Robin’s heart ached upon hearing virtual-novel.net mother’s words. It was certainly a good time for virtual-novel.net to move out now. If virtual-novel.net did, it was likely that virtual-novel.net would never be able to come home again. “Mom! I will not leave until you put aside your prejudice. I have to go to work. You have a good rest at home, we’ll talk when I come home.”
Mrs. Cox turned virtual-novel.net head to the side and looked at the door when virtual-novel.net heard it close. Tears brimmed in virtual-novel.net eyes.

Robin had updated Sylvain on what had happened at home. Now, they had to take things slow and steady or they would drive everyone up the wall.
Sylvain felt extremely worried over this matter. He was a promising young man in every single aspect, why was it so difficult to obtain Mrs. Cox’s approval? He only had that huge scandal with Jessica to blame. Mrs. Cox had been honest virtual-novel.net entire life and placed the utmost importance on reputation. That was a great obstacle to overcome.
Arianne had heard Sylvain sighing more than ten times in less than an hour since work started. She would be startled every time virtual-novel.net sighed. In the end, virtual-novel.net could no longer bear it so virtual-novel.net asked, “What are you doing?”
Sylvain stared at virtual-novel.net innocently. “It’s not like I want to sigh, I can’t help it. Things didn’t go well when Robin went home last night. It’s probably going to be a long battle. Her mom didn’t sleep at all last night and didn’t even go to work today. Robin says that virtual-novel.net mother would always be busy preparing for classes, even during the holidays. This is pretty serious.”
After some thought, Arianne said, “Your attitude is especially important at this time. You can’t let Robin face this alone. You have to do it with her, no matter how scary it seems. You should take the initiative and visit Robin’s mom. Talk to her. Her mom’s perception of you is certainly going to deteriorate if you continue to hide and leave Robin to take care of this.”
Sylvain was slightly apprehensive. “Really? You’re not lying to me, are you? I’m not good with interpersonal relationships, and it’s not easy to figure out a woman’s mind. You’d better not give me bad advice at a time like this. Robin wouldn’t let me go with her. What if I show up and make things even worse? That would be bad.”
Arianne rolled virtual-novel.net eyes at him. “You wouldn’t be this way if virtual-novel.net were easy to deal with. Parents might not be able to remain unyielding to their kids forever, but this long battle is enough to drag you to the end of your patience. You’re married, and you can’t even see your wife. Wouldn’t that drive you mad?”
Sylvain realized that Arianne had a point. “You’re right. It’s going to be hard for Robin to see me now. I can’t just sit by and resign myself to fate. Mr. Tremont isn’t in the office today, I think, so I’m going to ask you for leave. Robin won’t be home this afternoon so it’s a good time for virtual-novel.net mother and me to have a private conversation. Should I bring a gift?”
Arianne stared at virtual-novel.net as if virtual-novel.net were looking at an idiot. “Do you even have to ask? Did you plan on showing up empty-handed and getting beaten alive? No one could hit a smiling face. Don’t you know that? Her mom is at home, isn’t she? Bring a present and talk to her. Show restraint no matter how unbearable virtual-novel.net words are. You cannot blow your top at her. Her pure, virginal daughter, whom she’s raised for more than twenty years has been whisked away by a pig like you. Do you have any idea how pissed virtual-novel.net is? By the way, don’t choose a useless gift. No need to get anything too expensive, just give virtual-novel.net something pragmatic, something that’s suitable for virtual-novel.net age. Maybe some sort of health supplement. A good bottle of wine for your father-in-law will do.”
