Dare To Love 39. Neighbour's Talk
The next day, in the evening after work, Lea was surprised to see several cars lined up in front of the neighbor's house. There were four cars.Lea remembered the information from Mrs. Anna during dinner yesterday, saying there would be Tiara's engagement ceremony today. "Oh, these must be the cars of their future in-laws," Lea muttered. She had to reluctantly park her car at the far end of the row because one of the cars blocked the entrance to her house.Exiting the car, she noticed some neighbor ladies gathering on the porch. Why there? She thought. She then entered the house, and they started greeting Lea enthusiastically. One of them, the gossip queen of the neighborhood, was undoubtedly the most enthusiastic."Wow, just got home, Lea?" came the thin-lipped greeting from the gossip queen."Yes, Ma’am. Usually, I get home around five on Mondays, and work an extra hour," Lea replied, thinking of a clever excuse to excuse herself and go straight into the house. However, it would onl
Dare To Love 40. Being Stucked
After helping out at the neighbor's house, Mrs. Anna and Grace returned home. It coincided with their usual dinner time. Mrs. Anna brought a chicken soup from her neighbor's house. So, that evening, in addition to the tilapia with chili and fresh vegetables that Mrs. Anna had prepared since noon, there was also the special chicken soup from the engagement ceremony."Wow, the smell of the soup is delicious, Mom," commented Mr. Adam when his wife served it on the dining table."Yes, Dad. This was cooked by Kylie's sister-in-law. Mama tasted it there, it's delicious indeed. I even asked for the recipe. It's the same, but somehow the result is so tasty. Maybe because there's a lot of meat, bones, and marrow in it, making the seasoning more flavorful," Mrs. Anna answered enthusiastically."True, Mom. The dish that I tasted earlier was also really delicious. It was also cooked by Kylie's aunt. She said she owns a restaurant in her hometown. No wonder everything tastes so good." Grace added
Dare To Love 41. A Mother's Charm
Seeing Lea's increasingly pouting face, Mrs. Anna wasn't sure if her daughter could resist being friendly to Daniel. So, she made a quick decision. Eventually, she trailed behind Lea and took the lead in greeting Daniel."Well, here's Lea. We just finished dinner. Have you eaten or not? If you want, we can accompany you for dinner inside with Lea," Mrs Anna offered sweetly."Oh, thank you so much, Ma’am, but I already ate at home earlier," Daniel replied, looking pleased when Lea joined them."Well, if that's the case. I can join you for a chat, or not?" Mrs. Anna's words instantly startled Lea. What was her mom up to?"No need, Mom, just go inside," Lea retorted, taking the lead.However, in contrast, Daniel politely invited, "Certainly, Ma’am. Please sit. Oh, by the way, next door seems to have had an event, right?"He asked about some decorations visible from the neighboring house."Yes, there was an engagement ceremony there. It just finished a while ago," Mrs Anna replied, taking
Dare To Love 42. Support For Daniel
Daniel was taken aback. This girl is different. She is offered a position but ends up bullying the one making the offer. Special, Daniel thought. His admiration for Lea multiplied several times. It's a must, he thought, he has to win this girl, that's his determination."It's not like that, I was just offering because there happened to be a vacant position. I don't recruit people just based on subjective factors. Even though I like you, and there's a possibility of you becoming my wife, if you're interested, you still have to go through the usual selection process. I'm just recommending you, that's what I mean," Daniel tried to explain.Lea still frowned with her eyebrows furrowed. "Eh, aren't you supposed to stay here for a bit? Not going home? It's already late, you know?" Lea finally coaxed. She was bored accompanying the guy. Whatever she did, from the beginning, she didn't like it and couldn't be forced to like it.Daniel sighed heavily. Finally, he gave in to Lea's wish. Next ti
Dare To Love 43. Daniel's Tricks
The next day, Lea again had to be surprised by Daniel's presence at breakfast. He asked Mr Adam and Mrs Anna for permission to pick up Lea from work starting that day. "Oh my! Why, Daniel?" she exclaimed, not understanding Daniel's motives. Because she was used to going to work on her own and not burdening others. "I'm looking for something to do, Lea. I don't have any other commitments," he calmly replied. His answer made Lea want to smack her head or something similar. However, she feared being scolded by her parents, who were currently grateful for Daniel's kind offer. "But isn't it inconvenient for Daniel to pick up and drop off Lea daily, especially when he surely has plenty of other commitments?" Mrs Anna asked, feeling uneasy. "It's okay, Ma’am. Besides, it's on the way to my office anyway. I used to pick up and drop off Amanda before he got a girlfriend and started commuting with her," Daniel replied cheerfully. "Thank you so much, then. I'll be more at ease knowing Lea ha
Dare To Love 44. Excitement In The Office
Lea spontaneously widened her eyes, surprised by Daniel's question, the answer to which was already clear but still questioned by him. "What? Didn't you say I have to ask first, how should I do it?" Daniel commented, realizing the strange look from the girl sitting next to him. "As if asking again is necessary, obviously not, right? The answer is clear!" Lea replied in an annoyed tone. Lea thought that Daniel seemed to be deliberately trying to annoy her. In a sad tone, Daniel said he wouldn't pick up Lea tomorrow if she didn't like it. "Really? Okay, thanks a lot for your understanding," Lea said, slightly relieved. Finally, she only had to endure the bad experience of being picked up by Daniel for just one day. They arrived in front of Lea's office building a few moments later. The girl exited the car, saying politely, "Thank you. I'll go in directly." "Okay, don't forget to let me know when you're leaving so I can pick you up," Daniel requested earnestly. "Oh, no need, it's
Dare To Love 45. Indecision
That afternoon, Amanda tried to reshape Lea's thoughts. She seemed to dismiss all the reasons Lea provided for rejecting Daniel's love."I can't. I'm already into Shane.""Does Shane feel the same way about you?"Like a slap in the face, Lea couldn't answer that question."Well, it's not clear.""So, what's your other reason for rejecting him? Is Daniel ugly? Mean? Rude?""Not at all! He's cool, kind, warm, and very considerate, especially when it comes to you!""Come on, Lea, consider all that. Don't regret it, ignoring him just to pursue Shane, who, in reality, you're not pursuing anyway. Why not just accept what comes your way? By doing that, you can even satisfy your family. You can resolve your mom's issues. That's much more important.Amanda gave lengthy advice to Lea. Lea forgot to touch her food on the plate at all. She lost her appetite as she realized and accepted that what Amanda had said was mainly factual.Thinking about her mom's suffering, who continued to deceive herse
Dare To Love 46. Resignation
Lea's concerns were justified. The women pressured Mrs. Anna to reveal when Lea might be engaged. Oh no! These gossiping mothers were so quick when it came to rumors. Who would want to get engaged to Daniel anyway?"So, Lea, did you get closer to Daniel just now?" Mrs. Anna began probing what had happened between Lea and Daniel when they had had a family dinner. As usual, dinner allowed the family to gather, eat, and share their daily activities."Oh, come on, Mom. Nothing happened. We just sat close in the car. Other than that, it's just normal." Lea replied skeptically.This response seemed to invite disappointment on her mom's face. The heavy sigh and pleading look she immediately threw at her husband was proof of this.Mr. Adam somewhat understood his wife's code and commented, "Why is that? It would help if you got closer. You are in the getting-to-know-each-other phase. Shouldn't there be any progress?"Lea shook her head. "No, Dad. Besides, I've already said, feelings can't be
