Meanwhile, Thea finally returned to her hotel room after spending a whole day with her parents.

“Mom, this is the hotel Kenneth arranged for you. He said that you two could stay as long as you like, and he wants you to be comfortable,” she said with a smile.

Her father, Harry Jarman, let out a huff. “There is no meaning in such superficial efforts. He didn’t even turn up when we said we would buy him a meal.”

“He’s busy, Dad,” Thea tried to intercede.

“Is he so busy that he can’t even find time to have a meal?” Harry gazed at his daughter with disappointment. “What on earth is going on between you and Kenneth? How much has your relationship progressed?”

After hearing his question, Thea lowered her head and fell silent.

“Well, would you look at that? You always clam up when I ask this. What exactly is Kenneth thinking? Is he planning to give you a proper title?” Harry was so furious that he started yelling.

Thea’s mother, Caroline, immediately approached him. “All right, that’s enough. Aren’t you tired? Hurry and go take a shower. Stop worrying about our daughter’s relationship.”

“I…”

“What? What could you do about it?”

“Fine, fine. I’ll stop talking.” Harry did not dare to go against Caroline. He shot a final glance at Thea before heading to the bathroom.

Caroline gazed at Thea and sighed. “It’s okay. Your father just wants the best for you.”

“I know that, Mom…” Thea replied dejectedly.

Just then, Caroline pulled her onto the couch. “Just like your father, I would like to ask you the same question as well. What is going on between you and Kenneth?”

“Mom—”

“You’re not getting out of this. You must tell me the truth,” Caroline cut her off and said.

After thinking for a moment, Thea opened her mouth. “We… We haven’t broached the subject yet.”
