"My silly girl, these are completely different kinds of feelings... It's obvious you haven't transitioned from childhood friendship to genuine love." Gabrielle Winters shook her head. "Or you might have love, but your way of interacting hasn't changed. In this mode, your love leads to a dead end."
"Huh? There's so much to talk about?" Lawrence Winters was dumbfounded. "Mom, why didn't you say so earlier? If you did, I wouldn't have gotten married!"
"You two were so sweet back then, I thought you both understood..." Gabrielle said ruefully. "Especially Ardent, he's three years older than you and a man, he should know more than you, but even he didn't change his mindset. Alas, it seems you two aren't meant to be."
Lawrence didn't like what she heard and pouted. "He's a man, three years older, but why should he know more than me? Maybe he doesn't understand either? That's why we got married and divorced so quickly..."
