Chapter 3 - Overcoming Obstacles

King and Adrianna's relationship continued to blossom as they spent more time together. They went on walks, visited museums, and even cooked meals together. They were learning more and more about each other with each passing day, and they were falling deeper in love.

Despite their growing love for each other, however, King and Adrianna faced a few obstacles in their relationship. For one, their families were not very supportive of their relationship. They came from very different backgrounds, and their families had a hard time accepting their relationship.

King's family was very traditional, and they wanted him to marry someone from their same cultural background. Adrianna's family, on the other hand, was concerned that King wasn't ambitious enough and wouldn't be able to provide for their daughter in the long run.

King and Adrianna's families were a source of tension for the couple, causing them to feel like they were constantly walking on eggshells around their loved ones. It seemed like every time they brought up their relationship, it would lead to an argument or disagreement.

One day, King decided to invite Adrianna over to his family's house for dinner. He hoped that his family would see how happy he was with her and accept their relationship.

As they sat down for dinner, King's mother began asking Adrianna about her family background and her career aspirations. When Adrianna shared her dreams of becoming a social worker, King's mother raised an eyebrow and made a comment about how it was not a "stable" profession.

Feeling hurt and frustrated, Adrianna began to defend her chosen career path. King tried to intervene, but the conversation quickly devolved into an argument.

Eventually, King's father stepped in and reminded everyone that they were all here to enjoy a meal together, not to argue. He suggested they change the topic and talk about something more pleasant.

After dinner, King took Adrianna aside and apologized for his family's behavior. He assured her that he loved and respected her, and that his family's opinions didn't change that.

Adrianna appreciated King's words, but she couldn't help but feel frustrated. She wanted to be with King, but she also didn't want to come between him and his family.

The next week, Adrianna invited King over to her family's house for dinner. Her family was more welcoming towards King, but they were still skeptical about their relationship.

As they sat down for dinner, Adrianna's father began to question King about his future plans and career aspirations. King felt uncomfortable and defensive, but he remained polite and respectful.

Adrianna's mother, sensing the tension, tried to diffuse the situation by asking King about his interests and hobbies. King opened up about his love of books and his dream of opening a bookstore one day.

As he spoke, Adrianna's family began to warm up to him. They could see the passion in his eyes and the dedication he had towards his goals.

After dinner, Adrianna's mother pulled her aside and expressed her concerns about King's career prospects. She wanted her daughter to be with someone who was financially stable and could provide for her.

Adrianna felt torn. She loved King, but she also didn't want to disappoint her family. She didn't know how to reconcile her feelings with her family's expectations.

When she shared her worries with King, he reassured her that they would work things out together. He reminded her that he loved her for who she was, not for her job or her family background.

Over time, King and Adrianna continued to work on their relationship, despite the obstacles they faced. They had open and honest conversations about their concerns, and they learned how to support each other through the tough times.

As they navigated their differences, they realized that their love was worth fighting for. They were each other's first love, and they were determined to make it work, no matter what.
