Chapter 107

Jocelyn had barely set foot inside her parents’ home when she spotted her dad, Calvin, inspecting a box in the living room with a childlike curiosity.

“What’s all this?” she asked when she dropped her bag by the door

“Probably not until the winter holidays, she mused.

Jocelyn laughed shyly

From the sidelines, Calvin and Daisy watched their daughter with growing contentment. They couldn’t help but feel reassured.

As parents, their only wish was for their children to find a loving partner who would cherish them and provide warmth and comfort

“Young people today crave freedom, Calvin said once Jocelyn had hung up. “But with the right person, freedom comes naturally.”

Catching her parents’ knowing looks, Jocelyn teased. “Stop that. You’re scaring me.”
