The darkness from Sam's expression vanished when he heard that, and his usual disposition returned. "I think so as well. No matter what happens, I have to try.""Hmm! Mr. Sam, you should send in your resume! I support you." Irene continued to encourage him. "If you can become the son-in-law of the Foster family, your father will surely be proud of you. No. Everyone in your family will be proud of you. They will look at you differently."Irene's words spoke to Sam's heart."Who did you borrow money from? Give me his contact. I'll pay off your debt for you." Sam was delighted with Irene, and he decided to help her repay her debt. However, the main reason for his generosity came from the fact that 3000 dollars were nothing to him. If he helped her this time, Irene might be grateful to him for the rest of her life.He had always been submissive at home, so he enjoyed being admired by others."Mr. Sam, it's really fine. If I need your help in the future, I'll let you know, okay?" I
Lucas looked at Layla's photo before looking up at Irene's serious face. "Just because she is pretty, I have to like her/""Uh… you're right. You're not like ordinary people. I'm so ugly, yet I have never once seen you disgusted." Irene kept her phone. A new thought suddenly sprang into her mind. "Mr. Lucas, do you like ugly people?"Irene had read an article on people who had an ugly fetish, and this new information was what inspired her question. There are so many people on this earth. There would surely be people who have different aesthetics than ordinary people.The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Lucas must have an ugly fetish.Kasey Bennett from the Bennett family is so beautiful, yet he did not like her at all. Layla was beautiful too, but he did not look at her photo. He looked up at her ugly face instead."Yes, I like ugly people." Lucas saw how she already had preconceived notions, so he could not be bothered to argue with her.Irene blushed, turned
"Avery, you're always too soft-hearted." Ever since Elliot found out that his daughter wanted to find a partner, every single day filled him with anxiety.He should have headed to the office that day, but he did not go.Even if he had gone to the office, he would not have been in the mood to work. He rather stayed at home and look at the responses to the advert. "I'm not being soft-hearted. You're just placing too much emphasis on this matter. As if Layla could truly find her soulmate through this search." Avery took a grape and placed it in her mouth.When Elliot saw her eating grapes, he also reached for the fruit bowl for some grapes."Don't, you're already so angry. Have some apples to cool you down instead." Avery took an apple for him. "Here you go."Elliot was speechless."Layla has also said that this search is just so she gets to know more people of the opposite sex. She did not say that she was going to find someone to marry. You should relax a little." Avery continue
He did not expect Layla to look for a suitor beyond the borders of Aryadelle. The whole thing seemed rather absurd to him."Hmm, her father and brother helped her with this. She decided that she wanted to get to know more members of the opposite sex since she did not know that many men," said Avery explaining the matter to him. "How are you and your girlfriend? Have you planned on getting married?"Eric said, "Not yet. I thought Layla intended on getting married quickly and that is why such an advert has been put out.""If she meets someone compatible and wants to get married, we won't stop her," Avery said. "Layla is twenty-five this year. She is of a suitable age to get married."Eric was silent for a few seconds before responding with a somewhat strangled sound."Eric, you don't have to feel guilty. I know that you probably like Layla, too. After all, you saw her growing up. Layla suddenly confessing her feelings to you must have frightened you, right?" Avery's tone was relax
The last post that irene had seen on Avery's social media page was Rose's eighteenth birthday. Avery recently posted another photo. The photo was the vista from the hill. Irene immediately recognized that it was the Hightide Church. She faintly recognized the surroundings despite not having been there in years.She still remembered her grandmother's warnings of how Avery was a bad person but that did not appear to be true. Rose looked so happy and she would frequently visit Hightide Church, so Irene could tell that Avery was a great person.She could not help but react to Avery's post.Avery had over a million fans, and though her following could not be compared to the following that idols and actresses had, she had plenty of loyal admirers who commented and reacted to each of her posts.Irene stared dazedly at the photo and felt the sudden urge to return to the church, but she knew that she did not have enough money to do so for the time being.Once she had the money, she decid
Everyone was talking about Layla, who had started accepting global applications for a husband."It would be great if Layla Tate would marry into this family." Mr. Woods glanced at his sons. Both his eldest and second eldest sons fell within the age requirements; apart from the fact that they did not own 1.5 billion dollars, Mr. Woods was certain that his sons were eligible matches."Haha. We don't have 1.5 billion so they won't pick us." Mrs. Woods had seen the news as well and had allowed herself to daydream about having Layla as her daughter-in-law. It was a shame that they met none of the requirements apart from the age of their sons."I thought about it and I think the Fosters made such harsh requirements because they intend to offer an enormous dowry to whoever marries their daughter," Mr. Woods said. "We might not have 1.5 billion, but maybe we can try to figure something out.""Are you going to take a loan or something? Can you even borrow that much?" Sam asked."Are you in
It's normal. If I'm a guy and I see that Layla is looking for suitors, I can't help but try." Done with her skincare routine, Avery walked over to Elliot and glanced at the screen of his laptop, where Elliot happened to be looking at Sam's email."This kid looks sweet." She glanced through the portfolio and saw the words 'accept marrying into the Foster Family instead' in red and bold. "Haha, this kid says he can marry into our family instead!""Layla is way out of his league! There are countless men who would give up their family names to marry into our family. Am I supposed to be impressed just because he put those words in red bold?! Something is wrong with his head!" Elliot said before deleting Sam's email."Stop going through these, Elliot. I don't want you to get insomnia later." She closed his laptop and took it away."What if Layla never finds her perfect match, Avery?" Elliot was not in any hurry before, but his mind had swung to the other extreme, now that Layla had start
Avery lay down and covered her body with the blanket."You can't betray me, Avery!" He laid down next to her and turned off the lights."What are you talking about? You are overthinking things." She covered him with the blanket as well."Eric really didn't lure you over to his side?" He wrapped an arm around her waist."You heard every word I said when I was on the phone with him, didn't you?" She chuckled. "You can go behind my back and ask him about it.""I don't sneak around like that," he said pridefully. "If I go to see him in private, I might not be able to hold back the urge to beat him up.""Don't do that, Elliot," Avery said. "You are too old to fight with him, and you are just going to get hurt. I will be sad if you get hurt.""... Avery, I'm not that fragile.""Guys will always be teenagers at heart, but you need to face reality. You are losing calcium as you age, and you can't do things that you did when you were younger. If something happens, it will take you much
