Chapter 39 Jonathan Has A Girlfriend?

Emilia couldn’t believe what she was hearing Jon has a girlfriend?”

Her initial shock quickly turned into embarrassment, but she quickly regained her composure and adopted a more mature attitude.

“You’re back,” she said coldly as Angela entered the room.

Angela, trying to ease the tension, forced a smile and explained, “Yes, Grandma. I came back because I didn’t have classes today.”

Marilyn, the elderly lady chatting with Emilia, noticed Angela and expressed genuine surprise. “Oh, this is Angela. She’s really beautiful.”

Angela greeted her with a friendly smile. “Nice to meet you, Ma’am.”

“I heard you’re a university student. That’s really impressive, Marilyn praised. “My son isn’t so good. He gets a headache whenever he reads, so he started working early.”

Emilia, with her old–fashioned views, couldn’t resist making a sarcastic remark. “What can a girl achieve? Angela, you might as well find a good man and get married early. You’re young, so you can find a good

man.”

Emilia, a woman from the countryside with traditional thoughts, had been brought over by Donald and his wife after her husband passed away. Even her cousin’s quick marriage after graduation involved Emilia Thinking about this, Angela laughed nonchalantly, “Grandma, it’s not that I’m against marriage, but come on, I’m not even 20 yet. Breaking the law isn’t exactly on my to–do list. Going to jail doesn’t sound like a fun adventure, does it?”

Without waiting for Emilia’s response, she excused herself, claiming she had other things to attend to, and headed upstairs.

Emilia stood there in momentary shock, and her expression shifted through several colder shades.

Having lived in her son–in–law’s house for years, she was used to being the elder with the final say. This backtalk was a rarity!

“She’s so stubborn!”

Marilyn, standing nearby, felt a bit uneasy but then considered that Angela did make a valid point.

University students should prioritize their studies, and many get married after graduation.

Moreover, it was a law set by the state. Could there be an issue with the state’s regulations?

As the saying goes, educated people tend to have logical arguments.

Marilyn thought Angela was pretty smart. She turned to console the upset Emilia, saying. “Emilia, I think she has a point. Angela is young, and marriage isn’t something she needs to worry about right now. Plus, she seems quite respectful. She greeted you politely and treated you as an elder.”
