Eva's POV
"Mom, Are you serious?" I chuckled cheerfully, looking at my mother, who was still blushing like a schoolgirl. I never saw her like this after my dad died.
Yes, my father died when I was 16. He is diagnosed with cancer. He can not survive even after medical treatment.
My mom has always been upset after that. It took her many months to finally choose to give up on my dad's memory and try to live for herself. I also miss Dad, but seeing Mom miserable every time becomes worse.
She tried to date some man and also fell in love with one of them, whose name was Roy, but he suddenly broke up with her without giving any reason. She felt hurt again. I don't know if she forgot about Roy or not because she genuinely likes him.
But she finally met Mark, and today morning she informed me that he finally proposed to her last night, which shocked me.
"Yes, honey! Mark proposed to me last night on our date. I wanted to tell you this yesterday, but you already fell asleep!" Mom informed me with little regret, but I told her there was nothing to regret.
"I'm so happy for you, Mom!" I held Mom's both hands and started jumping like a child. Yes, it looks funny. But I genuinely feel another level of happiness.
Mom chuckles loudly to see my reaction.
"Eva! I want to show you one more thing!" She surprisingly looked at me and showed a bright smile on her face.
My mom's face still glows like a young lady's. No one can say she's the mother of an 18-year-old daughter like me. She's beautiful, intelligent, and elegant. She's a well-tempered lady who was passed on by her wealthy family.
Yes, My mom's background was rich, while my dad is a regular employee. They fall in love with each other during their college time and get married. My grandparents are open-minded people, so their wedding didn't make any fuss.
While I was looking at my mom's glowing face, she suddenly raised her half hand and showed me her diamond ring, which seemed too beautiful on her beautiful white slender finger. The ring design is so unique and glorious.
"Ohh, my God!" I held my hands in my mouth with surprise.
"Mom! That's great!" I exclaimed with happiness.
"Congratulations!" I just hugged her warmly.
"Thank you!" She also patted my back with a light hand. Her face is blushing. I can sense how happy she is. I also feel so glad to see her finally taking steps for her future.
She met that man two months ago at a friend's marriage party. After that, they started to meet each other. His name is Mark Grayson. Mom told me he is nine years younger than Mom, but his maturity is at a different level. They both love to connect more. My mom's age is 38 while his age is 29, which made me more shocked to hear about her relationship. But she's happy, so I'm so glad.
I don't know about their physical relationship because I never saw Mom coming late or something like body language. I never met her boyfriend before; I had only heard about him through Mom's conversation. But with my mom's words, I can say he is the most charming and gentle person and husband material.
