Mrs. Marsh's Revealed Identities novel (Jennifer and Ivan)
Chapter 1359: The Call Comes at a Bad Time

"What questions? Ask me now! Don't wait until we're in front of Tristan." Monica was particularly afraid that her mother would act out of the ordinary, "As long as I know the answer, I'll tell you everything!" "Of course, I won't ask in front of him." Belinda said, "That's why I'm driving. I just want to get some information from you."

The mother and daughter took the elevator downstairs.

Monica also had something to tell her, "Tonight is just a simple dinner, so don't ask too many questions. It'll be awkward since we're not at the stage of formally meeting the parents." "I know," Belinda thought. As the girl's mother, she had to ask what needed to be asked.

"Mom." Monica took her arm as they left the elevator and reminded her again, "Tristan and I haven't been dating for very long, so you don't have to discuss deep topics. It's not time yet."

But Belinda said to her, "I know what I should do. However, whether it's dating or getting married, there are some things I need to discuss with him as your mother. This is based on my love for you." "Ah??" The girl was startled, "What do I need to explain? It's a free love era now. Parents don't worry about it much, as long as we think it's appropriate."

Getting in the car, Belinda started the engine and asked her, "Does he have a romantic history? I couldn't replace anything online, did he deliberately erase it?"

"I don't think so?" She didn't know either, she wasn't even Tristan's girlfriend, how could she know about his past?

"I don't think so?" Belinda emphasized the word 'think,' casting a doubtful glance at her daughter, "You don't even know his past? Does he have ex-girlfriends? How many ex-girlfriends? Do you know that men can never forget their first love?"

"No, no, there's none." Monica was not looking forward to dinner tonight, worried that things might go wrong, "He has no romantic history!" She declared confidently, though it was just a guess.

Belinda started the car, asked her daughter for the restaurant's location, and started the navigation. She couldn't help but sigh, "It seems sincere enough, a good location. This meal will cost at least a hundred thousand."

Monica became increasingly uneasy. Was Tristan really this formal? She felt like she owed him so much!

Her right eyelid kept twitching, as if something bad was about to happen.

It wasn't until the phone in her hand rang that Monica was taken aback, thinking it was Tristan calling. She glanced at the screen, and it was actually her father!

Instinctively, she rejected the call. Before she could mute her phone, Algerone Swain called again.

"Who is it? Why don't you pick up?" Belinda glanced at her while driving, "What are you trying to hide from me?"

"My dad..."

Monica confessed in a low voice while holding the ringing phone, "I didn't want to answer because it might upset you, but I can guarantee that I didn't tell him I came to Arkpool City! This is the first call." "Answer it!" Belinda instructed while driving, "Turn on the speakerphone for me."

The phone continued to ring.

Monica took a deep breath and didn't think much about it. She slid her finger over the answer button, "Hello, Dad," and turned on the speakerphone.

"You're in Arkpool City?" Algerone Swain asked excitedly, "When did you come?"

Monica was happy to hear that and glanced at her mother, as if to say, see, I didn't lie to you just now, did I?

Belinda's face was cold, and she listened attentively.

Her daughter replied, "I just arrived, how did you know?"

"When did you get together with Tristan?" The middle-aged man asked with a chuckle, "Your Uncle Clarke called me and said you two were together. Is it true?"

"Yes." Monica didn't want to talk about her feelings, because it was all lies; she felt guilty lying.

"I'm so happy!" Her father laughed, "How is it? Isn't the boy I introduced to you good? When it comes to marriage, you must listen to your father!"

Hearing this, Belinda's face changed, and she slammed on the brakes!

The car came to a sudden stop by the roadside!

Due to inertia, Monica, who was wearing a seatbelt, was flung forward, and her phone almost flew out of her hand while she was on the call.
