"Don't you Chinese people have a saying, 'With perseverance, even gold and rock can break'? As long as we work hard together, she'll agree one day." On the other end of the phone, the typically domineering man spoke with calm indulgence, "Ivana, don't worry, I've got this!"
Hearing the man's calm voice, Ivana's mood began to settle, bit by bit.
Even if her mother didn't agree, it was because she loved her. If she knew that they were truly in love, she would definitely agree.
"There's still some time before evening, take a good rest for now. We'll meet later."
"Okay, you should rest too."
Ivana hung up the phone and lay down on the bed. Having been on the plane for over ten hours, she was indeed exhausted. But as she laid her head on the pillow, she couldn't get to sleep.
She tossed and turned for a long time before she finally fell into a drowsy sleep.
Unbeknownst to her, several hours had passed.
