"Wait, sir! M-marriage? Really? You want me to marry you? Are you—" She couldn't finish what she was saying because he cut her off, but there was still a hint of shock on her face. "Don't overreact, okay? I'm not done yet," he said. "You told me that your grandmother is in the hospital, right? You need your work to support your grandmother's medical needs. I'll be honest with you, you can't support your grandmother's hospital bills just by working at the store. Even if you get tired from working, it won't be enough. I just want you to marry me for some reason, and I know that you too will benefit from this."

My mouth slowly fell open. “Dad… I just told you my life is in danger. And you’re talking about money?” Mom spoke again, her voice gentle, but her words were colder than any slap. “Sweetheart, you just have to endure it. Be smarter. Find out what makes him angry and stop doing it. Every marriage has its good and bad moments. No marriage is perfect. You’ll get used to it.” I haven't even married Luke yet, and my life is already a nightmare. What will happen after we get married?

We looked at each other briefly before breaking into a laugh, and for what it’s worth, I could take my mind off that bitch for some time. “I wasn’t prepared for this life at all,” I told her a while later. We were still at the party but somehow managed to find a corner to talk. “Being in love…being married to someone…which I will be soon.” “Marriage is the easy part. What comes later, as a wife, is the real deal,” she said distantly as if narrating her own experience. “I don’t understand…”

"Did he say that about me?" "Yes, before he passed away, he often mentioned the names of his childhood friends, including yours." "Before I got married, I had the most fun playing with your grandfather and my other friends. After my marriage, I never saw him again. I never thought that that would be our last farewell." The other elderly ladies also sighed upon hearing that. "We always say our lives seem better than ordinary people's, but we don't have control over our own lives. Once we get married and establish our careers, we might not even meet our childhood friends again."

“It’s a feeling. When you live in a world of business, and you’re a single dad, you learn to take in signs around you. He was close to you, hoping to lure you in with compliments before leaving you to dry after a night out.” I narrow my brows. “Really?” I deadpan. “I know it sounds ridiculous, but I’m just being honest.” “And you’re honestly ridiculous.” “Oh, come on now, Esme.

asked Kiara curiously, before taking a sip of her coffee. "A year ago?" replied Lydia in a questioning tone. Fortunately, no one noticed the questioning tone. Lydia wasn't lying either. It was indeed a year ago that Lydia got married to Reino. It's just that now they are divorced, although this fact is clearly unknown to people. But at least there were still facts that Lydia said. "Have you kept it a secret for that long? Why?" This time it was Maya's turn to ask. "Yeah, I see. I just ...."

I continued, getting the rapt attention of both Jaxon and Arthur. “And my friend eventually liked her back, even loved her. After so many years apart, they finally reconnected, and got married. But guess what?” Jaxon shrugged cluelessly. “My friend’s wife is now so cold, and wants no intimacy at all. It’s more like she doesn’t even have any feelings left for him again.
