"I have been saving money lately all these past few months and managed to invest it. This was why I couldn't send money back home and before I earned something from the money, I didn't want to face you and now that I made a huge earning, of course, I should do my filial duty. I ........"
Belinda knew her daughter well. She wouldn't do anything that goes against morality and if she was saying that she invested her savings and earned profits, then it was that.
She couldn't help but smile, her eyes filled with so much pride, "as expected of my baby. You are really a genius!"
Diamond laughed happily upon hearing that; it had always been like that. Although she wasn't talented in many aspects, her parents had always been very proud of her and would praise her to the nines.
She was embarrassed when growing up because she knew that her talents were mediocre. Ruby, however, was a genius, and she was someone who would achieve something greater in the future.
And Diamond wanted a brighter future for her. She was going to do her best to give her a better chance for tertiary education. She was a rich person now, and sending Ruby to school was very easy.
Richard Perry wasn't a talkative person, and everyone was used to that. The father simply looked at Diamond with love and pride in his eyes.
"Okay, we can talk later. How about we arrange the food and cook something? I am starving!" Ruby suggested, seeing how everyone wasn't moving.
When she said that, it finally dawned on Belinda that there were chores to do. Quickly, everyone was busy, including Richard packing the food in the pantry while Belinda happily prepared supper for everyone.
On that night, the family was finally completed, and the supper was more delicious than before. After supper, they sat together in the sitting room and began to listen to Diamond talking about Frin City.
The family of four would laugh here and there, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Richard had to go to work early, so he went to sleep before everyone else and only the women remained.
Belinda looked at Diamond, and as a mother, she could tell that her child was hiding something, but before the other was willing to share, she wasn't going to share.
But as a mother, she was also curious about her daughter's relationships. After all, Diamond was already twenty-five, and she hadn't spoken anything about a boyfriend for nearly three years.
After Diamond broke up with that scum of a boyfriend that made her daughter cry for a long time, Belinda didn't dare to pressure her daughter or ask her about relationships.
But now the time had passed, and she believed that time was the best healer of all. She should be healed by now. And her daughter's age was suitable for marriage. There were so many girls Diamond's age who were already married and with kids.
Although she didn't wish to rush her daughter into doing that, she would feel relieved if there was someone.
