Hard To Say Goodbye

Chapter 49 Family Feast

Happiness is something you fight for on your own. Nothing is gained without doing anything, and there

is no return if you don't pay, especially love.

The things that were too easy to get were easier to lose. On the contrary, the things that were obtained

through their own efforts, sacrifices, and struggle would be cherished, because they knew that it was

not easy to gain these things. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Hal knew that he used to be a jerk. He used to take love as a play, which hurt many girls' hearts, and

let himself bear a lot of emotional debts. He was deeply condemned in his heart.

But all these had been in the past. Since he met Nora, he decided to turn over a new leaf and be a new

person, breaking up with the cynical self.

As a result, Nora made Hal found the value and happiness of being a human being. During this period

of time, his achievements for the group were obvious to all, because he was talented and would not be

buried.

Love was just like this. Once you fell in love with someone, you couldn't extricate yourself from it.

There was nothing important in the group these days, and Hal's promise to have dinner with his mother

would be fulfilled today.

At home, Susie ordered the servants to prepare many dishes that Hal liked. She decided to cook some

good dishes for her son in the kitchen later.

In the evening, the lights in the Wang Family were all on. The family was busy inside and outside. What

a busy scene.

The sound of thunder came from the kitchen. It was Susie who was busy cooking in the kitchen and the

maid put the dishes on the table.

Occasionally, Howard would go to the kitchen to help Susie. But soon he was driven out and sat on the

sofa reading newspaper bored.

The food made by Susie and the dishes cooked by her were all said by the child, "There is mother's

smell in it." Every time she heard this, Susie felt so happy.

She had a husband who has loved her for half a life, and a pair of sensible children. Although Hal

sometimes made her angry, he was a filial child.

As a woman, she felt that she had no regrets in her life.

The smell of food wafted in the room, and everyone in the family had a smile on their faces. They were

very happy.

Hearing the sound of a car whistle, Susie knew that Hal has come back. The servant quickly ran out to

open the door, greeting Hal, who hasn't come back for several days.

When Hal entered the room, he saw his parents and his sister Jasmine waiting for him at the table.

After a simple wash, he sat beside his mother.

Because Jasmine said something wrong last time, her mother was unhappy. This family gathering, she

only ate food and did not dare to say anything. She was afraid that she would say something wrong

again if she was careless.

Jasmine was famous for her cleverness. She was the apple of Howard's eye and the cotton padded

jacket of Susie.

Hal reported to his father what has happened in the group recently. Although Howard had retired, he

had a deep feeling for the Sea Rise Group he founded by himself. He wanted to know as soon as

possible what has happened in the group. He was still worried about Hal and felt that he hasn't grown

up.

"It's not easy for him to come back. Don't ask about work. Let him have a good rest and have a

holiday," said Susie to Howard.

Looking at his mother, Hal said naughtily, "Mom, you still feel sorry for me. You are so nice."

Jasmine pouted and said to Hal, "You are mother's own child. I was picked up. OK?"

Howard looked at the two with a smile and said, "They are still jealous."

After saying that, the whole family laughed. What a happy and harmonious family.

Looking at her son, Susie asked tentatively, "I heard that you have been in love recently. Which family

is the girl from?"

Hal looked at his mother and said, "No, nothing. Who told you that?"

Susie said, "Your father and I are not old-fashioned people. If you like that girl, bring her here when you

have time and let us have a look."

Hal looked at his mother in astonishment. He couldn't believe his ears. He asked Jasmine to pinch his

face and felt very painful. It turned out that it was true, not a dream.

He didn't know if it was his mother's plan. Veterans are abler than recruits. He promised his mother to

bring his girlfriend back when she had time and let his parents see her.

Hal, didn't you think about it? It was a big family enterprise. How could you decide your marriage?

Besides, Nora was from a small town and had no background at all.

Putting aside these unreasonable reasons, from the beginning to now, Nora has never promised Hal

anything. This was completely Hal's one-sided love.

Nora didn't refuse decisively, because she didn't want to make Hal sad. Because of her indecision, Hal

misunderstood that she refused him because she was shy.

Now that his mother has said so, Hal was very happy. He was imagining that one day he would bring

Nora back and visit his parents.

Imagining was a good thing, but the reality was cruel. If Hal brought Nora to Howard and his wife, he

would see how Susie broke them up.

Looking at her brother, Jasmine wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought. She didn't

think her mother's words were as simple as Hal thought, because Jasmine was a kind girl. She didn't

want to see Nora sad.

Even so, Jasmine didn't dare to speak or express her opinion on this matter. She was thinking about

the opportunity to discuss it with her brother alone. Because of her carelessness, her mother didn't

want to forgive her now.

She could only pray for herself now.

People who fell into the whirlpool of love could make people dizzy, and that was right.

If his mind was normal, based on Hal's intelligence, he could tell his mother's intention at a glance. How

could his mother meet a girl who she didn't know, and let her come to their home?

Jasmine had her own reason to think about it. She could stop it. If it happened, at least it wouldn't hurt

this innocent girl, Nora.

Jasmine hasn't known Nora for a long time, and she didn't tell her the truth. She used some means to

get her phone number and home address. It was just for helping Hal.

She felt that her brother was just on a whim and would not really fall in love with Nora. But this time, her

brother had a true feeling for her.

A good friend, her brother and her mother, Jasmine didn't want to see one of them unhappy. She

planned the whole thing by herself.

The things started with her, so the problem should be solved by herself. She should try her best to

minimize the damage.

Looking at her brother's happy smile, Jasmine felt very uncomfortable.
