Chapter 94 - Get Married Before The End Of The Year (1/2)

”Morning dad,” Mimi greeted her father who was already seated at the dining table before her.

”Morning my beautiful daughter,” the man said with a bright expression, lowering the newspaper he had been reading to get a glimpse of his daughter.

It was quite obvious that Mimi took after the father with her blonde hair and honey eyes. The only thing she inherited from her mother was her great temper.

And speaking of her mother, the woman arrived with a frown.

”I told you no reading of papers at the dining,” The woman set the bowl of food at the table before snatching the papers from her husband who grumbled.

Mimi laughed at the little morning drama, her parents were the best couple she had ever seen out there.

Since she was young, Mimi had never seen her father raise a finger on her mother, and even when they had quarrels, they settled it in their privacy and out of earshot. Her family was a peaceful one.

The love between them was so obvious that oftentimes Arianna had told her he envied her. Her friend Arianna had only grown up with her father before he died, hence she couldn't understand the love between parents. Even her uncle and his wife were not an example of a loving couple.

As an only child, Mimi's parents treasured and treated her as if she was fragile. That was the reason Mimi had not moved out to live alone as a grown-up. They loved her too much.

Honestly, their overprotectiveness can be quite annoying at times which was why Mimi broke out of the bondage at all cost - she doesn't have to inform them of her every move anymore. But that doesn't mean she wasn't still obedient to their orders.

Compared to her father, her mother was stricter and her words were most times the final verdict in the house. Sometimes Mimi couldn't help but wonder how her father was able to live under her. But things worked out between them nonetheless.

Each time Mimi stared at them, she knew that was the kind of future she wanted as well. She would fall in love with a guy that treasures her and would even go to the end of the world for her.

They would have ten children - yeah, that was her plan. As an only child, Mimi understood how lonely it could be. That was even the more reason she and Arianna stuck together like glue; they understood what it felt to be lonely. She would give birth to so many children till her eggs were finished.

After her parents were done with their childish banters, they all settled down and were eating breakfast when her father noticed.

”You're not rushing,”

”Huh?” Mimi was confused.

”Usually, you are always in a hurry to eat so you don't make it late to work,” Her father reminded her.

”Oh,” Mimi said, ”About that, I changed jobs already,”

”You did?” Her mother was now interested and Mimi gulped down saliva. She was the reason why Mimi had not disclosed the news in the first place. Let's just say in this house, there was no room for secrets.

”Yes, I did. A week ago? I think?”

”A week?!” Both mother and father shouted, ”And you didn't care to inform us?”

”It's not that big of a job. I'm still a barista, just in a different setting,” she explained to her best.

”In a different setting such as.....?” her mother's brows were raised which was equivalent to 'we need more information, honey'.

Mimi groaned inwardly, ”I work privately this time. My employer bought me off from my former boss and unlike the other job, I have more free time on my hands to do what I want,” she explained.

But her father groaned, ”Instead of wasting time like this, why not come to my -”

”Daddy,” Mimi cut him off before the end of his sentence.
