Chapter 129

Calvin and Daisy’s fondness for Harrison was palpable. In their eyes, Harrison had already become their future son-in-law, and an excellent one at that.

How many men would change jobs just because their partner asked, or move cities to be with the one they love? It showed a deep level of care and commitment to their daughter

To welcome Harrison. Calvin and Daisy had prepared a feast and made sure none of the dishes were spicy, catering to Harrison’s sensitive stomach.

“Jocelyn, you’ve got to treat Harrison well,” Daisy urged her daughter. “He’s come all this way to be with you, to adapt to your way of life. Guys like him are rare these days. Don’t take him for granted, take good care of him”

The saying goes that a mother-in-law finds her son-in law more endearing over time.

Daisy, not yet a mother-in-law, already treated him as if he were her own son.

Hamson, not wanting Jocelyn to struggle for a response, chimed in with a laugh, “Daisy, I’m a grown man. I don’t need anyone to take care of me.”

“Even grown men need a little looking after, Daisy responded. And don’t you spoil Jocelyn too much. Her dad has pampered her since she was a lot. I’m afraid she might walk all over you.”

“Mom!” Jocelyn was at a loss for words. “Where are you going with this?”

“I just mean that since you two are in love and planning a life together, neither of you should spoil the other too much or take things too far In a relationship, it’s all about mutual understanding and tolerance. And don’t be afraid of a little argument here and there. A good tiff shows you’re really living life together. It would be abnormal if you never fought at all

As Daisy went on and on. Jocelyn apologetically glanced at Harmson.

But Harrison was thoroughly engaged, nodding along and even agreeing with Daisy’s points.

In an unspoken understanding, neither Harrison nor Jocelyn revealed to the old couple that they had already broken up. It was to keep their parents’ minds at ease and to avoid the pressure of mamage
