Of course, she had somewhat fallen for Charlie too at spoint, but unfortunately, she knew that she barely had any chance. 5 The only thing she could do was to work well in Emgrand Group and bring the company to a higher level to repay Charlie's kindness to her as well as keep her feelings for Charlie hidden deep inside her heart.

I will no longer tell you how to live your life anymore." Corwin said with a sigh, "Doris, your mother is right! In the past, we've always meddled in your problems based on our understandings and perspective, and that was very disrespectful to you, so from now on, you are your own master in your life. Do whatever you want. Your mom and I will never intervene again." 2 Doris was very grateful when she heard this.
Oftentimes, misunderstandings occurred between children and parents due to the lack of communication and generation gap. But in truth, the reason why the misunderstanding arose was not because of material nor money, but because of the lack of mutual understanding and perception.
Parents lacked understanding of their children, and so did the children of their parents.

What they wanted was an intense and heart-rendering love.
