Chapter 16 What Do You Want?

• There was a reason why Simon rarely visited his parents, practically the same one that made him move away years before: Mirela and her habit of trying to set him up with a girlfriend. He would step into the mansion only to have his patience tested by his mother's plans for his future. After the interrogation about his love life, his mother would start to praise her friends' daughters.
• "She's a very beautiful woman..."
• "I don't doubt that," he grumbled, bored, but without effect on the matriarch's enthusiasm.
