章 422: A lonely existence

"How much more time do you need? What else do I have to do to be enough for you?" She felt torn from her fear of losing him and the possibility that she would end up alone in the end.

The more he worked on his dream, the less time he spent with her. It did not help that her father kept nagging at her that she was not getting any younger. 

Her father also insisted that she should be thinking of building a family soon. He did not believe that her modeling career would be enough to give her a bright future.

He reminded her that when her body started to sag and her beauty faded, she would be thrown away just like yesterday's news. 

She still remembered what her father said to her. "You are not getting any younger. How sure are you that he will stay committed to you?" John's words, at that time, influenced most of her decisions.
