Chapter 610 Unwillingness to Part
However, Daniella tugged Veronica’s hand and led her into the house. They sat in the bedroom as the mother clung unwillingly to the daughter’s hand. “Roni, I can’t believe that you’re about to get married soon. After your marriage, you’ve got to learn to be a good wife and behave maturely. You can’t stay a childish one forever, got it?”
“Gosh, Mom! I know that I’ll always be a child in your eyes.”
Veronica hugged Daniella affectionately and said coyly, “I’m not marrying off to somewhere distant and I’ll be able to come home anytime I want. Besides, if you can’t bear to part with me, then move to the city with me.”
“Your dad and I have lived in the countryside for our entire lives and we’re used to it here. We definitely won’t be moving into the city. We just wish for a life of happiness for the two of you.”
“Mom, you’re the best!” Veronica lifted her head and noticed Daniella’s reddened eyes. At that point, Veronica could not help bursting into laughter. “Mom, I’m just getting married and it’s not a sad matter. Why are you crying?”
As soon as Veronica said that, Daniella smacked her on the back of her head. “You little brat! You were such a tiny little thing when you were a child…”
Daniella made a gesture with her hands. “I raised you tirelessly, and your dad and I worried so much about you. Now that we’ve finally raised you into a wonderful woman, we haven’t even got to enjoy you for more than two years and you’re about to marry into another family soon. I would of course be…” As she spoke, there was a hitch to her voice and she cried, “Be sad to part with you.”
“I get it. I get it. I can’t bear to part with you guys either.”
Veronica was saddened to hear Daniella’s words. “It’s fine. We live so close to each other, so I’d be able to come home regularly. During New Year’s, we can alternate between celebrating with Matthew’s family and you guys annually. I’ve spoken to Matthew about this.”
“Those are just minor issues.” Daniella wiped her tears and got up to her desk before opening the drawer to obtain a red box with worn-off paint.
Besides, Elizabeth had also gifted Veronica a bracelet back then and it was passed on from the earlier Kings’ generation. She found the bracelet too precious, so she did not wear it and kept it stored at Twilight Condominium.
“What are you on about? This bracelet was gifted to me by your grandmother and you’re our only daughter, so who else would this go to?”
“Hahaha… I was just joking.” Veronica revealed a knowing smile.
Shortly after that, Tony walked into the room and glanced at Veronica before flinging the cigarette he was puffing to the ground and putting it out. “Gosh, my daughter will no longer be part of our family after her marriage. We should have given birth to a son.” Tony cracked a joke.
“Even if you had a son, Dad, I would remain your favorite child.” Veronica tilted her head while she snuggled against Daniella’s shoulders.
Daniella glared at Tony. “Stop talking nonsense in front of our precious daughter!”
