Julia's POV
"Do I have to pick you up tomorrow?" he asked as he let go of the hug.
"There's no need. John and I have already decided that he will be the one to take me home since we live next door."
Papa smirked sarcastically, as though he wasn't convinced, "Is that it? Isn't he already courting you?"
My eyes widened, "Oh, my God, dad. You're unbelievable. I just met John a few days ago."
"Is something wrong with that? That was how your mother and I used to be. We just met because her cousin is our next-door neighbor, and I fell in love with her less than a day after. We only started dating one week ago because we love each other."
"Really?" I had no idea that's how my parents met, "What if I tell you he's genuinely courting me? So, what should I do now?"
"Do what your heart tells you to do."
"But, even if I fall in love with him, I'm afraid I'll hurt him because of Shan."
