Actually, they had only decided to get married, but still had no plan, which made them feel like it was a bit of a waste of time to gather them together. However, this didn't affect their blessings for Simon and Daisy.
"Alright, we understand. If you are in a hurry, you can go," Simon knew that when his parents were on an archaeological discovery, they would rush to the site without delay.
He was used to having parents like that; from birth until now, they rarely met. They communicated over the phone for most matters and later on, through the computer. This time, he really didn't expect they would drop their work and come over.
He also couldn't quite remember if he had been unclear over the phone. He remembered saying that they planned to get married, but no date had been set.
In any case, he was somewhat surprised when they showed up at home.
"Stay for a meal before you go, Uncle and Auntie," Daisy stood up and invited them.
