Tears forced their way out of Naomi Baker's eyes as she threw herself onto the nearby sofa and began to cry.
Mother Baker, although filled with sympathy, did not dare to go against her husband's wishes. She could only go over to comfort Naomi—
"Naomi, please stop crying. Listen to your dad. You have been following your own heart these past several years, and we have indulged you, spoiled you. Now it has led to trouble. Just listen to him this once, otherwise, things at home will soon be beyond repair. We're under a lot of pressure too, you need to be understanding..."

"So, you're blaming me too? Wasn't it you who made me try to win the Barnes family's favor in the first place? But they didn't even spare me a glance, how is that my fault? You just think about sacrificing me, when will you truly fight for me?"
