Chapter 418 Searching For a Boyfriend for You

• Penny usually lived in her own house. However, Lara called her today and told her to come home for dinner. Hence, she was quite surprised. After all, her mother didn’t seem like the type to call her back for dinner without reason. Rather, she was a workaholic—the kind of strong, independent woman who poured her entire soul into her career—who normally showed very little concern for Penny. Naturally, Penny did not rely much on her mother either. Thus, the relationship between mother and daughter was rather estranged. I depend on Eugene more than I depend on my mom. No! We are more like strangers to each other!
• As soon as Penny arrived home, she had the feeling that Lara probably had something to talk to her about. Her mother had only ever had three serious discussions with her throughout her life. The first time was during her high school entrance examinations. She had failed to obtain her mother’s ideal score. For that reason, her mother had told her to repeat the examinations. Thus, she obeyed. The second time was during her university entrance examinations. She wanted to enter art school, but her mother had forced her to change her aspirations and apply to study medicine. Thus, she obeyed again. The third time was when she had gotten herself a boyfriend in university. Her mother claimed that her boyfriend did not come from a good family and instructed her to break up with him. Thus, she obeyed again.
• What does she want me to do today? This is why I don’t like returning home. Every time I come home, my mom has a new order for me. That’s right; they are orders! Other people had warm memories of spending time with their mothers, but she was the only one with a cold and unfeeling mother who did not allow her to disobey her orders!
