My International Marriage Story (28)

Continuing from last time... It had been about a year since she started living with me and consistently commuting to Daegu University in Gyeongsan from Busan! During her breaks and holidays, despite the difficulties, she steadily met my parents and built a good relationship. I also occasionally spoke with her mother, who was still in Russia (she translated for me lol), to build rapport. When her 4th-year summer break arrived, I finally gathered my courage!! I earnestly begged my parents for their formal permission to marry her!! And guess what... they surprisingly gave their blessing quite coolly. They told me their reasons: her diligent life in a foreign country not her own, how she adapted on her own, her attitude towards elders, and finally, her strong will to survive impressed them. They also thanked me for becoming more responsible thanks to her!! The moment I heard that, I had to hold back tears that suddenly welled up... ㅠㅠ She also cried buckets on the way back home ㅠㅠ
