"You got married?" Julian was the first in the group chat to reply.

Phil texted after him, "That's fast."

At least, it was Ezra, "Congratulations! You guys will be parents soon."

Before Arthur said anything, Phil was annoyed by Ezra's words. "Ezra, did you say that on purpose?"

Ezra knew how much he wanted a child, but here he was, talking about Arthur and Jean becoming parents.

He didn't know since when Ezra had grown a sharp tongue. He always poked them where they hurt.

"Of course not. I was just blessing them," Ezra explained calmly.

Phil didn't buy it at all and texted back, "Although I do want a child, I'm not in a rush. Look at you, now that Arthur has gotten married, you are the only one single here."

"I don't want marriage and you all know it. I don't feel anything at all," Ezra replied at ease.

"You are just bluffing. When you meet someone you really love, you will feel things," Phil replied to Ezra, who then said nothing more.

After dinner, Phil offered to wash the dishes while Jean was face timing with her mother. She told Selina about her marriage to Arthur on the phone, Selina was surprised at first, and then her eyes reddened.

Selina said with guilt, "Did you do it to get back at your dad? To make him stop quarreling with me?"

Jean admitted frankly, "It's part of the reason. I want him to stop meddling in my marriage. In that case, you won't have to argue with him all day long."

She then continued, "But the more important reason is that I love Arthur. I want to marry him and spend the rest of my life with him."
