There were some things that Mia understood, but she still could not help but worry. After all, Levi did have a lot of past lovers. What should he do if he messed up one day?
Thus, in order to prevent unfortunate things from happening, she had no choice but to take action personally and watch out for any warning signs first. This way, she could stop Levi in time in case anything happened.
"Mom, please trust me this one time. I'll show you through my actions that I, Levi Brown, can love someone properly and want to hold her hand until old age." He had been Mia's son for more than twenty years, but he had never been this serious before. Obviously, Mia understood his words.
She patted him on the shoulder and said with relief, "Son, you have really grown up and become sensible. From today on, you should date her happily. I won't stalk or eavesdrop on you two ever again."
Even after being reassured by Mia, he still couldn't believe her. "Mom, do you really mean it this time?"
Mia glared at him with dissatisfaction. "When has your mother ever lied to you?"
"When have you actually kept your word?" Levi really wanted to retort, but he didn't dare to. After all, he knew his mother's temper all too well, so he had to go along with her when necessary. He had to be careful to not act recklessly, otherwise, the situation that had just taken a turn for the better would turn out to be a mess.
"Yes, yes, you have always been a woman of her word." Levi's survival instincts made him forget his conscience. "Mom, you should have done this a long time ago. You would've seemed more like a mother."
"When you act more like a son, then I'll act more like a mother." Mia poked at his forehead. "You brat, you have to treat her well in the future. If you dare to make her sad, I'll be the first one to give you hell."
After relaying these words to Levi, Mia walked to Monique and told her sincerely, "Monique, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on you. I was just worried that Levi would bully you, so I couldn't relax. But after listening to what he just said, I truly realized that he has grown up and has become as responsible as a man should be. I believe that he'll treat you well in the future and I won't stalk you two anymore."
"Aunt Mia, I actually have something to tell you alone too. I know that Levi treats me sincerely, and so do I. I believe that we can overcome all hardships and maintain this relationship well." Love was a matter between two people. Since Levi had worked so hard, Monique believed that she should also work as hard.
She knew that the elders of the Brown family were in favor of her, but she still had to address it herself so Levi and the elders could see her determination. If others treated her with sincerity, she would also treat them with sincerity in return.
"Okay. For you two to love each other is my greatest wish of all." Mia handed Monique over to Levi. "Brat, why don't you take your girlfriend out to have some fun while you still have time?"
Levi held Monique's hand and replied, "Mom, we were planning to go out and have fun. Since you've given us permission, then we'll go pack our things now."
Mia nodded. "Go out and have some fun. It'll be even better if you can bring back a grandchild for me."
Levi said, "Mom, pay attention to what you're saying. I'm thick-skinned so I'm fine, but you have to consider Monique's feelings. She's such a good girl, how could you say that?"
"Monique, I was just joking. Please don't take it seriously." Mia and Levi had always been an unconventional pair of mother and son. At this moment, she had forgotten to consider Monique's feelings, and she felt really embarrassed.
Fortunately, Monique did not make a fuss. "Aunt Mia, it's alright. I'm someone who can take a joke."
