Loving You Too Long Part 46
Mrs. Monica deliberately let Haisley sit on her right, and her husband sat on her left. Unwilling to let Haisley sit close to Nathan, Gilbert ended up sitting on Haisley's right, so Loretta sat on Gilbert's right and Nathan sat on his 'future wife's' right. "The waiter gave each person a menu. Mr. Samuel seemed engrossed in his own menu choice. So did Gilbert. 'Haisley, dear. What would you like to eat?' Mrs. Monica asked, lowering the menu from her face. "Haisley looked at the menu confused. She then looked at Gilbert for advice, which didn't escape Nathan's notice; he then made a decision that made people turn to look at him. Gilbert ignored his sister and pointed to a menu item for Haisley, which she nodded at. Everyone had stated their orders, only Loretta hadn't. "'I'm on a diet,' the girl said shyly. 'I'll just have a salad,' she said, closing the menu and handing it back to the waiter. "'Dessert?' the waiter asked. The girl shook her head again. "'You know, your youth shou

Mrs. Monica shook her head. 'When a man still clings to his partner and looks for other women out there, it's not because he has a reason to stay. They use the word 'bored' as a substitute for 'going to come back.' Because in the end, when his boredom disappears, he will return to where he truly belongs. 'And honestly, he doesn't want to leave. He wants to gain benefits for himself. Never mind that he hurts the woman accompanying him. Because why? Because he's a bastard. And in the end, the woman who becomes his outlet is often called cheap. 'And even cheaper, if the woman who becomes the mistress begs to hold on. Even now, the homewrecker is worse than the official wife. They act as if they are queens and the official wives are parasites. But in reality, it's the opposite. 'So Haisley, if a man hurts you, leave! Don't be a cheap woman begging for his love. Out there, there will be a superhero waiting for you. A man riding his white horse, waiting for the princess to return to her

Reluctantly, Haisley lifted her head, looking at him just as sharply. "It's none of your business when or why I cut my hair. Seeking attention?" Haisley snorted in annoyance. "Yes, I deliberately seek attention. I even intend to beautify myself and improve my appearance so that I can look sexier and attract many men's attention here. "Do you remember what your mother said earlier, that I should date many men? Well, I will do it. Then after that, you will call me a cheap woman. And you know, I don't mind hearing that. So now, let go of my hand. I want to sleep," Haisley snapped, yanking her hand away, but Nathan's grip was tight, making it not easy for Haisley to break free. "Nathan!" Haisley growled in frustration. "What about Dean?" he asked, his mouth tightly closed. "Are you planning to date many men behind his back? Are you planning to betray him?" he accused, angrily. Haisley lifted the corner of her mouth. "I've told you my affairs have nothing to do with you," she hissed. "

They stood in the passenger arrival area. Haisley seemed unwilling to stray far from Gilbert. The petite girl didn't mind being in Gilbert's embrace, occasionally looking up and smiling at her younger brother, but she didn't even glance at Nathan. This only served to infuriate him further. Why did he feel like an ignored airport pillar to her several times over? Nathan was still gazing at the girl when he heard a familiar loud voice, and a tall, slim, beautiful woman with long hair dyed dark brown and ombre with golden strands enveloping Haisley's small frame almost caused her to fall backward if Gilbert hadn't quickly steadied her by the waist. The woman's scolding was ear-piercing. Nathan averted his gaze and saw his father approaching, pulling two suitcases with both hands. The nearly sixty-year-old man came closer, and Nathan greeted him with a hug, patting his back gently. "How are you, Pa?" he said. "Good, very good," his father replied softly, in stark contrast to his wife

"Mom, don't teach other people's children to be cheap women," Nathan said in a disapproving tone. But his mother responded to his words with another lengthy speech about women, about obedience to God, parents, and infidelity. "What's wrong with being cheap anyway? After all, it's not you who's at a loss." Indeed, it wasn't her who would suffer the consequences, but Haisley's future husband. He would be left with the pieces in the end. Then his mother proceeded to talk to Loretta, but with sensitive content that left the girl flustered. And Nathan knew, whatever Loretta's response, his mother would counter it with other statements. Fortunately, his father intervened in the conversation, preventing the sensitive discussion from continuing further. In the end, Nathan escorted Loretta back to her apartment. Loretta remained silent throughout the journey, just like when they were heading to the airport. But this time, Nathan knew that the girl seemed sadder than before. "Is there somet

Nathan sneered, "Who's jealous of whom?" he asked his mother. "Isn't it amusing to think that I would be jealous of Haisley?" his mother replied nonchalantly, taking another sip of her drink. Nathan raised an eyebrow, deliberately mocking his mother. "Mommy is puzzled by what both of you are thinking, you and your father," he said bluntly. The woman walked away from the kitchen and approached Nathan. "Business, right? Why involve marriage?" she said mockingly. "Mutual symbiosis?" Nathan replied foolishly. His mother burst into laughter. "What mutual symbiosis? Can you really endure a woman you don't love? What about intimacy? Can you be intimate with a woman you don't desire? Or do you fantasize about another woman while you crush her in bed?" His mother sneered. "Yes, considering men can have sex with any woman without love, I suppose you can do it. After all, the woman you marry will just be a baby factory to carry on your legacy, won't she?" "Mommy ," Nathan interjected, fee

His mother looked him up and down mockingly and then nodded her head toward the wall clock. "It's already eight, Nath. I thought you've vanished and hidden in your kingdom," she said mockingly. Why did his mother always behave so cynically and mock him? What had he done to her, really? Nathan walked to the dining table and chose to sit there, directly facing his mother. Gilbert sat across from his father, leaving two empty seats. One on Gilbert's left, which was also his mother's right side. One on Gilbert's right, which was Nathan's left side. The sound of the doorbell caught everyone's attention. Aunt Jody offered to open the door without being asked. Meanwhile, Haisley was still engrossed in her cooking, the smell of which reached the table. "Good morning," Loretta's cheerful greeting surprised everyone. Nathan, who was facing away from the entrance, had to turn his body first. "I hope I'm not too late for breakfast. I made breakfast for all of us," she said cheerfully. She car

Haisley smiled and shook her head. "No, Auntie. Nathan isn't lost. He knows exactly which path he should take, and Loretta is his choice. I don't want to keep hoping. I've waited long enough for Nathan to erase the name Crystal from his heart and mind. Even though that name wasn't replaced with mine, I am grateful. At least Nathan is no longer hoping for something that will never be his. "And now, it's my turn to realize that Nathan isn't meant for me," Haisley said with full confidence. Mrs. Monica shook her head. The woman stood up again and paced back and forth in front of the two young women with a troubled mind. "Nathan is just not thinking clearly, and his foolish father is the same. How could he agree to his son's marriage based on business?" the woman grumbled angrily. "In the end, Nathan will realize that marrying for business reasons is not a good thing." Gilbert straightened up and looked at his mother with a mocking gaze. "Come on, why should Mom worry about him so exc
