Chapter 60 - Dating Someone (1/2)
”I was thinking.” Lena paused before continuing. ”That I should get a place for myself.”
Shen Mao and Shen Milli's smile dropped. ”Why?” They both responded.
”Don't you think I am a bit too old to still be living with my parents?”
”Ridiculous. You can stay here until you get married. And even after marriage, you can still stay here!” Shen Mao spoke.
”How am I supposed to get married if he has to come to see me every time here?”
”Andy visited you fine!”
”That was because he had always done that before. Any other outsider would feel uncomfortable with mom and you always eavesdropping.”
”No future son-in-law of mine would feel uncomfortable.” Shen Mao replied sternly, ignoring the eavesdropping comment. He and his wife were curious folks. They had not been much cautious of the men Lena hung out with when she was with Andy, but the situation has changed now.
Shen Milli could tell that Shen Mao was being stubborn to let his daughter move out. ”So you are really seeing someone?” Shen Milli interrupted the conversation.
”Mom! I already told you I am not.”
”Mhm… Just make sure you use protection.”
”AHHH!!” Lena covered her face with her hands. 'When did this conversation turned to this! Henry is right there too! This is so embarrassing.'
”Whyyy? Henry is family too. No need to be shy.”
Lena got up from her seat to leave.
”Are you done eating already?” Shen Milli felt sad that she was teasing her daughter too much.
”I am not hungry.” Lena left the table. She was too embarrassed from the conversation to keep eating.
”You--” Shen Milli stopped her husband from saying anything as Lena left.
”Let her go.” She spoke. ”You should have let her get her own place in the first place.”
”Me? You are the one that made her leave…” Both of them sweetly argued, not observing that Henry also silently left the table.
Henry head up to Lena's room to make sure she was alright. He knocked on the door twice before Lena opened it.
”It's you again.” Lena responded.
”Are you not going to invite me in?”
Lena rolled her eyes. Henry forced his way in anyways. ”What is it?” Lena asked.
”You know your parents are just really worried about you. Any parents would want their kids to get married and settle down.”
