I really don’t want our family to keep arguing all the time.“As the saying goes, harmony brings prosperity,”Michelle echoed from the side.Watching her parents sitting together so happily, Yvonne felt momentarily dazed.It felt like she had not seen them this happy in a very long time.Lately, their household seemed to be caught in constant arguments.Every time she met them, it was either questioning or fighting. Thinking about it now, Yvonne felt puzzled.Their family used to be just like this—peaceful and harmonious. When did it turn into a house full of conflict, where everyone seemed perpetually resentful?She had never really noticed when it started to become this way.Yet now, they were able to sit together and talk calmly. Why hadn’t that been possible before?“Mom, Dad, isn’t it better when our family stays like this—peaceful and close?”
Was Yvonne’s remark a bit too much?Especially after feeling her daughter’s embrace, Michelle felt even more at a loss.It was her first time experiencing such an intimate gesture, and she did not quite know how to respond.In the end, it was Charles who reacted first, pulling his daughter into a big hug.At the same time, he wrapped an arm around his wife, never forgetting her contribution to the family.His wife mattered most. Otherwise, how could he have such a lovely daughter?“Alright, alright. You’re one of the most important people in this family. Of course, my wife comes first, and you come second.”Yvonne deliberately pouted.“Fine, fine. I get it—you two have the best relationship. I’ll step aside, alright?”She said it on purpose, sounding mock-jealous.But deep down, she felt comforted. After all, parents getting along well was a blessing for their children.Some families were simply unmentionable. They never considered how their children felt, caring only about their own p
Yvonne might not have thought about this before, but after realizing it, she had been acting on it all along.Michelle also noticed the look in her daughter’s eyes.Even though she still had many reservations, things had already reached this point, leaving her feeling cornered.Even if she did not agree, there was no turning back now. It was already too late.Sure enough, Michelle let out a deep sigh and finally said irritably,“You father and daughter are clearly working together here. Even if I don’t agree, what can I do about it?”Yvonne quickly replied, “You’re my mom. What you say still matters. No matter what, I’ll always listen to your opinion.”When Yvonne said this, her face was full of sincerity.She had always felt that she was a child who respected her parents.She did not know why, lately, her parents thought she had become rebellious.That was never who she was. She had simply developed her own ideas recently and wanted to act on them.Yvonne had realized that life was tr
The couple exchanged glances again and again, each wondering who should be the one to speak up and tell their daughter not to pursue this path.But no matter how they thought about it, any suggestion they made seemed unfair to Yvonne.She had already endured so much since coming into this world.If, at this point, they still refused to let her chase what she wanted, was that really fair to her?Just thinking about it filled them with regret.In the end, Charles met Yvonne’s eyes and spoke plainly, “You are my daughter. If there’s something you want to do, then go for it without fear.”Yvonne froze in place. She never expected him to say something like that. Even Michelle beside him was taken aback by his words.After all, she was their own child. Why should they care so much about what others thought?When Charles noticed his wife’s stunned look, he spoke again in a reassuring tone. “Alright. She’s already grown. As parents, it’s time we learned to let go.“Besides, she’s never caused
It could even be said that it never existed at all—it was entirely Yvonne’s wishful thinking.But how could parents possibly say something like that outright?No matter what, Yvonne’s original intention was not malicious. Wanting to climb higher would, in fact, benefit the family as well.If she truly succeeded, it would be an enormous boost for their household.Their family was doing well now, but it always felt like something was missing.For instance, they had their own circles abroad, yet back home, almost no one recognized them.Every time this crossed his mind, her father felt unsettled. It was a lingering regret and an old knot in his heart.He never mentioned it to anyone. Even though he felt his daughter’s actions lowered her dignity somewhat, he never stopped her.After all, success would benefit both families.More importantly, it would be an undeniable advantage to his own business. If he stood to gain from his daughter’s efforts, what right did he have to criticize her?Ju
“Not only did I have their support, I also had a huge fan base. Asking me to go back to how things were before everything changed—how could I possibly accept that?”Her parents slightly parted their lips, momentarily at a loss for words.In truth, they understood their daughter’s feelings.Too many things had happened recently. All they wanted was for Yvonne to stay safely by their side.Other than that, they hoped she would do nothing at all.But that did seem unfair to Yvonne.After all, she had always worked, and her career was well known to the public.Everyone also knew that she and Lucas did share a past. If they cut off her chance to work just like that, it would indeed be cruel to her.Michelle and Charles exchanged a look, both unsure of what to do.After all, their daughter was not something to be locked away or sheltered like a fragile ornament—she was meant to live her own life, not be kept under glass.Some matters still had to be resolved by her alone.More importantly, s
