There He Is Again My Ex Husband by Emily Jenkins

Sylvie's dad came to them with the tea he had just made, and he said calmly, "It's a good thing to start a relationship with the purpose of marrying the other, but whether that will work out really depends on whether the two are right for each other."

"Marriage is no kidding. It's not just between the two, but the two families."

Compared to her mother's excitement, her dad was obviously much chiller, and the first thing he did was to dampen Lucien's enthusiasm for the idea of marriage.

Having sensed the typical hostility from any would-be father-in-law, Lucien rose, accepted the tea respectfully with a gentle smile, and said, "Sure, you're right. Time will tell."

Time would prove his love for Sylvie and that they were made for each other.

The father was satisfied with his answer, thinking that the young man was sophisticated and stable, and should also be even-tempered and easy to be around with.

For a second there, he had already made a rough mental analysis of Lucien's character based on his many years of experience in dealing with people. He kind of liked him and would get to know him better.

Sylvie was the couple's only child, although they were not rich, they had raised the daughter like a treasure, so what he demanded of her future husband was to treat her well.

If her daughter couldn't find such a man, that would be fine.

She didn't necessarily have to get married or have babies, or reconcile herself to any man.

So the father didn't show much interest in Lucien, sharing the belief with his daughter that they didn't necessarily have to end up together forever.

A while after the four had sipped the tea, Sylvie proposed, "Well, let's eat already. I'm starving."

The mother soon rose to her feet, with embarrassment, she said, "Oh, we have the lunch ready and we were waiting for you to have it with us. Now that Lucien's here, but I just kept talking and forgot about it."
