The Day I Kissed An Older Man

"So, Sherman, will I ever get to see you get married in this lifetime? What's the point of sitting in your office every day, earning all that money? The money you've earned can last you several lifetimes, so you should spend some time getting your marriage in order."

Sherman continued to eat his meal leisurely. He had a busy day at work and looked forward to coming home for dinner. He did not at all expect to receive so much nagging. However, he felt fortunate to have so many cared about him. After all, not everyone could count themselves so lucky.

"Grandpa, please don't say that. You're definitely going to live a long life," replied Sherman calmly.

Simona, his mother, also chimed in. "Yes, Roger, you shouldn't say things like that just because you want to see Sherman get married. Both you and Chelsea are going to live long lives. As for you, Sherman, I'm not in a hurry to see you get married. I just hope you can spend more time on yourself rather than dealing with those contracts every day.

"Is making money really that enjoyable to you? Look at your father; he can spend the whole night with just a book. And you, you're just like him. You can spend a whole day reading contracts. That's not good." Simona was indirectly mocking her husband. "Believe me when I say, we all just hope you can spend more time on yourself. There'll never come a day when you feel like you've earned enough." Sherman nodded. "Mom, that's enough. I understand where you're all coming from, and I'll make sure to take some time off for myself. So stop worrying."
