As she pushed her thoughts aside, Amelia Lee invited Finn Lewis, who had changed into slippers, into the living room. After he settled on the sofa, Finn quickly handed over the tea leaves he had brought: “Auntie, I brought two boxes of health tea, they’re good for the body.” Finn didn’t go into too much detail and seeing just two boxes of tea, Amelia didn’t think it was anything valuable and accepted them with a smile: “I’ll gladly take it.”

“Little Lewis, where is your family from?” Once settled, Amelia got straight to the point.

“Mum, at least let him have a drink first. You’re not conducting a census here,” Kay Lee said, slightly embarrassed.

“It’s okay, it’s okay, Auntie, my family is from the Manchester area,” Finn quickly replied.

“Hello City?” Amelia asked with a smile.

“No, Bayan Nur City,” Finn responded with a laugh.

“Oh, what do your parents do?” Amelia continued to inquire.

“My parents are currently in Hello City, not currently working. They haven’t had much education, so finding an easy job is challenging, but I don’t want them doing anything too strenuous. My company is now on the right track, so I don’t want them to suffer unnecessarily,” Finn said straightforwardly without hiding anything.

Amelia couldn’t help but take a moment to appreciate Finn’s candour. Few people could comfortably admit their parents’ lack of education. It would either require an incredibly open personality or a great deal of confidence and self-assurance. But many people, even those who possess both traits, wouldn’t openly admit it because they value their pride.

“Alright, I didn’t mean anything by it. It’s your life, I won’t interfere. But you must understand the industry Kay works in. There are all sorts of gossip in the entertainment industry, especially online. I hope if you come across anything you shouldn’t, you’d clarify the situation before reacting,” Amelia couldn’t help but remind him.

Finn understood all too well what Amelia was referring to. After nodding his acknowledgement, he reassured her: “Don’t worry, Auntie. I know what rumors are.”

Having gotten off to a good start, Finn felt a weight lift off his shoulders. He lingered at Amelia’s home for a while longer before it was time for dinner. Only then did Kay emerge from her room, “Auntie, Kay, I’ll wait for you in the car.” Finn knew Amelia and Kay must have things to discuss privately, so he tactfully excused himself.

Sure enough, Amelia did not try to stop him. Only after he had left did Kay nervously say, “Mom, you have to admit, Finn is a good guy. And, you interrogated him like he was a suspect.”

“Hehe, it’s okay, sweetheart. He’s a decent guy, not pretentious, says what he means. But most importantly, you have to decide for yourself. If you truly love him, I won’t object to your relationship. However, there’s something else I have to ask you,” Amelia contemplated before continuing.

“What is it?” Relief washed over Kay when she heard her mother’s response.

“What’s with the slippers? Why would you have a pair specifically for him? You two aren’t living together, are you?” Amelia asked, staring directly at Kay.

“Mom,” Kay blushed and called out in an embarrassed tone.

“Kay, I may be old, but I’m not naive. You know the gossip mills of the entertainment industry. If the wrong people get wind of this, who knows what kind of scandals they might come up with. Besides, there’s another critical issue—you’re familiar with my past. I don’t want history repeating itself. I don’t object to the two of you being together, but the last thing I want is for you to face the same tragedy I did,” Amelia’s eyes welled up as she spoke.

“Mother, what on earth are you doing?” Kay quickly went over to wipe away her mother’s tears before hurriedly reassuring her, “Nothing happened between us, he has been very respectful.”

Finn didn’t have to wait for long downstairs before Kay and Amelia made their appearance. Olivia Thatcher’s car, though high-end, didn’t seem too extravagant, and Amelia didn’t think too much of it kay, naturally, wouldn’t drive, choosing instead to join her mother in the passenger’s seat of the car, as Finn turned on the ignition.
