Chapter 1251:

At the same time, the door opened from inside in response to their knock. When Levy had investigated Flossie, he had come across pictures of her parents. Therefore, upon seeing them in person, he recognized them almost immediately.

As soon as Flossie opened the door and saw her parents with Levy standing behind them, she frowned. Mekhi and Yvonne looked at Levy, puzzled.

“Who are you, young man?” Mekhi asked.

Levy replied with a smile, “Mr. and Mrs. Yount, I’m Flossie’s boyfriend. I—”

“No, that’s not true!” Flossie quickly cut in. “He has a grudge against me, so he just came here to stir up trouble!”

As she spoke, she dragged her parents into the house. Then she poked her head out and said to Levy with an angry glare, “You’d better watch your mouth!” She slammed the door in his face, leaving him outside again.

Mekhi and Yvonne exchanged a glance but said nothing. They now had a better understanding of what was going on.

They entered the living room and began to question their daughter.

“What happened between you and that man?” Yvonne asked.

“Mom, he’s just one of my colleagues at work,” Flossie lied. “We’re both working on a project, and he’s been pestering me because he wants me to back out.”

She had come up with this excuse only moments ago.

“Really?” Mekhi sneered and shook his head in disappointment. “Dear, I know you’re lying to us about who that man is.”

Flossie lowered her eyes and pursed her lips, unsure what else to say. Her mother was gentler. Yvonne held her hand and asked in a soft tone, “Darling, is that man your suitor? Or is he your ex-boyfriend?”

She knew her daughter well and asked exactly the right questions. After a few seconds of silence, Flossie finally admitted, “He’s my ex.”

Mekhi tried to recall the young man’s appearance, but he couldn’t remember clearly because he hadn’t taken a good look at him. The only thing he recalled was that the man looked handsome and elegant.

“Is he a businessman?” Mekhi asked after a while.

As a professor who had encountered countless people in his life, he could easily identify those involved in politics, business, scientific research, or academia.

Flossie nodded.

Mekhi was not pleased. Businessmen are typically more sophisticated than ordinary people, while his daughter was quite straightforward. The mismatch was obvious.

“When did you two break up? And why did you break up?” Yvonne asked curiously. “If you don’t want to tell me, I won’t force you. You have the right to keep it a secret.”

Flossie answered without revealing the whole truth. “We broke up peacefully a few days ago. But we haven’t sorted everything out yet. That’s why he came to see me.”

Hearing that they had broken up peacefully, her parents were relieved.

After lunch, Flossie and Yvonne went outside to play chess in the yard. Mekhi, on the other hand, went out through the front door, and as he had expected, the young man was still there.
