Despite her forced smile, Bettie felt down. She couldnt pinpoint the reason for her gloom. After all, her parents were fond of Lance.
However, watching her parents enjoy Lances company made her heart sink.
After lunch, Amirah suggested Bettie show Lance to a room upstairs for some rest, hinting they should have some time alone.
Leading Lance to the second floor, Bettie opened a guest room door and said, This is your room for rest.
Lance took hold of Betties wrist. Come with me. Ive got something to tell you.
Whats going on? Bettie walked with him into the guest room.
After closing the door, Lance said, Ive decided not to bring up the wedding with them today. I will mention it another time.
Even if we dont discuss it today, I doubt theyll be on board with us tying the knot next month. Have you figured out how were going to convince them? Bettie raised an eyebrow.
Its quite simple.
Really?
Lance stepped closer with a grin, leaned in, and whispered something to Bettie.
Betties cheeks turned pink, and she snapped, I am not pregnant! I wont agree with that.

Are you sure?
One hundred percent. If you even suggest that, Ill immediately get laid with others and make you be mocked as being cuckolded, Bettie sneered.
Alright. Ill come up with a different plan. If I can convince your mom first, your dad will probably come around. Lance shrugged.
As for my mom, leave her to me. You just need to come up with a solid reason for my dad to agree.
Got it.

After Lance had gone, Corless turned to Bettie and remarked, I think Lance really likes you, and he seems quite smitten. Itd be wise to not let him slip away.
I dont need your advice on that, Bettie retorted.
Corless found himself at a loss for words. Regardless, my love for you wont change.
Noticing the annoyance on Betties face, Corless gestured dismissively. Spend time with your mother. Ive got to head to the office.
No sooner had Corless left than Amirah beckoned Bettie over. Come here. I need to ask you something.
What is it?
What was going on with you and Lance back in high school? Amirah looked at Bettie as though she could see right through Bettie.
