"Of course!” Autumn replied seriously, "I’m not an old feudalist. You're already old, and you should also have a companion in the future. I'll definitely give my complete approval if you really manage to pursue Aunt Hall hereafter. So, you do not have to worry about anything and just pursue her. Just let me know i f you need my help with anything."
In truth, Autumn was somewhat originally resistant to the thought of her father falling in love again. 2
This was because she had always been very angry with her father because of her mother’s death. She believed that her father had a somewhat unshirkable responsibility for her mother's death.
However, because of her experience in Syria this time, she had become more tolerant and understanding toward her father. 3
The reason why her father had been traveling everywhere and working so hard all these years was because he wanted to give his family a better financial foundation so that they would have a better living environment. He had never had an affair, and h e had never cheated on his wife before even when he was earning tens of millions of US dollars a year. Overall, he was still a very family-oriented person.
There were some times when it would be very hard to maintain a balance between both career and family. Most fathers would have to work outside most of the time, and this was actually not easy. 4
Moreover, her father was now single and old, and he not only lacked the warmth of having a partner in his life, but he was also missing out on being cared for by his partner.
People often said that it would be better to have a companion when growing old, and there would indeed be a great shortcoming in the days when a person was old and did not have a companion.
As his daughter, Autumn naturally did not want her father to be lonely and alone all the time. Even if she had returned to his side as his daughter, his life would still be incomplete because of the lack of a partner. 1
When Yolden heard his daughter’s words, he felt very touched and relieved in his heart. 3
However, since there were so many people around them, Yolden could only reply vaguely, "I'm relieved and satisfied that you’re thinking this way. As for Aunt Hall and myself, we'll just let nature take its course."
Autumn blurted out, "How can you do that?! Let nature take its course? Aunt Hall is such an excellent person and you're going with the flow?! Aunt Hall must have a lot of suitors! So, you have to give it your best shot in order to succeed!"
Yolden replied embarrassedly, "This... This... We'll continue talking about this when we get home!”
