A child they had watched grow up was now suddenly sitting in their living room talking about marriage and even telling them not to worry.
Anyone would find that unsettling.
And more importantly, they were his elders.
Yet somehow his presence was so overpowering that he lounged comfortably in his seat while they were the ones left standing.
Edwin seemed to realize this and casually gestured toward the sofa across from him.
“Please, both of you, sit. There’s no need to be so formal with me.”
“Is… is that appropriate?”
Michelle asked instinctively.
Charles nudged her arm, warning her to stop talking like that.
In the end, he guided Michelle to sit opposite Edwin, both of them visibly tense.
“Edwin… are you sure you didn’t misspeak?” Charles asked cautiously. “You know who my daughter is. If you suddenly come here to propose, did you at least talk to her about it first?”
“There’s no need for her consent.”
The moment he said that, Michelle nearly exploded.
She shot back immediately, “She’s my daughter. How could she get married without her own consent? Do you think that makes any sense?”
“And she’s the person this whole matter revolves around. If she doesn’t even know what’s happening, how on earth is she supposed to marry anyone smoothly?”
Even after finishing, Michelle’s chest was still rising and falling sharply.
Yes, she was afraid of Edwin—anyone would be. But when it came to her daughter’s happiness, she refused to back down.
No matter what, Yvonne was her only child. She couldn’t just stand by and watch her fall into a fire pit.
If her daughter truly loved Edwin, she would compromise.
