SIGNING IN: BEING SHOWERED BY HEAVENLY BLESSINGS FOR FIVE YEARS novel Chapter 120

Chapter 120: Chapter 118

"My daughter will like you if she sees you!" Rita chuckled softly as she thought of her beautiful daughter.

Diamond grinned at Rita after hearing so much about her daughter. "I bet that we will. From what you have told me, I can tell that she is a great person."

"She is and I am very proud of her!" Rita smilingly said, her eyes sparkling at the thought of her daughter.

Seeing that, Diamond couldn’t help but like Rita more. Parents who love their children were the people that she loved the most.

Parents must raise their children until they are old enough to take care of themselves. It was also their duty to make sure that the children grow up in the right direction.

As long as the parents give adequate love, care, and attention to their children, they will grow up well.

However, too much of everything could make the children delinquents and scum of society as well. So, a balance should be struck.

She was raised well, though a bit more spoiled. That spoiling thought made her brain malfunction in many ways that made her feel embarrassed whenever she thought of it.

She didn’t blame her parents for how she turned out when she was at university. After all, her delusional mind and greediness made her commit heinous deeds that nearly destroyed her.

Her parents never taught her that, and that was on her.

So, seeing a parent who loved her children so much while striking that balance, she loved Rita more.

"You should meet!"

"Hmm, that will be a great idea. Maybe when she is free, she can drop by Frin or I will come to Ashford. I haven’t been to Ashford before," Diamond suggested as she looked gently at Rita.

Rita clapped her hands together upon hearing that.

"That is a great idea. We will keep on talking and see what we can do."

Diamond was happy about that. She didn’t mind travelling at all, as she would be seeing new places. She couldn’t be locked in one place. She wanted to travel and enjoy what life had brought for her.

The two talked about all sorts of topics until Rita breached a topic that Diamond enjoyed the most.

"So, Diamond, have you ever thought of settling down? At what age would you want to start your family?" Rita asked curiously.

Times had changed greatly. It wasn’t that era where women were rushed and forced to marry as soon as they were of age.

Some career-minded women got married in their late thirties and early forties.

She was married in her early twenties to her childhood sweetheart. So, to her, it didn’t matter when she got married, as the both of them knew each other their whole lives.

"I do believe in marriage, but I think that it’s not really for me at this stage. I hate being tied down to a man, dedicate my whole life to him and all that. I want to pursue what I love, travel around the world, and earn more money," Diamond responded with a gentle smile on her face.

Rita, on the other hand, hearing that, was baffled. She wasn’t expecting to receive such a response at all and was wondering why she was like that.

"Once upon a time, I believed in love. I wanted to love that person dearly, but all I received was heartbreak. I swore off love back then, though I am not sure what the future will hold for me."

Rita was stunned once again. She could tell that Diamond was a girl with a story, and it made her very curious.

However, Diamond had just started and Rita was in for a wild ride.

"Apart from my family, you are the only person that I am telling you this. It’s because I really like you and I want you to know me better without any shield or covering."

"I got hurt by someone I loved, so I told myself that if I ever get into a relationship again, I won’t give my heart anymore. Those who love me will surround me. I will let them shower me with love and I will receive it wholeheartedly," Diamond said with a sad smile on her face. "Do you think that I am selfish for doing that?"

Rita didn’t know what to say after hearing that. However, remaining silent wasn’t the answer. So, she rummaged for an answer and found one. "We all have reasons for everything that we do. As long as our conscious is clear, what’s there to fear?"

Diamond smiled brightly upon hearing that.

"That’s true. What’s there to fear indeed?" the more she repeated that statement, the more she loved it.

"So, by being surrounded by those that love you. What do you mean, exactly?" Rita asked for clarity.

She didn’t want to guess and think far ahead and judge the little girl without getting the facts straight. So, her best bait was to understand Diamond first before she summarized what was going on for a better judgment.
