By this point, David even reached out to hold Mabie's hand. It caught her off guard.

Mabie was confused by the sudden turn of events.

She stared at David strangely.

"What's gotten into you?" she asked.

David was speechless.

Mabie continued to stare at him. Then she said, "Did you hit your head hard during the accident? Should I get the doctor?"

David was speechless.

He could no longer maintain the smile on his face, and the emotions that were surging within him had disappeared completely.

He should not have talked to Mabie so emotionally.

"No, what's the matter with you? Why are you acting like this? David, don't scare me, are you..."

"Forget it." David interrupted her and said helplessly, "It's only because I had a near-death experience that I'm much more open-minded now. There's no need to be calculative amongst family. It might be late for me to admit it, but better late than never, right? Why must you think that something is wrong with me?"

Mabie was stunned for a moment. When she came back to her senses, she had a look of realisation on her face.

"Oh, that's what it is. I was wondering why you sounded like a normal person for once..."

David was speechless.

Forget it, it was best if he stopped talking. Otherwise, he might die of anger.

"By the way, David. I realized that Amelia likes to come over to our house these days. She would always ask me about Vivy. I have a feeling she wants to set up a blind date for her."

David frowned upon hearing her words. He said, "Why would she want to do that? Why can't she mind her own business and stop being a matchmaker? Now that Vivy is finally back, it's better not to bother her with these things."

Mabie nodded in agreement. "You say that, but I still think it's best if we keep a lookout for Vivy. What if the boy is eligible? We can at least ask Vivy to give it a try. If he isn't, then we can at least decline on her behalf. After all, she's not getting any younger. She would have to get married eventually. It's not too early to talk about it."

David felt that her words were quite reasonable, so he nodded and said, "Fine, you can do as you please as long as you don't scare her away." "Don't worry. Do you think I am like you?" David was speechless.

Sigh, he had a feeling that his wife was never going to let him live it down.

However, after surviving this accident, David felt that it was nice to have this kind of life.

It was now that he learned to cherish these kinds of moments.

When Vera came to visit in the afternoon, she brought them the lunch that she had prepared. At the beginning, it was Mabie who would always prepare lunch.

However, one day, Vera decided to make lunch. David and Mabie were amazed by Vera's cooking after tasting her food. Ever since then, Mabie insisted that Vera cooked every day. She told Vera that she did not want to enter the kitchen again.

Just like at this moment, while Mabie was eating her daughter's delicious cooking, she asked, "Vera, what have you been working as these past few years? You look thinner than before, but your cooking skills have improved so much. Did you work as a cook overseas?"

Vera couldn't believe her mother would think like that. She said, "No way! I've been working as a designer all these years. My friend and I lived on takeouts for a while, but then I decided to cook more since I had a lot of time on my hands. That way, I was able to satisfy my cravings as well as my friends'."

Mabie said, "So that's how it is."

David's eyes fell on her face. "I heard from your mother that while you were abroad all these years..."

As if guessing what David was going to say next, Vera coughed softly and interrupted David. Then stared at her parents.

"Mom, Dad, I have something to discuss with you."

"What's the matter?"

"Tell us about it."

Vera held a bowl of hot soup in her hand. She drank it while saying, "I want to replace a place near our area and open up a restaurant. What do you think?"

David and Mabie were stunned when they heard their daughter's words.

"You want to open a restaurant?"

Vera nodded and said, "Yes, as you all know, my cooking has improved a lot. So, I was thinking of opening a restaurant near our neighborhood. It would also be convenient for me to take care of you two. If the restaurant does well, then I plan to settle down here."

David and his wife looked at each other and did not answer.

Vera continued, "Besides, I really enjoy cooking. Also, I think once you've recovered from your injuries, you should quit your job. Although the job at Yardley Corporation is quite good, it's rather toilsome want you to be able to enjoy dife like your peers. You can go out for a walk, stay at home and watch some TV. You can also occasionally go

and hang out with your friends."

Mabie blinked her eyes. Her daughter had everything planned out for them in the latter half of their lives. She thought for a moment and then asked, "Us aside, have you thought about how you want to do this restaurant? After all, you're a girl and you're not married yet. Once you've open a restaurant, you're going to be extremely busy, how are you going to manage?"

"Mom, I can still run a restaurant even though I'm not married. I don't have to rely on men. If there is no one to help me, I can ask for help managed to save up quite a bit these past few years, so you don't have to worry about me. In short... I just want to discuss the location. Where do you think is strategic?"

David finally understood.

"I know what you're trying to say. Since you want to start a business, as parents, we will definitely help you. You don't have to worry about money. You are our only daughter. You have our full support." "Mom, Dad, those are your hard-earned money. You should keep it and spend it on something that you like. You don't have to work anymore. Don't worry about the capital for my restaurant. I have enough." "You're just a young girl, how would you have so much money? You would need a huge capital to start a restaurant. You would also need money to buy furniture and kitchen equipment. These things cost a lot. You..."

"Don't worry, I really have money."

She had made a lot of money by working for Minerva all these years.

Minerva was a designer. Vera had always been by her side helping her and Minerva had never mistreated her. Furthermore, after Minerva started her own company, she treated her even better.

Of course, the treatment was only one aspect. On the other hand, Minerva would also give her all sorts of bonuses, especially her year-end bonus. It was a generous amount.

Every time Minerva rewarded her, she would say

that she deserved it.

Of course, Vera told her parents about this job. Otherwise, they would think that she had been fooling around abroad all these years. It was a decent amount of savings after all. When David and Mabie heard their daughter's words, they heaved a sigh of relief.

Mabie was very happy. "It sounds like your boss treats you very well and is very capable. A designer at such a young age. When are you planning to invite your boss over to our house? We should properly thank her."
