Mrs. Von's expression was serious. Although she often enjoyed scolding Ava Kent, after all, Ava was her only daughter, and no mother wishes for anything but the best for her child.
She herself had failed to see clearly in the past, encountering a jerk and suffering a lifetime. She didn't want Ava to follow the same path.
When this serious topic suddenly came up, Julius Goodman also felt a bit nervous. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "Mrs. Von, I know Ava just turned twenty not long ago and hasn't graduated from college yet. If I were to be with her, you would surely be unhappy.
But no matter what, there are some things I must say, because you are my elder, and aside from my mom, you are the person I respect the most, so I don't want to lie to you."
Mrs. Von, upon hearing this, realized that her guess about the two of them was likely correct, but she did not interrupt Julius; instead, she listened quietly.
