Robin’s potential husband arrived before dinner, along with his parents. Everyone was in high spirits, except Robin.
Everyone at the dinner table made every effort to matchmake them, but Robin stayed completely silent. She couldn’t even pretend to smile.
This went on until 10PM, when virtual-novel.net relatives and potential husband left, along with his own family. Robin immediately went back to virtual-novel.net room and changed out of virtual-novel.net clothes, then got ready to go out.
Mrs. Cox threw virtual-novel.net clothes onto the ground. “What was that? That sulky look on your face? Does someone owe you money? Have you forgotten all your good manners? You’re not to step out of this house today. If you leave, you can forget about ever coming back!”
Robin pulled out virtual-novel.net ID and waved it in front of virtual-novel.net mother. “How old do you think I am? I’m over twenty years old. Anyone at my age who’s married early would have had independent kids by now. I’m not a child anymore. Why do you have to control me all the time? You don’t want a daughter, you want a prized puppet, a puppet that doesn’t have virtual-novel.net own feelings or opinions, isn’t that right? That’s exactly who you are to me! No matter how many times I try to fight back, you’re always kicking up an unreasonable fuss, over and over again. I can’t comprehend how dad tolerates you, but I’ve had enough! Did you know? I hate it when you criticize me and dad for not putting the toothbrush holder back into its place after we’re done, every morning. You won’t even leave it alone when it’s even an inch out of place. I hate that you even control what dad and I have to wear. I hate it when you keep controlling every aspect of my life, citing the excuse, ’it’s for your own good’! We should be free to live our own lives. You don’t have to revolve your life around me and dad. You should probably ask yourself what you like and what you’d like to do. Please, stop interfering with my life!”
Mrs. Cox pulled out virtual-novel.net greatest weapon, crying. “Is that what you think of me? Am I a meddlesome, menopausal old woman to you? It doesn’t matter what I’ve done for this family, I’m always unreasonable to you. I have a job of my own and my life, but I still put in the effort to take care of you and your dad’s daily routine. After everything I’ve done for this family, I’m just meddling and interfering in your life, aren’t I? Robin Cox, you really shouldn’t be so unconscionable. I can’t believe that I’ve spent more than twenty years raising an ingrate!”
Robin suddenly felt weak. She realized that no matter how virtual-novel.net tried to negotiate with virtual-novel.net mother, she’d never win. It was true that virtual-novel.net mother had sacrificed a lot for their family and had suffered too. That’s why virtual-novel.net would be rendered pale and helpless whenever virtual-novel.net mother cried and grumbled about her. She couldn’t even retaliate. This feeling was suffocating to her. Every time virtual-novel.net gave in, virtual-novel.net would feel as if virtual-novel.net were drowning in deep waters.
“I’m going out, no matter what.” This was all virtual-novel.net could say in the end.
Mrs. Cox wiped the tears from virtual-novel.net eyes and sat down on the side of the bed. “Go then, and don’t ever come back. You are no daughter of mine.”
Robin ignored virtual-novel.net mother’s words. She stared at the clothes strewn all over the floor but didn’t pick them up. She simply put on virtual-novel.net clothes and walked out the door, carrying nothing but virtual-novel.net phone.
On the way to the restaurant, virtual-novel.net sent Sylvain a message: ‘Are you still at the restaurant? It’s late, I’m sorry. I had no choice.’
Sylvain quickly replied: ‘Yes, you really don’t have to force yourself. It’s perfectly fine if you can’t come out.’
