"Blaine, stop avoiding me. Can we talk?"
I brought Callie home, and my parents were visibly taken aback when they saw her.
"Son, who is this you're bringing home?"
In the past, they didn't support my dangerous racing career.
But as I gradually made a name for myself, they stopped interfering too much and just let me spend as I pleased.
In this business, unless you're exceptionally talented, most need substantial financial backing.
So when I first started dating Callie, I didn't particularly introduce my family background.
I believe Zoran earns about the same as me in the racing world alone.
When I was injured before, my parents were extremely worried and offered to take care of me multiple times, but I turned them down, saying I had a girlfriend.
However, when I left the country, I couldn't hide it from my parents.
They learned about the ordeal I went through and have hated Callie ever since.
They only held back because they saw me return to Winters in good shape.
