Chapter 267

Dad answered the door. When he saw Colin and I standing next to each other by the entrance, there was only one word to describe his look-

His jaw almost fell on the ground as if he had just made a groundbreaking discovery. For once, he forsook the gentility he wore as a teacher and ran toward the kitchen so wildly that his slippers shot across the room. He dragged Mom out.

Mom was holding a cleaning rag in one hånd and a bottle of dishwashing liquid in another. She, too, was rendered speechless by what she saw. Her mouth was agape. Were it not for the pair of glasses, her eyes would have popped out of their sockets.

Seeing the extent of their confusion upon seeing me with another man and understanding how disastrous the consequences could be, I put down everything and explained it to them.

Perhaps I was being too straightforward. Colin stood beside me expectantly while my parents were squirming with embarrassment.

I was befuddled. Couldn’t they just give me a simple yes or no regarding my decision to date Colin? Why were they hesitating?

As the family head, Dad solemnly decided to hold a family meeting for the very first time to discuss my choice to date Colin.

He spared nothing. I blushed, and my ears turned red as he told one story

after another.
