The Day I Kissed An Older Man

"She didn't return the courtesy I showed to her," Sherman lamented. "I believed her because I knew her character through our interactions together, but I now doubt her because there were certain things that I told her and her alone. Please take good care of Grandpa and Grandma. You don't have to worry about the rest."

As she listened to her son's icy tone, Simona realized that there was no turning back anymore. Whatever affection they might have shared before would have been nipped right in the bud. The Parrs had been waiting for ages to know what sort of partner Sherman would end up with, yet none of them could have anticipated that his marriage would be a rushed one.

Simona sighed and could only wish the best for Sherman. As concerned as Sherman's elders were about him, it was not up to them to dictate what sort of life Sherman was supposed to live. He was already an adult, and he was capable of navigating his decisions and understanding their consequences. The sole issue that niggled her at that juncture was the prospect of having scheming people are their in-laws. When Simona returned, she shared Sherman's decision with the rest of the family. "We'll support him now that he's made his decision. I can only hope that the young lady doesn't come to regret this." Vince was caught off-guard to learn that Sherman would lower his ego and accept the proposal. When he received the message, he stood up with a smile in the meeting room, much to the surprise of his subordinates. It was not until his secretary reminded him about the situation that he snapped back to the present.
