[Chapter 224]
Celia felt even worse when Mindy was being so thoughtful and sensible.
She would have preferred that Mindy had criticized her as she initially did. She also knew how hard it had been for her mom all these years to allow their family to live a good life.
However, she could not get over David.
It had been three years, and they had never met since, but she still could not get over him.
She still remembered the profile of David's face when he had saved her.
Feelings were not something you could control.
Did she not have people pursuing her in university?
She did!
Many!
There were so many of them!
Top universities like Greenwood University gathered elites and talents from all over the country and even the world. There were also people so much better than Joshua.
However, she had no feelings for them!
When Celia found out David was coming to Capital city in the morning, her heart had beaten faster, and her blood flowed faster.
"Mom! I know how hard you've worked over the years! I also know you want what's best for me! But I really can't get over David!" Celia cried as she hugged Mindy.
"It's alright. It's alright! Let's meet David first!" Mindy consoled as she patted Celia on the back.
It seemed that she could only start with David. The best solution was to let David know the difference between them and have him back off himself.
Jon seemed helpless.
His wife was competitive and liked to compete with others. She was jealous of her best friends and classmates driving luxury cars and living in mansions, so she insisted on doing business. In the end, she even blamed it on him.
His salary was not high, but it was enough for his family to live a comfortable life in Capital City, and there was a lot of room for improvement.
Why did she speak as if it was not enough to put food in their mouth?
Although he had did not offer any substantial help to her job, her business would not have gone so easy if he did not have his current position.
Did she think money fell from the sky?
Oh! However, these years had indeed been a little hard for her. Despite her pride, the father and daughter benefited too.
In reality, he genuinely could not afford a luxury car and mansion on his current salary.
The mother and daughter hugged for quite some time.
Seeing that Celia had calmed down, Mindy asked, "Celia, what's David up to now?"
"He's attending South River University in South River Province!" replied Celia.
"South River University's not bad either. At least it's one of the top ten universities in the country! How often do you see each other when you're so far away?" Mindy asked again.
Celia figured she could not tell the truth now.
If her parents found out that she had not even started dating David, she would never get a chance.
Since her parents thought she and David had moved in together, so be it!
What had been done could not be undone. She could force them to agree in this way.
