He guiltily lifted his eyes toward Lysander, his voice wavering as he confessed, "My dad has a really good friend, who has a daughter. When I was little, there was talk of a childhood engagement or something...

Michelle cut in swiftly, “What century are we living in that we're still talking about childhood engagements? We should be embracing free love now, right Lysander?" Lysander offered no response, her silence hanging in the air.

Thus, Michelle turned to seek advice from Zachary once more.

However, even Zachary's demeanor had shifted. "Calvin, have you met the girl?" he asked.

"I've seen her before." "Does she know about this childhood engagement?" "Yes... she does." "What's her opinion on it?" "She... neither agreed nor disagreed." Zachary chuckled softly, "I see." Calvin's complexion had turned ashen. “But I will make things clear with my family," he insisted.

"When did you first learn about this childhood engagement?" "Probably when I was around four or five years old?" "You turned eighteen this year, and you've known since you were four or five. So, you've basically been living with the idea of this childhood engagement for over a decade, right?" Zachary probed further.

Calvin was at a loss. “I was just a kid then. I had no idea who I'd end up falling for. You can't hold this against me; it's just not fair." Hearing this, Zachary's expression turned stern. "You've been seeing Michelle for quite a while now, haven't you? During this time, you've even found a girl you truly like. Why haven't you clarified things with your family yet? Even if you don't bring up the topic of having a girlfriend, have you ever once objected to the childhood engagement?" Calvin bit his lip, falling silent.

"Apex City and Harborbrook, one in the south and the other in the north, are over a thousand kilometers. apart. The climate differences are significant. You want a girl to leave her hometown and go to Apex City to study for you, risking her own future and destiny. Yet, you haven't even resolved your own family issues?" Michelle's anxiety escalated as she watched. "Zachary, what are you doing? Weren't you supporting us before..." "Shut up." Lysander interrupted sharply, glaring at her. "Why are you interrupting when Zachary is speaking? 415 PM The Charming Ex-Wife Michelle, always intimidated by her older sister, could read the unease on the latter's face. Although she was inwardly anxious, she dared not utter another word.

Zachary continued, “Calvin, as a man, if you truly care about a girl, you need to consider her feelings more. Your grades aren't suited for studying in wtor Harborbrook, you want to study in Abex City. But have you thought about Michelle? Her family and sister are all in Harborbrook, and her grades are good enough for the world-class universities here. She has relatives and friends here. But if she follows you to Apex City, what can you promise her?"

Calvin replied defiantly, "This is between Michelle and me. As long as Michelle is willing, you have no right to interfere. We love each other, and if she wants to go to Apex City with me, that's her choice. Even her parents can't deny her the right to make that decision." "Fine," Lysander said nonchalantly, "I won't interfere with her freedom to love. Let Michelle make her own decisions. Let's go, Zachary," Zachary's face was etched with disagreement. "Lysander...

"Let's go," Lysander urged, turning to look at Michelle. She pulled several bills from her wallet, handing them to Michelle. "I'll head back with Zachary first. The bus services are probably done for the day. You should take a taxi home. Have a good talk with him. If you're still adamant about it, I'll talk to Mom and Dad for you." Send Gifts X
