After a moment of silence, Flossie’s father’s voice was heavy, he asked again: "Have you thought it through?"
Flossie’s reply could not have been more succinct.
"In that case," he paused briefly, his voice full of resolve, "we will agree to Rowdy Brightwill’s request to cancel the engagement."
Slightly squinting her eyes, Flossie couldn’t help to feel surprised.
Last time she talked with Rowdy Brightwill, he was clearly unwilling to cancel the engagement, why this time...
Despite all the doubts in her heart, Flossie did not show any surprise, she appeared calm and composed, as if she had expected this eventuality. There was no sign of the former screaming and going mad.
To be honest, every time she thinks of Flossie’s drastic reactions in the past, she felt ashamed. After all, it was her who now carried all her former memories. She also had to face all the set interpretations and impressions.
Hearing Flossie agree so calmly, Flossie’s father got inexplicably irritated and, with a "snap", he hung up the call.
What should have been a joyous affair had resulted in both families departing in discord. Even though Flossie had agreed to cancel the engagement, Flossie’s father still felt like he had been slapped by Rowdy Brightwill, his heart was anything but comfortable. He had calmly accepted it earlier as he was certain Flossie would disagree...
Who would have thought!
Flossie would so easily agree to it!
However, no matter how frustrated Flossie’s father was, Flossie felt as if a burden had been lifted off her shoulders. She calmly returned the phone to her mother.
"Flossie," Flossie’s mother, who had listened to the entire conversation, quickly grabbed her arm, concern in her eyes, she asked "Are you okay?"
"I’m fine."
Flossie raised her eyebrows, not looking troubled at all.
But, her seemingly "fine" demeanor, appeared more like "not fine" to her mother. Even Dian Deacon, who was beside her, looked worried.
Everyone knew that Flossie had chased Rowdy Brightwill all the way to the Forces. How could she so easily agree to the "cancellation of the engagement" now? What else could it be if not a shock?
Last time when Flossie’s mother heard that Flossie wanted to cancel the engagement, she didn’t take it to heart. Today, seeing Rowdy Brightwill so considerately send Flossie home, she thought they had reconciled and there was hope, unaware that as soon as Rowdy Brightwill got home he would create such a scene. How could this happen!
If anything were to happen to her daughter...
"No, I must talk to Rowdy Brightwill. He can’t just cancel the engagement." Thinking of this, Flossie’s mother became very anxious, her hand holding the phone was slightly trembling as she was about to call Rowdy Brightwill.
Flossie watched her mother’s anxious behavior and couldn’t help but to find it laughably absurd.
What is this?
"Olivia Hamilton," Flossie lifted her hands and rested them on her mother’s shoulders. With a gentle force, she made her mother stop dialing. When she looked up, her eyes were teary. Flossie lowered her eyelids, looking into her mother’s eyes she explained word by word, "I proposed it."
Flossie’s mother looked surprised, she stared at Flossie in shock. The firm and calm gaze communicated an incredible force, convincing her unconsciously.
