Sherry frowned, "Mom, don't say that ..."

Mrs. Perry waved her hand, "I don’t want to talk to you anymore. I've already said what I need to say

anyway, and what to do next is up to you."

Back at home, Sherry was much quieter.

Mrs. Perry was cooking in the kitchen, and she was standing on the balcony when she received a

message from Elliot.

Elliot texted: Did you have a hard time just now? I'm sorry. I didn't expect Mrs. Perry to show up out of

the blue either ...

Sherry took a deep breath and adjusted her mood as she typed her reply.

Sherry texted: Nothing, what time do you get off work in the afternoon? Can I come to your school for a

walk?

Elliot texted: I'm getting off at five. You can come straight over.

Sherry texted: Okay.

During dinner, Mr. Perry saw her sulking and asked, "Sherry, what's wrong with you? You went to ask

Uncle Bennett for help this morning, right? Didn't things work out?"

Sherry shook her head before saying again, "No, Uncle Bennett is quite nice and nothing is wrong. I

just ..."

Mrs. Perry continued, "She just didn't sleep well last night. Forget about her. Let's eat."

Mr. Perry continued, "Then go in and take a nap after dinner, and when you wake up, go and have fun

with your friends. You haven't been back for a while either."

Sherry let out a breath, "No need. I've got a date with Elliot this afternoon and I'm going to hang out at

his school."

Mrs. Perry and Mr. Perry both paused, and after exchanging glances for a moment, Mrs. Perry eased

her tone, "Dating is good. In terms of being a partner, Elliot is better in every way than Brandon...

Anyway, it's a good thing that you chose him. Don't you worry!"

Sherry had wanted to try to get along with Elliot because she wanted to make them happy, but before

she even started, her mother mentioned marriage, so the rebellious feeling in her heart rose up again.

She whispered, "Who said I was going on a date with him? There are so many boys in the university. I

can find one there."

Seeing that his wide was about to get angry again, Mr. Perry hastened to persuade her, "Okay, okay,

let's eat."

Sherry also felt that it had gone to far by saying such words in front of them and muttered, "I'm just

kidding."

Mrs. Perry grunted, "You'd better be!"

After dinner, Sherry went to her room and took a nap.

It wasn't even three o'clock when she was pulled up by her mother, "Aren't you going to see Elliot?

Hurry up!"

Sherry narrowed her eyes, "It's still early. He doesn't get off work until five. I'll just leave at 4:30."

"It’s not early! Aren't you going to put on your makeup? You're dragging your feet, and by the time

you're done putting on your makeup, it'll be too late!"

Mrs. Perry yanked her up from the bed and stared at her intently.

Sherry had no choice but to put on a simple make-up.

Mrs. Perry was satisfied, "That's more like it! This is my daughter. So beautiful!"

Sherry retorted, "I am not your daughter. I'm a tool for you to have grandchildren."

Mrs. Perry hit her, "How can you talk like that?"

Sherry put her things away, "I'm leaving."

"Wait." Mrs. Perry came up next to her and whispered, "You didn't put that thing in your bag, did you?"

Sherry froze for two seconds before yelling, "Mum!"

How could she still have that in her bag!

Mrs. Perry said, "I was worried about you. In case Elliot sees it. You would leave a bad impression on

him."

Sherry didn't want to pay any attention to her and quickly walked away.

When she arrived at school, it was only half-past four.

Sherry had nothing else to do, so she wandered around the campus.

Everywhere she looked, there were couples holding hands and smiling sweetly at each other.

There were also plenty of boys sweating on the basketball court.

Sherry stopped and watched, and couldn't help but feel ...

Ah, how nice to be young!

It wasn't long before a boy ran up to her and said as he panted, "Hey, can I have your phone number?"

Sherry turned her head and looked around before pointing uncertainly at herself, "Me?"

The boy nodded and asked tentatively, "Is that inconvenient?"

Sherry smiled, "I'm 25, not your classmate anymore."

At this time, Elliot also walked over, "Sherry, there you are."

Sherry said, "I saw that you were still off work, so I took a casual walk."

Seeing this, the boy's face turned a little red, and he quickly said sorry and ran away. The sound of him

talking to his teammates came from a distance, "That's Mr. Ford's girlfriend! I've been screwed by you

guys!"

Elliot said, "So ... let's keep walking around?"

Sherry nodded, "Okay."

The two of them walked side by side through the campus and chatted casually.

Occasionally, there would be students greeting Elliot. He seemed to be quite well-liked at the school.

Elliot said, "I heard from your mother that you had a boyfriend for a few years before. How did you

break up?"

Sherry said, "He cheated on me, and I found out, so we broke up."

Elliot sighed, "I had a girlfriend before, but my mother said her job wasn't good, so we broke up too."

The corner of Sherry's mouth twitched and she didn't comment.

"I remember you were working as a photographer at City N, right? How are you getting on over there?

Have you ever considered coming back to work?"

"I haven't considered it for the moment. I'm doing quite well over there."

Hearing this, Elliot seemed a little embarrassed.

Sherry asked, "Did your mother say that she wanted you to stay here and find a girlfriend with a stable

job?"

"That's what my mum said ... but my mum also likes you very much. If we get married, she supports

your career too, but we'd have to have a baby first ..."

His mother's exact words were, "The job of taking pictures can be done anywhere. With a child

restraining her, she can't run to places as far as City N, and naturally, she will return to her family."

Sherry laughed and didn't comment on that, but she just said, "By the way, my mother hasn't told you

about me yet, has she?"

"She said ..."

"She knows just some of it. There's a lot she doesn't know." Sherry continued, "I've only had one

boyfriend, but I have a lover and we've slept together. I was with him two days ago too. We can go get

a marriage license tomorrow if you and your mother are okay with it."

Elliot stopped in his tracks, and his face turned stiff.

Sherry looked back, "What's wrong?"

Elliot said, "I... suddenly remembered I have to go to the director's office. Sorry about that! Bye!"

Sherry looked at his back, crossed her arms, and raised an eyebrow.

Well, she had tried to make contact with him and she had expressed her strong desire to get married.

The mission was over.

Sherry wandered around the school alone again and had enough of appreciating the young, vibrant

boys before heading home.

No sooner had she arrived home than she received a thrashing from Mrs. Perry.

Mrs. Perry asked, "Didn't you go on a date with Elliot? What were you babbling about with him!"
