"I can fulfill your request, but I won't marry you." After Juliet thought about it for a moment, she said, "I'm not targeting you. I'm a person who doesn't want to get married. If you don't believe me, you can ask my boss.""Why are you not willing to get married?" Isaac asked as he was curious."Some people yearn to get married, but some just don't like the idea of marriage. There's no particular reason. I just don't like being tied to another person," Juliet said nonchalantly. "Besides, even if I did want to marry you, my parents would never allow me to marry someone from Aryadelle." Isaac smiled. "I have no intentions of marrying you. I'm not such an easy man either. I just like how you look. You are very beautiful, and you live up to my beauty standards." "I'm really unlucky," said Juliet, taking a dig at herself.The smile on Isaac's face disappeared. "Am I that bad for you to think so little of me?"Juliet said, "We aren't close, and I told you that I'm a person who does

"Why are you so nosy? I thought you already read through her resume?" Avery walked toward the elevator. "Wait for me at the airport. I'll head over now. We will talk later.""Sure. Drive safe. It's snowing outside!" Mike stood outside the airport and stared up at the sky.Aryadelle was warmer than Bridgedale in general, so he did not feel the cold despite standing outside.Forty minutes later, Avery arrived at the airport and saw Mike."Do you know why I asked you to pick me up instead of just taking a taxi?" Mike lifted his gigantic luggage and shoved it into the trunk.Avery stood next to him. "Because of the size of your luggage?""Yeah! These are all gifts for your kids. It's hideous for me to run around with this so I asked you to come pick me up. Isn't that the perfect solution?" Mike closed the back trunk door and walked toward her to stare at her face. "You gained weight."Avery just stared at him. Avery knew exactly what she looked like and how much she weighed. She h

Avery flushed. "She said she doesn't plan on getting married.""Didn't Ben used to say the same thing? Look at him now! He's about to become a father," Mike mocked. "You can't possibly think whatever others say is the truth! If she met someone she truly likes, anything can happen.""Sure, but even if she really has a boyfriend, you don't have to act so shocked, right? I don't care about my employees' private lives.""Do you think I'm shocked about her? I'm shocked because you are so silly."Avery's expression darkened. "It's not that important so there's no need for me to look into it. She said it's a mosquito bite and whether or not that's the truth, I will believe her. If it's really what you think it is, it's going to be humiliating to say it out loud...""That's why I am telling you in private. I didn't say anything to her face, did I?""If you dare to say that in front of her, I would have sewed your lips together.""Hahaha! I know what I shouldn't do. I'll head back to get

"Why hasn't he come home this late at night?" Juliet calculated the time in Ylore and frowned. "You should tell the driver to check on him!""I've already called the driver. The driver said that the door to the private room is closed and there are bodyguards out there, so he can't get in," Mrs. Sutton said worriedly. "I can't sleep when your dad isn't home. I'm worried sick.""Don't worry, Mom. If something has happened, I'm sure Dad would tell you," Juliet said, because she thought that her parents had a harmonious marriage."Who knows? Your dad has a lover out there somewhere and he doesn't love me anymore," Mrs. Sutton confessed. "He's just a conservative man and he won't abandon me if I don't ask for a divorce. Juliet, your dad can't set my mind at ease, and neither can you. I just want you to come home and keep me company."Juliet had not imagined that there was a crack in her parents' marriage and asked, "Mom, why don't you divorce him, then?""Divorce him? How is that going

Touched, Isaac gulped down his wine and Juliet immediately poured him another glass."Let's talk! We don't really know each other, after all," she said. "Let me tell you about my family first!"Isaac studied her face under the candle lights and wondered why her attitude had taken such a dramatic turn. She had ignored him completely when he spoke to her in the morning, and had become a completely different person after he came back from work."Both my parents are from Ylore. I have an older brother and a younger sister. My brother is already working in our family company, and my sister is still in high school. Our family is slightly better than a middle-class family! Have you ever been to Ylore?"Isaac shook his head. "I usually go to bigger countries.""Yeah, Ylore is still developing and the culture there is quite conservative. My parents have high expectations for us, so girls from Ylore are usually more conservative. That's why I was upset yesterday..."Isaac blushed. "I'm sor
