Madam Merina looked at the innocent girl beside her with a serious look. He really did not like the girl his son chose, "Ami ... "
Amira turned her head and saw the sharp glare thrown at her. Madame Thalia sighed softly before continuing her words.
" … You'd better break up with Vincent" he asked the girl.
The girl's eyes were round as if in disbelief at her hearing, "Ma-I mean Auntie?" said Amira stammered. He did not expect Madame Thalia to show such obvious dislike towards him, not even giving him a chance to get to know himself further.
"Tante is honest with you. Actually today Auntie wants to match Vincent with a more beautiful and great girl. Well well ... of course have the same degree as the Zhang Family," said Mrs Thalia who was reluctant to tell her the real reason she did not approve of Amira's relationship with her son. Actually if not for Merina, maybe he could accept this girl in front of him as his son's future wife, but the truth is not.
Amira was speechless listening to the words that came out of her mother Vincent's lips. His eyes began to get wet, but he held it back.
"Well even though Lin Corp isn't that bad either, but it can't help the Royal Group, can it? You understand what I mean, Ami?" ms. Thalia again.
Amira just nodded in response. The girl knew that neither she nor her family could help Vincent or the Royal Group at this time.
"It's good that you understand" said Mrs Thalia relieved.
"But Auntie .. I won't break up with Vincent!" amira said firmly and ventured to look at her lover's mother sharply.
"You!" Lady Thalia's face changed, she looked at Amira cynically.
"Sorry, I don't want to be disrespectful, but Auntie may have misjudged me. I'm not the woman Auntie thinks I am. I really love Vincent for who he is" said Amira, who thinks Mrs Thalia doesn't like him because she just wants to take advantage of Vincent.
"Hahahaha .. love you said?" taunted Nonya Thalia.
"Your relationship with my son is only a corn, do you deserve to say you love him? I think that after you broke up with her, my son may never remember or know you again" Ms Thalia said coldly and disparaged Amira's relationship with her son. She considers her son to be seeking only temporary pleasure, as her husband had done to her.
Madam Thalia's face turned dark and cold. He really does not like to be denied, especially by the daughter of the woman he hates.
"As far as you! I hope you didn't mess up the matchmaking tonight, if you really love my son, you should think about his future instead of just thinking about yourself!" said Mrs Thalia cynical.
"As you know, the girl I'm going to marry today is someone who means a lot in Vincent's life. I want to see if Vincent will choose you or that girl" Thalia said.
Amira was silent and stared. His mind guerrilla thinking of the figure of the woman called by Mrs Thalia. Moreover, Lady Thalia said so confidently. Amira's guts that had been blazing, immediately became shrivelled to hear it.
"Let's get out. I don't want my son and his future wife waiting downstairs" Thalia said, cold and piercing as a dagger plunged into Amira's heart. He immediately got up from his seat and walked to the doorway.
Amira also immediately stood up from her seat and followed Lady Thalia. He walked behind her. Suddenly while in front of the stairs, Lady Thalia's steps stopped and turned her head while displaying her most beautiful smile to Amira.
"You can see with your own eyes now. What did I say right or wrong? Please judge it" said Mrs Thalia, pointing downstairs.
Amira lowered her face and rounded her eyes in disbelief seeing her lover was hugging a woman so beautiful and graceful. The woman has a very attractive appearance with an almost perfect body and legs that level like a model. The tears that he had been holding back from earlier spilled and flowed down his cheeks.
Lady Thalia saw the sad look on Amira's face, she smiled, "You better wash your face, you don't want Vincent to see you like this," mrs Thalia said as she left Amira and came down to greet her guest of honor.
Amira only sees a piece of the final scene without knowing the true events ….
Flashback a few days ago.
After meeting his father, Vincent waits for Amira and his mother in the living room. He did not want to disturb the closeness of the two women at this time. He hopes his mother can accept well the girl of her own choice.
Vincent crossed his legs and leaned his back against the luxurious and elegant sofa with carvings in the back of it. He pulled out his phone while checking incoming emails that he had not read.
Not long in, Alfred entered and invited some guests invited by his master to the mansion for the night. Vincent, who was still reading, did not notice the presence of the guest until a woman's voice greeted him.
"Vin .." call the woman.
Vincent turned his face and saw a beautiful woman standing in front of him, Evangeline Mo. Eva smiled softly and approached Vincent who was already standing from his seat. He came with his parents, Jonathan Mo and Vanessa Lu.
"Om, Auntie," said Vincent to Eva's parents. They nodded and smiled.
"How are you, son Vincent?" ask Jonathan Mo.
"Well, Om," said Vincent.
"What's the need for Om to come here?" ask Vincent who is astonished by the arrival of Eva and her parents at this time.
"We were invited with Aunt Thalia" Eva replied with a smile, although she was surprised that Vincent did not know why they had come tonight. Vincent just nodded slowly.
'What's so weird, Mama, why don't you say it?' inner Vincent.
Vincent invites Mr and Mrs Mo to sit on the sofa, as well as Eva. But when Eva was about to walk to her seat, a waitress who would serve drinks to the guests accidentally nudged Eva's back, making Eva's body bulge forward.
"Kyaaa .." screamed Eva who almost fell.
Vincent quickly catches Eva's body, so Eva's face falls right on Vincent's chest. Vincent's arm pulled Eva's waist down so that she could stand steady, but instead made herself hug the woman by accident.
Eva looked up at Vincent who was helping her right now. The look of their eyes met. Eva's heart was pounding fast getting the gaze of the man who had filled her days once. It was undeniable that he still held the same feeling in his heart, but he knew that the man already did not have the same feelings towards him. But he still hoped, this man in front of him could turn to him again.
Unlike Vincent who just stared at Eva flat, there was not the slightest feeling that flashed in his heart. He only considers Eva as a friend at this time.
