Newhaven: Week Nine - The Chang-Collins Family
If (understandably, considering how long ago the last update was) you’ve forgotten who these sims are, the Year Two Overview should help : )
Previously for the Chang-Collins family: Lillian became a teen, began dating the older Terry Sibly as well as learning the ways of the family business, Chang’s Chinese Cafe, from her Celebrity Chef mother Lin. The week ended with Lin and Vasyl aging happily into elders.
It was a peaceful and uneventful week for the Chang-Collins family. Lin was still in a steady relationship with her boyfriend Terry Sibly, who having finished high school, was now working with his father in Newhaven’s Police force.
The four year difference in their ages did occasionally cause arguments; mostly when Terry would say Lin was being immature, or she would call him an old fuddy duddy, but they always made up.
She hoped that she and Terry would have a relationship like her parents who were still very much in love after their many years together. Vasyl had always been Lillian’s rock, and still supported her in her career by listening to her thoughts and ideas for the restaurant.
Lin wasn’t aware than her mother hadn’t been that taken with Vasyl in the beginning and had agreed to marry her best friend due to her grandfather’s wishes to see his daughter married before his death. If she did she would have understood why her mother always empasised that her marriage was as strong as it was because it was based on friendship.
Lillian was proud of the woman her daughter was growing up to be, and especially proud of the hard work she put in at the family’s restaurant that had been begun by her own parents.
The restaurant continued to grow in popularity and had even recently been awarded. Lillian was confident she was leaving it in safe hands when it came time for Lin to take over its management.
