Chapter 91: Meant To Be
When he arrived at the Military Academy that day, Field Marshal Chan together with Zach, walked to watch the ongoing training.
Lyra had arrived at the hospital and insisted on taking care of Grandfather Shen until he was checked out, so Zach decided to go back to the Military Academy.
Zach let out another long sigh when Field Marshal left him.
The soldiers were too busy with their training to notice them. Zach also noticed that Keira seemed to be enjoying the training too.
’He probably knows what has happened at the parking exit of the hospital,’ Zach mused, referring to the Field Marshal.
He was a bit embarrassed to look straight into Field Marshal Chan’s eyes while they spoke a while ago.
He did understand Mrs. Chan. Her words were not offensive at all but sounded more of a pleading to him.
A plea of a concerned mother who wanted her daughter to become someone eminent... and not to be in danger...
He actually did not know how he would react when Mrs. Chan stated her concerns.
["I know you are a good man Zach. I do like you too. I can easily see why Keira is so attracted - she passionately wants to get you within her grip. If possible, I would like her to finish college and have a proper degree of her own first. I don’t want her to end up as a housewife who knows nothing but how to spend money. She has a lot to learn, and I do believe that she is too focussed on you right now. Her hundred percent attention- her world is revolving totally around you. I don’t want to see her like that. I don’t oppose your relationship with her at all, so don’t get me wrong. If you reciprocate or are not ready to reciprocate Keira’s feelings right now, can I have a simple request? Please, don’t be too nice with her, if you know what I mean... If possible... can you make her think that you don’t like her?"]
But that was not the part of Mrs. Chan’s words that left him speechless...
