And if she agreed to his proposal, she would also be helping him fulfill his father's wishes."Liam, I appreciate your offer," she finally said, her voice calm but hesitant. "But this is a big decision, and I need some time to think it over. Can I let you know in a few days?"Liam nodded understandingly. "Of course, Elena. Take your time. This is a big decision for both of us, and I want you to be sure before you make any commitments."With that, the two of them finished their wine

"Mom, I am old enough to make my own decisions. I don't appreciate you meddling in my personal life," he retorted.His mom was taken aback by his outburst. "I'm sorry, Liam. I just want what's best for you.
