She licked her lips nervously before whispering, "It's still too fast. Instead of dating straightaway… we should meet your family first."
Her logic was simple and painfully honest. She had seen far too many dramas and lived through far too much pain... to trust blindly again.
Many women suffered during the "family meeting round." It was premature for her and Alex anyway; they weren't officially dating, and they weren't in love yet. Not fully.
She wanted to use her mind before letting her heart fall recklessly again.
She wanted to know if Alex's family truly accepted her and wouldn't enslave her or take advantage of her after marriage.
Because if she fell deeply like she once did for Henry, and it shattered her again… she wasn't sure she'd survive a second heartbreak.
Alex nodded immediately. "We can meet them today if you want."
His enthusiasm almost made her stumble. Inside his mind, he was already imagining slipping a ring onto her finger before the sun set.
