Meeting You Was Fate

Eve was struck speechless.

The atmosphere in the living room had become ominous and smothering. Both the father and the daughter were embarrassed at not knowing each other's birthday after living together for more than twenty years!

"See… You don't know my birthday either. Eve, let me tell you something. Don't give up on things midway. When you said you liked photography, I sent you abroad to study photography. After graduating, you refused to take over the bank. And now you've been wandering out in the city with no purpose. I have always supported you, but I am worried for your future. I've been under a lot of pressure. Can you understand me? Think about it. How much have you done for the family these past years?" Shaun said earnestly with a sigh.

Eve's eyes widened. A crooked smile appeared on her face. "I'm not interested in managing the bank. Besides, you're still young, aren't you, Dad?"

"It's my fault that you have turned out so selfish..." Shaun shook his head in disappointment. He knew Eve wouldn't change her mind.

"I am selfish, yes. What else did you expect me to grow up as in this selfish environment? Dad, I want to be with Nathan. It's my only wish. Can't you satisfy it?"

"He has to agree to be with you too! Don't be so childish," Shaun said in a cold voice.

"Are you saying I don't know what he feels?" Eve gritted her teeth, feeling a faint sense of anger rising in her chest.

"You're not respecting yourself by pestering him like this. The person he loves is Mandy, not you. How many times do I have to tell you this before you finally understand? If Nathan loved you, he would have married you long ago."

It felt like the air in the room was being sucked away instant by instant, making them breathless and restless.
