The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 659

Willa took a bite of the salad and asked nonchalantly, "I don't see the link."

"But there is!"

Karen exhaled heavily and pinched Willa's cheek. "Didn't Dad drill it into you since you were knee-high to a grasshopper that you can't be picky, that you can't just eat the steak and ignore the salad? Because that's just common sense, it's the basics, it's about not being wasteful."

Willa nodded, confused. "Isn't that how it should be?"

"But what if you just don't like the salad? If you don't want to eat it, then don't. Not everything you do has to please Dad, nor does every action have to benefit the Perez family before you decide to do it. Everything you do should make you happy, got it?"

Willa sort of got it, but not really. She had always told herself that whatever happened, she needed to put the interests of the Perez family first.

The only time she ever went against Jasper's wishes was when she had to leave the Perez family because of the F-Poison incident.

But technically, it was still for the benefit of the Perez family.

This mindset had become deeply ingrained in Willa.

Karen's sudden outburst today left her at a loss.

What were the things that she actually liked?

Seeing Willa's puzzled and lost gaze, Karen didn't press on. She knew Willa had to figure it out on her own.

Some things are buried deep in the heart and aren't so easily rooted out, especially for someone as stubborn as Willa.

Coming to a real understanding would take time.

"Alright, chew on that for a while. I'll give this notebook to Frost. If there's anything else, go straight to her."

As Karen got up to leave, Willa grabbed her wrist. "Sasha, where are you going?"

Willa, with a keen sense, sensed a farewell in Karen's demeanor. Her eyes held a tightness as if Karen would disappear the next second.
