As the man mentioned that, Annabelle was stunned. After that her lips curled up and she said, “Because it was too difficult and I preferred jewelry design!”
Teneria tilted his head and looked at her, “But when you were in the college, you tutor said that your result was good!”
Ralphy nodded in agreement as well.
Their family felt perturbed when she gave up on business management so abruptly. However, Annabelle was a self-assertive person and no one could change her decision.
“I was just forcing myself that time, dad, bro, please don’t pick on me now~” Annabelle looked at Teneria and said in coquettish. She didn’t want to discuss about the topic.
“I’m not trying to pick on you. Dad will support you in finding your passion and whatever you do. However, you should still go back to the company to help your brother out!” Teneria said.
“All right, dad, let’s talk about this some other time~” Annabelle said that and changed the topic.
When Teneria saw Annabelle’s reaction, he smiled helplessly, “All right then, you can do whatever you want!”
Annabelle smiled.
Ralphy simply stared at Annabelle. The man was very disturbed about that few years ago. Now he just had a feeling that something was wrong but he couldn’t identify it.
He simply looked at Annabelle and pondered deeply.
At that time, Waynie called out from the kitchen, “It’s done, let’s eat!”
When Annabelle heard that, she repeated to the two men, “Dad, bro, let’s eat!”
After saying that, she walked directly to the kitchen.
Teneria and Ralphy stopped their chess game and walked to the dining table.
The family sat on the table and had their dinner.
It had been a while since the Xia household was so lively. Annabelle didn’t know why but she was in a better mood than the previous time.
After the dinner, Annabelle went upstairs to rest.
And Ralphy went out for a business socializing.
The mother and father sat in the living room to chat and drink tea.
“I can tell that you are different whenever your daughter comes home. You seemed to be in a good mood!” Waynie looked at Teneria and said.
When Teneria heard that, he sighed, “No matter what, she is our daughter. We brought her up bit by bit!”
Waynie sat in the front of the man and nodded agreeably, “Exactly, I still remember the first time when we saw her. She was so tiny. Now she is already a grown woman. Time really flies!”
When she mentioned that, Teneria sighed and the man seemed to recall something all of a sudden, “Oh right, when I was chatting with Annabelle earlier, I mentioned to let her go back to the company to help out Ralphy. But she refused!”
Waynie frowned, “She don’t want to go back?”
Teneria nodded.
Waynie’s eyebrows knitted closely together and she had an intuition that something was wrong, “Darling, I saw that you guys were chatting just now. What were you guys talking about?”
“We were talking about that. And also the reason she gave up business management few years ago and changed her major to design. That had bewildered both me and Ralphy.”
When Waynie heard that, she frowned and she appeared to have recalled something, “Darling, could it be that Annabelle found out about something?”
When she mentioned that, Teneria stared at Waynie and he was stunned.
“I don’t think so, after all, we have never mentioned this before!” Teneria answered.
Waynie just couldn’t shake off the feeling, “When she was nineteen, she decided to give up on business management to study design. Not only that, I remembered that that she was always coquettish with the both of us. Now that I think about it, ever since that time, she became rigid and polite… Don’t you think that it was weird?” Waynie said.
After hearing that, Teneria was stunned and he simply looked at Waynie.
Now that he thought about that, it seemed to be the case.
