Please Give Me Some Time

Meanwhile, 

At President Astington's official residence, Sean Spenser sat in the spacious and luxurious living room, tense as he faced his parents, Jayson Spenser and Emily Stearn. He didn't like the reason they summoned him here today.

"My son," Emily Stearn softly called. "You understand why we called you here, right?"

"Yes, Mother. I understand," Sean faintly responded, silently sighing deeply, knowing his parents wanted to discuss his marriage again.

Sean despised it when his parents brought up the topic of his marriage. But he couldn't stop them now because of his promise.

"Sean, I heard from Amanda that you liked a girl. But, a few days ago, when I asked her again, your aunt said you no longer see the girl. What happened? Did she reject you?" Emily asked innocently.

When Sean heard his mother's question, it felt like a hundred nails stabbed his heart. His wounded heart hurt again, remembering his dashed hopes for Bella.
