Meeting You Was Fate

There were only eight days left. When the due time arrived, everything would be over. Mandy embraced herself in her heart. She reassured her soul that at that time, everything would be fine.

"Well, Mand. I trust you with all my heart and soul! Don't worry about this. I'll talk to your mother. After I talk to her, you can come home to have dinner with us in a couple of days. Your mother could not eat well or sleep well these last few days because of this. She cares about you very much," Stanley comforted Mandy gently. Mandy's father, Stanley, could not resist his daughter being so greatly disconcerted.

Hearing this, tears of guilt welled up in Mandy's eyes. She realized in this very moment that in this brutal world it's only her parents who loved her unreservedly. During these days, when she was living in Nathan's house, Mandy felt profoundly grieved for her parents. She lied to them and miserably failed to live up to their expectations of being an honest daughter. However, she had no other choice but to make a deal with Nathan to save her father. Undoubtedly, this deal was like the forbidden fruit in Eden, threatening yet alluring to her. She could not foresee her future with Nathan. Indeed, it's more appropriate to say she had not imagined that she would ever have a future with Nathan.

"Okay, I understand! Thank you, Father. It's late now. I'm going now. I'll come to see you again, some other day. Take care, goodbye!" Mandy was reluctant to leave her father, but she had to bid him farewell now. Mandy put her bag over her shoulder, stood up from the sofa, and curved her lips to give a forced smile to her father.

"Okay, drive carefully," responded Stanley.

With mixed feelings, Mandy walked out of the Zhou Group. She always knew that her father was the only support she had in her entire life. As a matter of fact, who else could have her back more than her dad? She was well aware of why her mother was so annoyed with her. The mere reason for such frustration was that Madeline had great expectations for her. Mandy was horrified that she had displeased her family's faith in her. She had never thought in her wildest dreams that one day, she would let her parents down.
