"I have been saving money lately all these past few months and managed to invest it. This was why I couldn't send money back ho and before I earned sothing from the money, I didn't want to face you and now that I made a huge earning, of course, I should do my filial duty. I ........"
Belinda knew her daughter well. She wouldn't do anything that goes against morality and if she was saying that she invested her savings and earned profits, then it was that.
She couldn't help but smile, her eyes filled with so much pride, "as expected of my baby. You are really a genius!"
Diamond laughed happily upon hearing that; it had always been like that. Although she wasn't talented in many aspects, her parents had always been very proud of her and would praise her to the nines.
She was embarrassed when growing up because she knew that her talents were diocre. Ruby, however, was a genius, and she was soone who would achieve sothing greater in the future.
And Diamond wanted a brighter future for her. She was going to do her best to give her a better chance for tertiary education. She was a rich person now, and sending Ruby to school was very easy.
Richard Perry wasn't a talkative person, and everyone was used to that. The father simply looked at Diamond with love and pride in his eyes.
"Okay, we can talk later. How about we arrange the food and cook sothing? I am starving!" Ruby suggested, seeing how everyone wasn't moving.
When she said that, it finally dawned on Belinda that there were chores to do. Quickly, everyone was busy, including Richard packing the food in the pantry while Belinda happily prepared supper for everyone.
On that night, the family was finally completed, and the supper was more delicious than before. After supper, they sat together in the sitting room and began to listen to Diamond talking about Frin City.
The family of four would laugh here and there, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Richard had to go to work early, so he went to sleep before everyone else and only the won remained.
Belinda looked at Diamond, and as a mother, she could tell that her child was hiding sothing, but before the other was willing to share, she wasn't going to share.
But as a mother, she was also curious about her daughter's relationships. After all, Diamond was already twenty-five, and she hadn't spoken anything about a boyfriend for nearly three years.
After Diamond broke up with that scum of a boyfriend that made her daughter cry for a long ti, Belinda didn't dare to pressure her daughter or ask her about relationships.
But now the ti had passed, and she believed that ti was the best healer of all. She should be healed by now. And her daughter's age was suitable for marriage. There were so many girls Diamond's age who were already married and with kids.
Although she didn't wish to rush her daughter into doing that, she would feel relieved if there was soone.
Her daughter had beco more beautiful than before and she didn't believe that with such a face, no one would want her. She didn't ask how her daughter managed to change like that. After all, there were lightning creams and all that.
"Mom, if you want to know sothing, just ask, and don't glare at like that!" Diamond wasn't feeling comfortable with the way her mother was looking at her at all.
Belinda chuckled embarrassingly, seeing that she had been caught red-handed, "Okay, okay, I just want to know if I have a son-in-law."
Ruby beca very interested as well. Her sister beca this beautiful and more fairy-like. She should definitely have several n pursuing her.
Diamond knew that this question would co, and she didn't want to beat around the bush, "Mom, I am still single but don't worry, one day I will bring you two or three sons-in-law and you will beco a legendary mother with several in-laws."
Belinda choked upon hearing that and Ruby simply started laughing so much that tears were streaming down her cheeks, "Big sister, I applaud you! This is definitely sothing aweso!"
Belinda looked at Diamond with disbelief in her eyes, "darling, this..... what do you an?"
"Mom, won't that be wonderful?" Diamond teased the shocked lady with amusent in her eyes.
Ruby also chipped in and teased her mother, "Mom, co on, let's try it. Hahaha, just thinking of the brothers-in-law vying for sister's attention will be fun."
Belinda didn't know what to think of that. That was simply hilarious, but from Diamond's tone, she could tell that her daughter's joke was sohow her earnest thoughts.
How did she end up having such thoughts? Did that scum of her ex-boyfriend make her have such thoughts? What did that person do to her daughter?
In the end, Belinda was forced to go and sleep early, as she wanted to have so monts to herself and organize her thoughts.
Ruby was so excited that she slept late, she couldn't stop talking about reverse harems. Apparently, the little girl had the sa taste as her.
It was only after Ruby was sleeping that Diamond finally rembered that she hadn't given her parents or Ruby the gifts that she prepared for them. Anyway, there was still ti, so she was going to give them later. She was still there, after all.
The next day, everyone left Diamond to her own devices, and to be honest, the house was so quiet that she was troubled by it. Luckily, the weekend was approaching, so she was going to spend so ti with everyone.
She didn't bother going out, as she didn't want to et the gossipy people outside. She spent her ti talking to so I. T technician who was currently in the middle of creating a website for her charity organization.
As she didn't know much about technology, she decided to leave the job to the professionals. This was her baby, and she wanted to do her utmost best for it.
She was even thinking of creating a special app for it as well. After all, there were so many people capable of making them and also apps to create one.
