No mother would want her daughter to marry a notorious good-for-nothing man.

Mary Perryne was no exception.

Previously, when Viola Thompson was stuck in River City, it was understandable, but now she has returned to Capital City.

Mary Perryne looked at her daughter and said, “Viola, you don’t have any ties to River City anymore, and naturally, you don’t have any connection to Terrence Lentz either. Besides, your engagement to him was a joke to begin with. I hope you can distance yourself from him in the future. You deserve better.”

Viola had a bright future ahead of her, and she was still young. She would undoubtedly meet better men in the future.

There was no need to waste time on someone like Terrence Lentz.

Viola looked at her mother, answering gently, “Mom, no one can force me to do anything I don’t want to do.”

Mary Perryne frowned slightly, “Viola, what do you mean?”

For a moment, she didn’t understand what Viola meant.

Viola looked serious and continued, “Mom, even though I’ve cut ties with the Thompson Clan, it doesn’t affect my engagement to Terrence.”

In River City, everyone knew that Terrence was a good-for-nothing man.

Viola’s answer was beyond Mary’s expectations.

Mary’s eyes widened as she stared at Viola, her eyes filled with shock.

As Viola continued, “Mom, you only know the opinions people have of Terrence, but you don’t know him. He isn’t as bad as you think. During the time I was cut off from the Thompson Clan, he was always there to help me. He’s a great man. So, I’m going to stand by him.”

Actually, money didn’t matter to Viola – she didn’t lack any.

The most important thing was, Terrence was good-looking.

Viola was a sucker for appearances!

Seeing a handsome man every day could make her eat a few more bowls of rice.

Thinking of this, Viola’s eyes sparkled.

Who could resist a future husband with an eight-pack?

Mary had a hard time digesting this fact, and said, “Viola, you’re still young, you don’t understand the true meaning of love and marriage. If one person says Terrence is no good, it might be a misunderstanding, but when a group of people say there’s a problem with him, then there must be a problem.”

Viola was only eighteen years old.

A simple and naive age, at this stage of her life, a girl could easily be deceived.

Without a doubt, Viola must have been tricked by Terrence.

Mary paused for a moment, “So, Viola, I hope you can really think about this issue. Terrence isn’t a good match for you!”

“Mom, I’ve thought it through carefully,” Viola said, her eyes serious.

Mary Perryne sighed softly, feeling more guilty inside.

If she hadn’t lost Viola in the first place, Viola wouldn’t have experienced all these things and be deceived by others.

“Viola, marriage is a major event in a person’s life, not just talk,” Mary Perryne said earnestly, “And, your life is long, you will meet various types of people on your journey. Terrence is just a passing encounter in your life.”

Viola looked at her mother, understanding her worries from a mother’s perspective, “I know what you’re saying, and I understand you’re thinking about what’s best for me. But please trust me, I have the ability to tell right from wrong.”

Seeing Viola’s insistence, Mary decided not to argue further. She just held Viola’s hand and said, “Viola, promise me that you’ll always protect yourself and remain vigilant at all times.”

A woman’s IQ tends to drop to zero when she falls in love.

Mary was worried that the more Viola was entangled with Terrence, the more she would finally give her entire self to him.

Some decisions, once taken, could never be reversed.

Although Viola was very smart and mature for her age, she was still just a teenager.

“Mom, don’t worry.”

Mary patted Viola’s hand, saying, “Viola, you’ve suffered a lot over the years, and now that you’re back, I hope you can always be happy, safe, and full of joy for the rest of your life.”

Having gone through so much, she didn’t need her daughter to be outstanding. All she wanted was Viola’s genuine happiness.

That was enough.

After leaving Viola’s room, Sawyer Thompson saw his wife’s worried expression and laughed, “Now that Viola is back, what are you still worried about?”

Mary Perryne sighed.

As a mother, her heart would never stop worrying.

“Viola has an engagement in River City,” Mary replied.

Sawyer Thompson didn’t take the matter seriously, laughing and saying, “Viola is now my daughter, what does her engagement in River City have to do with her?”
