The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

Chapter 169

Calvin was finally checking out of the hospital, and Melvin was the one who had come to pick him up. Instead of heading straight home, they decided to grab a bite at a local diner.

It wasn’t until they arrived that they discovered Uncle Hank, Aunt Mae, and Quinta were all there too.

Quinta revealed that it was Melvin who had called them, inviting them over for the weekend. He had even arranged & ride for them, knowing they might have trouble getting there.

These thoughtful arrangements genuinely touched Calvin and Daisy.

Daisy had called Uncle Hank when Calvin fell ill, and although he had wanted to visit right away, Daisy insisted it wasn’t necessary. After all, there was no real danger, and they could visit later when things settled down.

But now, with the siblings reunited, there was a palpable sense of relief.

Melvin got the waitstaff to start serving up a feast – dishes rich in flavor and aroma, including a few special selections made just for Calvin’s palate.

Uncle Hank and Aunt Mae watched Melvin’s careful arrangements with appreciative eyes.

Melvin excused himself to take a phone call, and that’s when Aunt Mae couldn’t help but compliment him, “Jocelyn, you’ve got great taste. Such a considerate and sensible boyfriend.”

Although Daisy had already accepted Melvin by heart, still she didn’t show it on face. “You can’t tell. People change after marriage.”

Quinta lowered her head when Daisy said that.

Jocelyn quickly glanced at her mother, and Daisy immediately realized her mistake. “Quinta, darling, I didn’t mean you.”

“It’s okay, Aunt Daisy. You’re not wrong,” Quinta said fully at ease. “Relationships could only be tested by time. People can pretend for a while, and it’s true that some show a different face before and after marriage. It’s better to take more time to see before making any promise.”

Daisy looked at Jocelyn and sighed, “At the end of the day, it’s their lives. They make their choices, walk their paths, and face their consequences.”

“Yes,” Aunt Mae chimed in, “Young folks these days don’t see marriage as a life-or-death matter like we did. They prioritize feelings. They split or divorce at the slightest discord whenever it doesn’t feel right. Not like our times – we married and we stuck it out.”

Every parent wishes for a happy marriage for their children. But times change and society evolves, and young people are more open-minded and less inclined to stick to unsatisfactory marriages. So why fret over something out of your control? As long as they’re not wearing themselves out, let them be.
