"It's just a long time ago since my last meeting with him." Sheena had to confess to a certain degree.
"A long time of not seeing him wouldn't change what he is." Lena Lim somehow was telling the truth. No matter how time flied away, Evan Hathaway was always the same as before: lazy, mean and selfish man obsessed with gambling.
Sheena could deny many talks of Lena Lim except this one. Lena Lim was right about this. After all, she was the woman knowing him the best.
However, situation seemed to be changing right now, now that selfish man seemed to have done something without Lena's knowledge.
"Lena, would you mind if I ask you some offending questions?" Sheena inquired with a slight serious face.
"Why didn't you leave my father after you figured out he is such an irresponsible man? Do you really love him so much?" Sheena asked. To some extent, she admired Lena's capacity of bearing the situation that she had encountered.
Hearing the word of "love" out of the mouth of Sheena, Lena Lim burst into laughter, "do you really think I could bear all of these things just because the love to Evan Hathaway?"
Deep into Sheena's hear, Sheena knew it wouldn't be so fantastic, after all, she knew her own father wouldn't be so attractive when considering of charms. Evan Hathaway could be anything but excellent.
Sheena didn't know how to sort out the words to describe the conditions for Lena Lim to bear Evan Hathaway, so she was silent and waiting for Lena Lim to continue.
From the expression, Sheena knew Lena Lim was willing to talk with her, maybe it's because she was alone or she didn't think it's something deserving to be covered.
"Kid, marriage wouldn't be something just about love." Lena Lim smiled as a wise man staring at Sheena as a naïve child. "Marriage would include love, tolerance, and desire for the expected future."
"Expected future?" Sheena inquired. She was curious what kind of future that Lena Lim had expected for the future with Evan Hathaway, after all he seemed to not change at all since the very beginning.
"My ex died, after that I've on the tramp as a vagabond. It's your father who had expressed that he would love me forever. Maybe he couldn't give the life that I had been long for, but he had always considered the place I stay as the home. Do you know that kind of feelings?" Sheena didn't believe the love that Lena Lim had claimed until this moment. Lena Lim may be too philistine, but to some extent she did care about Evan Hathaway. At least, she was believing in what Evan Hathaway may have claimed to her. No matter it's a lie or a confession of love.
"What if he changes her love now? what will you do?" Sheena didn't want to be the one pouring the cold water, but she had to ask out. She needs to calculate the influence of the love fair, if what Elsa had said was true.
"Haha, are you kidding me?" Lena Lim burst into laughter, "how could you think of such a joke." Lena Lim looked at Sheena as if Sheena was out of mind. "Do you remember how old he is?"
"But the age doesn't restrain the man's behavior. If a man wants to do it, he would just do it for fun." Sheena couldn't help reminding Lena Lim about such a possibility. Women should never believe a man wouldn't steal the fishy food as a cat.
"Wow, you know men quite thoroughly." Lena Lim was surprised for the maturity of Sheena, she didn't expect Sheena would have such a clean mind in the relationship between man and woman.
"Don't worry, even though some girls may not disgrace his age, he wouldn't be able to do anything at such an age."
Lena Lim waved her hands to refuse the continuing of this topic. "Don't talk about such an impossible case by wasting our time. If you're free, do you want to go shopping with me?" Lena Lim just stood up and invited Sheena.
Sheena shook her head to turn down the invitation, "I still have something to be busy in, please enjoy it yourself."
Shrugging her shoulders, Lena Lim didn't insist and just saw off Sheena.
"Mind your health before taking any actions." Sheena reminded her before leaving. Lena Lim didn't care it but nodded her head to accept the reminding of Sheena. She considered it as a kind of greetings from Sheena since she had taken care of Bryant Hathaway for so long.
"Marriage did help women grown up." Lena Lim sighed when witnessing the leaving back of Sheena disappeared in the turning of the street.
Sheena had went to the recording room of Luis Smith, who had given quite a lot of advice on the singing technique of Sheena. Sheena didn't know whether such trial would end up in good benefits, but she knew the advice from an expert would be helpful enough to guide her to do better in the singing industry.
The recording didn't take long, because it's only five songs that Sheena felt quite comfortable in singing them. Sheena was surprised by the innovation of Luis Smith in the composing and lyrics writing. Before getting any comments from others, Sheena was delighted in the singing of these songs. Luis Smith seemed to have the same feelings, for he had kept laughing in front of the screen when checking the songs.
When Luis Smith was trying to describe the promising future, Sheena didn't intend to depress him with the facts. In such a world driven by entertainments, there were so many singers and actors rushing to step on the stage, and Sheena didn't believe she herself would just be successful as expected just by singing these songs. More would be required for the expected results.
"You seem to not believe in me." Luis Smith seemed to capture the thoughts of Sheena and just inquired for confession.
