Chapter 477
The knock on the door came just then.
Daisy walked over to open it, and the person knocking was her mom. Rosie noticed the necklace around Daisy’s
neck. “Where’d you get this? It’s stunning.”
A bit shy, Daisy whispered, “Frances gave it to me.”
Rosie was taken aback. “You went to the Boswell’s today?”
“Mhm, I did.” Daisy sat down on the sofa, took a book out of her bag, and put it on the table.
Rosie knew by looking at the book her daughter brought back that she had a good time at Frances’. Even though
Daisy appeared to be outgoing, she was actually a bookworm.
Daisy seemed easy-going, but her mind was as sharp as a tack. She only had one good friend, Allison, and most of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇther time was spent dealing with these jewels.
Out of the blue, Mina from the Boswell family popped by, bringing up the engagement her father-in-law had
arranged a decade ago. Neither she nor Wyatt wanted to agree. They only had one daughter.
The Boswell family was a tough nut to crack, an enigma. Especially Mina, who rose from a nobody to her current
status, she was no angel that was for sure. Everyone knows, even though on the surface it’s the Boswell family,
actually, it’s all under Mina’s thumb.
If Daisy married into that family, she’d just be a puppet for Mina to manipulate public opinion.
Who’d want their daughter to walk into such a mess? Who wouldn’t want their daughter to find someone she loved,
to live a happy life?
During that time, Rosie would pray and shed tears in the dark.
Seeing her daughter smiling more these days, made Rosie’s mood improve a lot.
Daisy said, “Mom, I want to marry Frances. I’ve made up my mind.”
Rosie asked, “Are you sure?”
She held her daughter’s hand tightly. “If you don’t want to, you can run away. Your father and I will cover for you
and say you ran off. Mina might not be happy, but she won’t dare to openly give us trouble. Your father and I have
thought it through. We’ve made enough money, we’re not greedy, and we just want you to be happy.” Daisy’s eyes
welled up, and she took a deep breath. “Mom, I’ve decided, I want to marry Frances. No matter how hard the road
ahead is, I want to be by his side. Even if his health isn’t good, I’m willing to take care of him. I’ve known him for
half a month. I think he’s a good guy, not like what I thought before. Maybe, things aren’t as bad as they seem.”
Tears welled up in Rosie’s eyes too. Daisy threw herself into Rosie’s arms. “Mom, I don’t feel hurt. I used to think
that with so many guys chasing me, I was always picky. I wanted to marry someone I loved, but now I think I’ve
found him. Frances and, we share the same passion; the movie we watched together today was a type we both
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmliked.”
Rosie couldn’t quite believe it. She was afraid her daughter was deceiving her to make her feel at ease. “Really?”
“Really,” Daisy said as she handed over a book. “This is the book I brought today, he likes it too. He’d spend the
whole afternoon discussing books and movies with me. When I’m with him, time flies, I’d find myself unknowingly
staring at him while he talks.”
There was something Daisy didn’t say. She thought she must be falling for him.
Seeing her daughter’s earnest expression, Rosie said, “In that case, your father and I can rest easy.”
Daisy lightly touched the necklace around her neck. This afternoon, she went to the jewelry factory and picked out
a piece of aquamarine rough stone.
Following the style of the amethyst necklace around her neck, she personally polished a blue necklace that looked
just the same. The next time she saw Frances, she planned on giving it to him..
She was ready to tell Mina; she was willing to move into the Boswell’s.
