"Will your parents be okay with this?" Lea asked again when she heard nothing from William.
William could only stare at her as a reply. Of course, his parents would oppose such a thing. But, it was not the biggest problem. As long as he kept this a secret, nothing bad would happen. Oh, no! Looked like, this time, he couldn't make sure that everything would turn out fine.
"Ehm, about that …," William stopped, looking away from Lea, "we can figure it out later, okay? Let's go home first."
Knowing the uncertainty crossed William's handsome face, Lea got even more anxious.
"William, I have to go. It's my fate! Trust me I'll be fine—"
"Lea, please!" William snapped, stopping Lea's words. "Why are you being so stubborn? Your mom is sick. Who do you think will take good care of her? And, how about your sisters? Are you sure you can make good money outside? In your current condition?"
