This complaint shocked Teresa. Looking at the young face before her, she opened her mouth to defend herself but couldn’t
up with any words.

In the end, she murmured, “Widi, you…” Her voice was hoarse. Once again, she was at a loss for words. After a long silence, she dryly said, “I love you very much.”
Widi was playing with her phone when Teresa finally knew what to say. She gave her mother a perfunctory response, lowered her head, and checked her phone.
Just now, her phone had vibrated. Who sent her a new message? She soon found a new message from Vic who wanted her to be his eye as before.
Unhappy, Widi poked at the keyboard on her phone. Indignation gradually got her because Jeremy and Vic made Yvonne their excuse to have fun in the backyard.
“They won’t get criticized as long as they say that they are playing with Yvonne. So cunning!” Widi thought.
She was mad because neither Jeremy nor Vic had invited her to join them, even out of courtesy. “How shameless they are to ask me to be their eye!” she thought.
Indignant, she typed hard, [How dare you!] Before she sent out her reply. There came another message from Vic. [Thank you very much.]
Widi felt frustrated. She considered herself thin–skinned, but she was far inferior to Vic and Jeremy in comparison. “How shameless they are!” she thought.
Widi didn’t get deceived by her cousins even if they had outstanding appearances. She had grown up with them, so she was already immune to their appearances.
She had invited her friends to her home. Their attention was diverted whenever Vic appeared. Soon, she heard their whisper of compliments.
“Wow, your cousin is so handsome, Widi.”
“Yeah, so gentle, and so young. You’re so lucky.”
Widi turned her head, shifted her gaze from her bewitched friends to Vic, and found him smiling at her. She couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Vic while she thought, “Keep pretending…”
She would feel lucky only when her cousins and brothers were driven out of the house. Unfortunately, she would think of them whenever some handsome boys confessed to her.
According to her observation, handsome men, more often than not, had one or two severe personality flaws. Therefore, she said no to her handsome wooers.
The more handsome her wooers were, the faster she said no. Therefore, her friends teased that she had unique taste in men.
Widi suddenly came back to her senses and looked at Teresa. “What are you thinking about, Widi? I’ve called times,” Teresa said.

Perhaps because of Widi’s complaint, Teresa sounded soft and warm. She was patient because she wanted something from
Widi.
Widi kept her mouth shut, and Teresa didn’t get mad. Teresa gently explained, “Well, Widi, your dad and I don’t give you enough attention sometimes, but you are as dear to us as your brothers. We love you very much.”
For the first time in her life, Teresa seriously expressed her love for Widi, but Widi didn’t get moved as expected. Widi curtly

responded, “Okay.”
She would have a sleepless night and end the night with a wet pillow if Teresa had done so in her childhood. At the thought of her house, she felt it necessary to say something.
“Prove it if you mean it,” Widi said. Without hesitation, Teresa accepted the challenge by saying, “No problem.” She was anxious to prove her love for Widi and added, “What do you want me to do?”
Widi said without thinking, “Stop asking me for my house.” Teresa fell silent, and her expression subtly changed. Again, her head ached.
“Widi, didn’t I explain to you…” Teresa had listed many reasons why Widi should give her house to John.
Widi could recite those so–called reasons and was tired of them. Therefore, she interrupted Teresa by saying, “I have thought about the matter.
“You and Dad can keep the money as long as I don’t get married. Therefore, I will stay single forever.”
She had no interest in matrimony anyway. She felt fretted at the thought that didn’t like this idea even if he might be handsome.
a man would occupy half of her bed. She
“No!” Teresa didn’t like this plan at all. “How can you stay single forever? Don’t talk nonsense like that.” Widi didn’t argue with Teresa because this conversation couldn’t arouse her interest.
She thought, “I can as long as I convince Grandpa.” Richard was conservative, so he might not agree with Widi. This thought dejected Widi. “What should I do?” she wondered.
Teresa continued her persuasion. Widi didn’t pay attention to persuasion, but she knew what Teresa would say.
Her parents had made a good arrangement for John. They wanted him to hold important positions within the company after a doctoral program from Peral University.
In other words, John would spend a lot of time on his education. However, it was alright because Jack already worked at the
company.
It was troublesome for John to commute between the Adler residence and Peral University, so Teresa coveted Widi’s house.
As for Widi, Teresa and Anthony had a plan for her too. They expected her to marry into a rich family after her undergraduate education at Peral University. In their opinion, her life would be blissful with the support of her two capable brothers and a rich husband.
After a sign, Teresa said earnestly, “Widi, you should understand…” Right then, Widi said, “I plan to go to graduate school.”
She knew little about archaeology, but she was clear that there would be a good reason for her to contact lan if she chose the graduate program of Peral University.
It was said that Ian taught a class for graduate students and was popular among them. It was human nature to like pretty things, and Ian was handsome.
