"That’s more like it." Liliana Davis lifts her face to gaze at the night sky, "Sally is truly a good child, she’s neither arrogant nor impatient. I genuinely like her. If you two could end up together, even if one day I’m not around anymore, I could rest easy."
"Mom, what are you saying!" Nathan Leafcastle turns around, wraps his arm around his mother’s shoulder, "You’re still young, don’t talk about not being around."
Looking sideways at her son with a smile, Liliana Davis’s face is full of warmth.
"And what about you, what do you want to do?"
Nathan Leafcastle falls silent again, without a word.
In truth, he understands the feelings Sally Dalton has harbored for him over the years.
To be honest, he likes that girl too, but it’s just liking. It hasn’t reached the level of love.
"I really want to love her, but..." Nathan Leafcastle gently shakes his head, "It’s always just a little bit short."
"Love?!"
Liliana Davis sighs.
"Young people like to talk about love. When you’ve reached my age, you’ll understand that love is just a montary impulse. So-called partners are companions in life, the most important word is ’companion’. Where is there everlasting love? Those are just tricks in novels and movies ant to deceive young girls. The most intense love will be ground away by ti until nothing is left."
After a brief silence, Nathan Leafcastle turns his face to look at Liliana Davis.
"Mom, do you really hope I marry Sally?"
Liliana Davis turns her face to look at her son, her gaze full of tenderness.
"Silly child, it’s not that Mom hopes you marry anyone in particular, Mom hopes... that you’re happy. For your happiness, Mom would do anything!"
Liliana Davis was young once. Having gone through so much, she certainly understands the pain of unrequited love.
Vera Wave is about to get married soon, and she doesn’t want Nathan Leafcastle to hold onto any illusions, as it would only destroy his life.
The reason she’s doing this is to help her son forget Vera Wave.
"Love is like a dream, the sooner you wake up, the less pain you’ll endure."
Liliana Davis wraps her arms around her son and gently pats his shoulder.
"Nathan, your life is just beginning now, don’t let things not worth it affect your entire life. Take a good look at who you should truly cherish!"
After speaking, she lets go of her son.
"Sally specially made you so soup, go down and have a taste. For a girl accustod to luxury to do this for you, it’s not easy!"
As she speaks, the door lightly knocks.
No need to guess, they know it’s Sally Dalton.
Nathan Leafcastle puts out his cigar, "Co in!"
The door opens, and Sally Dalton walks in carrying a wooden tray with a soup pot.
"Auntie said you love Pork Ribs soup, I tried making so, you should try if it’s any good."
As she speaks, she hands him a bowl.
Nathan Leafcastle takes the soup bowl, but his gaze lands on the bandaid wrapped around her left-hand finger.
"What happened to your hand?"
"Oh... it’s nothing!" She quickly hides her hand behind her, "Hurry and taste it, see if it’s good!"
Putting down the soup bowl in his hand, Nathan Leafcastle reaches out and pulls her hand from behind to take a closer look.
"What really happened?"
"It... it’s my own clumsiness, while washing the pork ribs, I accidentally got pricked by a bone. Don’t laugh at !" The girl smiled shyly, "You... you won’t make fun of , will you?"
