A Graduation Gift

"You are a Tang, and you are my son! Our family was deeply rooted in this city and has developed into a prominent family! No one in this family is allowed to be involved in a scandal like this!"

Horace bellowed as his face grew red because of anger.

"It's not a scandal. Every single man or woman has the freedom to fall in love with another person. Both of us are unmarried. We are doing well together,"

Rufus replied in a relaxed tone. All this time, never did he think that his relationship with Cassandra was shameful.

"You... How dare you contradict and talk back to me!"

Horace was furious now. He placed his hand on his chest and started breathing fast.

"Father, don't be so angry, please. There were conflicts and accidents in this family because Cassandra and Lionel didn't love each other. We are different. I love her and she loves me. And if you insist that it's improper for us to be together, we will move out. We won't live here."

Rufus finished his words calmly and looked at Horace who was out of breath.

"I'll call your doctor,"

Rufus said and left the study to make a call to the doctor. He had expected Horace would oppose, but he would not stop loving Cassandra. He would be with her no matter what and no matter how, even if it meant he had to beat all the odds for her.
