While Kyle was talking to his cousin on the phone, Amanda stepped a little farther away and hesitantly called her mother.
She still hadn't told her parents that she was dating Kyle. By now, she was sure they had already guessed it, especially after the way her father had treated Kyle during the gathering. Even so, the truth had never been spoken aloud.
Her mother was particularly reserved when it came to matters like these, largely because Amanda did not belong to an ordinary family.
As the sole heiress of Maylith, countless eyes were always on her. That was why her mother constantly reminded her to carry herself with dignity in public and avoid anything that could tarnish their family's reputation.
Amanda had never regretted dating Kyle, not even once. Still, she knew her mother would see things differently.
And she had a feeling her mother was not as much aware of things as her father. That's what got her nervous.
But today... she had to take this step.
