Randy Ziel's face went slightly red, then he urged Jaylene, "It's late now. You should go wash up and rest. You still have work tomorrow, don't you?"
Seeing her father about to leave the room, Jaylene hesitated for a moment and then called out, "Dad..."
Randy stopped mid-step, turned around, and looked at her with a questioning gaze, "Anything else?"
"Um… Joseph Thompson said he wants to get engaged to me." Jaylene finally mustered the courage to speak.
She and Joseph were already together, but her father was rather traditional and usually hoped that she would return home after work.
And Joseph, he always wished to spend more time with her, but since she wasn't engaged to him yet, there was always a feeling of improbability when they were together, giving people the impression that they were secretive.
