Before reaching the destination, Nancy Moore keeps imaging their questions: How’s your work? Do you have a boyfriend? You are 28 night, why don’t you have a boyfriend, are you going to mildew at home? Anyway, the author just wants to omit the rest questions.
She’s over. She scares this occasion most, while her mother likes it very much. The most thrilling thins is that Mrs. Moore grasps her hand tightly all the way, fearing that she may escape.
Nancy Moore uses some strength to get back her hand and grinds her teeth. “Mom, I will not escape,” says Nancy Moore.
“What are you thinking? I was just holding your hand, what’s wrong? You’ve grown up so I can’t hold your hand? Where’s your conscience? Bad kid!” Mrs. Moore swears and curses. The Ube driver shoots a glance at them from the rearview mirror. Nancy Moore reaches out her hand hurriedly, wearing an expression of “I’ve surrendered to you”.
“Mom, it’s just because there are some sweats in my palm. You can hold it!”
Mrs. Moore holds her hand again. Nancy Moore deeply resonates with the sentence “mothers are all the same around the world”. Mothers like to hold their kids hand to walk around and think it an honorable thing.
Therefore, Nancy Moore wears an expression of “Mom, you can do everything as long as you are happy” all the way. Then they reach the house of Mrs. Moore’s eldest sister.
The laughter inside makes them feel that it is like the New Year, when relatives would gather together and chat.
But Nancy Moore didn’t expect that she would meet Nicholas Shawn here. When seeing each other, the two are all stunned that they don’t even move or roll their eyes.
Many relatives visited her aunt today. Nancy Moore cannot call all the name of them, and she even can’t figure out which title she should use. Expect the family members of her aunt, other relatives came with Nicholas Shawn.
Seeing that Nancy Moore doesn’t move, Mrs. Moore follows her gaze and sees Nicholas, she then asks in confusion, “Do you know him?”
“Nancy Moore suddenly comes to her own sense and hurriedly shakes her head, replying, “No, I don’t know him, but… I feel familiar with his appearance.”
Nicholas Shawn smiles and nods at her. He doesn’t spot her lie. Nancy Moore is started that she breaks out in cold sweats. She then gives him a gaze carrying the meaning of “Thank you for not spotting my lie”.
Nancy Moore finds a place to sit down. She sighs in heart that there are always those topics for the senior’s conversations. As Mrs. Moore is chatting excitedly with those relatives from countryside, they then finally shift the topic on Nancy Moore.
“Is this Nancy, your eldest daughter? She grew up in a blink. Is she married?”
Mrs. Moore’s face stiffens a little. She smiles, shaking her head, “Not yet!”
“Oh, youngsters today prefer late marriage. Nancy is not like my daughter, who got married early. Several of my grandsons can even go shopping by themselves. It’s really troublesome.”
Whenever Nancy Moore hears such topics, she would points at the toilet, hinting them that she wants to go there. Then she would hide in the toilet.
But she can’t escape for too long. Since Nancy Moore has gone to the toilet for so many times, her aunt finally notices that something is strange. She knocks loudly on the door of the toilet, hinting Nancy to go out and let others use the toilet.
Nancy Moore can just surrender to the fate. She walks out of the toilet and sits down by her mother to listen to their chats. As she just sits down, Mrs. Moore pinches her arm hard. It seems that her mother is getting mad at her because she’s been asking about Nancy’s marriage. Her daughter is still unmarried, what a shame!
Nancy Moore can just bear the pain with a smile and accept this treatment. This is the destiny of a single.
Nancy didn’t expect that her aunt would suddenly pay attention to her. Her aunt shifts her gaze onto Nancy and smirks, saying, “Nancy, come here. Let me introduce this hunk to you. He is the son of one of the distant relative of my husband. He has no kinship with you.”
Nancy Moore soon gets what her aunt wants to do. As she is about to say no, Nicholas Shawn says flatly, “I knew Miss Nancy before.”
Nancy Moore is freaked out that her face turns pale, she cuts in hurriedly, “Oh, that’s it, it comes to me that maybe we met at work before. No wonder I felt that you look familiar. Ha-ha, nice to meet you!”
He aunt widens her eyes. A brighter smile appears on her face, “It turns out that you met each other before. What a destiny! It’s undoubtedly destiny. You two must be a perfect match!”
