Bye, My Irresistible Love

George’s POV: 

“Good to see that you’ve matured, George,” Grandpa remarked as he looked at me intently. I was hardly home and he was on a vacation in Hawaii when I came back a few days ago. So technically speaking, we hadn’t seen each other for quite some time now. Just then, my parents, Morton and Erin Affleck, came out of their bedroom. 

“Dad, don’t praise him too much, or else he’ll become cocky,” said my mother. She walked towards me and sat beside me. Even though she said that, I could see the pride and joy in her eyes. My father, on the other hand, was wearing a long face. 

“The driver saw you leave with a girl when he arrived to pick you up. Is he telling the truth?” he asked. “Who is she?” my mother asked nervously.

 “Do you have a girlfriend now? Most women out there are cold and calculating gold diggers. Do not trust them easily!” Even though their tones weren’t particularly stone, I could tell that they were interrogating me, and it was making me feel very uncomfortable.

 “Jane is my colleague and business partner. She’s not the cold and calculating woman like you think she is,” I explained with a frown. 

After hearing my explanation, my parents seemed more relieved.

 “George, I know that you’re a cautious man, so we’ve never interfered in your career planning. But, what worries me the most is your marriage. If you’re ready to get married, you need to marry a girl of your class!” My mother added. 

“Mom, your view on marriage is very outdated,” I argued. I couldn’t believe that my mother would even subscribe to such rotten ideas. 

“I’ve heard enough. It’s getting late. Go to bed!” Grandpa shouted. Silence ensued in the living room. Not daring to say another word, my parents went upstairs. As I watched them go upstairs, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
