What?

Olivia was stunned when she saw the message. Their parents had their first meeting the previous day and they wanted to plan a wedding already?

Do people still do that in the modern day?

She replied to Brenda as thoughts went through her mind.

"Mom, people don't do this anymore. Is it really necessary?"

When Brenda saw the message, she called immediately.

"What do you mean? Everyone has to have their birth dates checked before getting married. You have to do it as well."

Olivia curled her lips when she heard her mother's voice. "Isn't this something that was done in the past? It was only needed because arranged marriage was the norm. What if our fates clash and our birth dates are not meant for each other? Does it mean that we will have to break up?"

Brenda answered without any doubt, "That's right."

Olivia's expression darkened.

"I am not giving you his birth date."

Brenda replied, "Silly girl, do you think you are my only source? Do you know how desperate Sam's mother wishes for you to be her daughter-in-law? I am sure she will pass it to me immediately if I ask her." "Okay, then go ahead. Ask her. I couldn't care less if our birth dates clash with each other. I believe fate is in my hands."

Brenda was frustrated after hearing Olivia's statement. She started lecturing her over the phone. Olivia got really annoyed towards the end and decided to hang up without any warning.
