Can't Bear to See Me Happy

Mrs. Penny hurriedly said, "Lola, it's not that I don't want to support you two..."

Lola stared at Mrs. Penny in disbelief and questioned, "Master Peony, even Chancellor Evans doesn't object to my marriage with Neil Zhao. Why won't you approve? You found your own perfect match and have a happy family—don't you want me to be happy too?"

Seeing Lola's expression, Mrs. Penny realized she was upset and quickly explained, "Lola, you've misunderstood. As your mentor, how could I not want you to be happy?"

"Then why won't you agree?" Lola bit her lip, looking at Mrs. Penny, her resentment barely contained and ready to burst.

Sean Hayes was Lola's first love, the center of all her youthful affection. But Mrs. Penny ended up with Sean. On the day she learned of their marriage, Lola was devastated, and since then, she'd kept her distance from the couple.

For a long time, Lola thought she would grow old alone, with no one by her side.

It wasn't until she arrived in the Kingdom of Qin and Neil Zhao entered her life that she began to hope for marriage and family again.

She liked Neil Zhao and wanted to build a family with him, to have children together.

Lola had always thought Mrs. Penny truly cared for her and wanted the best for her—yet now Mrs. Penny wouldn't approve her marriage!

Lola looked at Mrs. Penny, her gaze full of accusation: "Why are you stopping me from finding my own happiness!?"
