Chapter 21

• "Mom."
• "Hush it, Evan. Now go and greet Mr. Sinclair," the woman said. Evan, after giving me an apologetic look, went to the table. It was clear Evan's mom held so much control over him, so I knew my relationship with Evan would never work out as long as this woman didn't like it. I wasn't planning to waste a month trying to get her to like me.
• Angie who realized my uneasiness said, "She's usually not like that. I don't want to lie, so I won't say she'll love you, but trust me, after she gets to know you, she'll be a little soft on you," she said, and I asked, "Why doesn't she like me? I haven't done anything to her?" And Angie shared, "When I started seeing Harry, the whole family didn't approve of it. Only Evan supported us. They said he was a peasant and could embarrass the family's image. They wanted to marry me off to a royal family prince. Luckily, we didn't give up. We kept seeing each other and purposely made a baby, and they couldn't do anything but accept him.", "Maybe it will get better," I said.
