation of love stumped his parents.

They had never heard their son claim that he liked anyone before.

Even during that time... he never mentioned anything t o them. That incident was now taboo in the Jiang family; no one brought it up anymore, especially while Jiang Liu was around. 1
