Perhaps as parents, their biggest wish was for their child to be carefree and happy, not to be sad for anyone, and not to need to take a breath from others to live the life they had wanted to live. Looking at their daughter's innocent smile under the camera, these words had become Catherine's one and only internal speech.

She really didn't want anything, just her daughter's happiness.

If anyone wanted to bring her sadness, she couldn't bear it.

Mary took the final shot and rushed anxiously towards her mother while wearing her thin clothes.

The assistant gave her a coat and she put it on before rubbing her hands together and breathing heavily. She stood in front of her mother and said, "Mom, I'm so nervous standing here. It's best if you don't come to the movies, my smile is unnatural."

Seeing his daughter's bashful expression, Catherine could only nod his head and agree: "Alright, then I won't be coming to the movies tomorrow. I'll be waiting for you at home, I'll cook good food for you until you come back to eat."

"That works!" Mary nodded, smiling happily.

Catherine passed a cup of hot ginger tea to her, and then Mary took a sip. She immediately frowned: "It's so spicy!"

"You're weak, and have been cold for so long. Drink some tea to warm your body." Only parents would be so selfless as to think for their children.

"Alright, I'll drink it!" Mary already could not remember when she forgot to do the right thing with her mother. In the past, she would always do the opposite of what Catherine told her to do, but she would not do anything to prove that she was right and got scolded a lot.

Now, she didn't want to object to what her mother was saying at all.

Mary sat in her mother's car and drove to her own apartment. After filming for an entire day, she only wanted to lie on her bed and do nothing.

When he reached the apartment building, he suddenly saw a familiar black car parked in front of the residential complex.

That eye-catching license plate caused Mary's sleepiness to disappear as her entire person shook.

Catherine also saw it, of course she recognized that it was Leo's car.

"Why is he here?" Catherine frowned.

"Mom, I'll go down and see him." Mary looked to be begging, afraid that his mother would not agree.

"Wait, don't get out of the car. I'm going to talk to him!" Catherine saw through his daughter's impatience and immediately stopped her.

"Mom, what are you talking about? Don't you dare scold me!" Mary said worriedly.

However, Catherine said self-deprecatingly, "I am still not his mother-in-law, how can I have the power to scold him? I just have to talk to him. Don't worry, I won't do anything to him."

Although mother said that, Mary still clenched her heart. Her two small hands leaned on the window as she watched his mother push open the door and walk towards the black car.

Maybe because he saw Catherine, Leo who was sitting in the carriage, quickly got out of the car. Dressed in a black, thin windbreaker, it made him look extremely noble, her handsome face looked much thinner, but there was also a sharp and stern beauty to him.

The moment he saw him, Mary noticed that this man had lost a lot of weight, and felt an indescribable pain in his heart.

Leo walked quickly towards Catherine with a respectful expression: "Cousin, why are you here?"

When he saw Catherine, he still called her Cousin.

Catherine pointed to a railing not far away: "Come over there and have a chat."

"Is Mary in the car?" Leo's gloomy eyes could not help but look towards the carriage.

Separated by a certain distance, Mary's heart inexplicably trembled. Even though she knew that the other party would not be able to see him, she still felt extremely moved.

Catherine nodded, "Yes, let her meet you in a while. We need to chat."

Leo's handsome face stiffened. He had already guessed what Catherine wanted to tell him.

Leo stood behind Catherine. Without directly turning his head to look at him, he only smiled and said: "Leo, to be honest, the age difference isn't too great between us, and from a young age until now, I have always been able to pay attention to you, because you are very outstanding, very outstanding, and the person we have been studying with. I never expected that after my daughter grew up, she would actually fall in love with you, and moreover, love you so much, I am actually very satisfied with you."

Leo's expression shook, then he humbly said: "Thank you cousin for your praise. To be honest, I am not omnipotent, but my feelings for Mary are definitely sincere."

Since you truly love her, then of course I am happy. Her birth is a mistake, and she has lacked too much love since she was young. I can see that she is very happy with you, and this happiness comes from the bottom of her heart. Catherine turned her head to look at him, also sizing up his reaction.

Leo nodded his head, "I know, my mom thinks that I am not suitable for Mary, but I will not waver in my resolve. Recently, I have been begging her for her consent, but my mom is stubborn, and she might need sometime..."

"If you can't persuade her, then let go. I believe that you are indeed worthy of a better woman to accompany you for the rest of your life. My daughter is still young, and she is still ignorant about matters of the heart. Catherine folded his hands in his pockets, speaking casually but also carrying a touch of ridicule.

"No, I can't let go!" Leo was stunned. Anxiety flashed across his handsome face and he sincerely said: "Cousin sister, I know that this matter has hurt the trust you and Mary have in me. Please give me some time, I will definitely convince my mother and I will let her know that Mary is the woman I want to marry."

"But I heard that your mother is looking everywhere for a suitable match for you. Furthermore, she even said that my family's Mary's request for you to get married and have children within a year is impossible. Catherine was still full of ridicule.

The expression on Leo's face completely froze. Briana had also told him before that he had to marry and have children as soon as possible.

"Mary is only nineteen years old. She hasn't reached the legal age for marriage yet, so it's even more impossible to have a child. I won't let her walk my path again and have a child when she's still young. This is a huge harm to a woman's body and mind. I want to protect my daughter." After Catherine finished speaking, she walked resolutely in the direction of the carriage, without giving Leo any more hope.

Leo's strong body trembled, he froze on the spot, then suddenly turned his head to look, only to see Mary anxiously running out of the car. His eyes turned deep, the beautiful figure that was rushing towards him, instantly shattered all the determination and coldness in his mind.
