“Do you believe she possesses the qualifications to pursue a career in singing?” Jayden posed the chilly question.

Lanny, masking his disapproval with a forced smile, replied, “No, I’m afraid not. Perhaps her path lies in marriage, becoming someone’s housewife.”

Glenda, her frustration evident, shot Jayden a venomous glare. Jayden, ever observant, noted the shift in Glenda’s gaze and playfully remarked, “It appears your wife disagrees.”
