Her face twisted into a frown. “It’s fine. I can sleep in the living room or anywhere else. I don’t want to disturb his rest.”

Jason silently placed the bowl on the nearby table and respectfully bowed to Sean before walking out of the room. He was even kind enough to close the door behind him as he left.

He waited outside the door for a few minutes, listening in on what was going on inside before softly laughing and pulling out his phone.

As he whispered into the phone, he quietly tip-toed down the stairs.

“Good news, Madam. Mr. Sean has just brought home a beautiful girl. They are in his room right now,” he said.

The elderly woman on the other end of the call shrieked. “What? Jason, what did you say? Say it once more!”

“No! This won’t do. I should take care of this myself!”

Just as she said that, a man’s voice could be heard booming from her end of the call. “To do what? He hasn’t even proposed! If Sean really has a

girlfriend, he would tell us.”

“What do you know? Sean is always so proud and moody. What if he scares th girl off because I’m not there to keep an eye on him?”

Every time she introduced a potential date to Sean, he would always act like they were just children to him and refused to respond to a single comment they made. Watching them interact was enough to make her panic.
