“What makes you think I’m the same as Lucy?” Elaine crossed her arms.
“Lucy has had a hard life, and now that there’s a man who can take care of her, you can finally rest easy.But just in case you don’t know this, I don’t need it.”
“You…”
“Dear, there’s no need to rush Elaine.In fact, it’s not a bad thing to get married later in life.It won’t be too late for Elaine to think about it when she meets her Mr.Right.” Jenna
tried to persuade Edward gently.
Edward snorted.

“Dad, I didn’t lie to you.”
“You didn’t lie? You’re doing so because you deliberately want to piss me off.Are the Saldanas a family that you can think about marrying into? You didn’t even go around
gathering more information about Juan’s son, and you’ve chosen to believe in him!”
‘‘Sure enough, he still cares about the Saldanas” Lucy wondered.
“What about the Saldanas?” Elaine did not answer Lucy but explained, “Ian is the other son of Juan Saldana.I don’t want to get married anyway, but the conditions he offered
piqued my interest.”
Edward’s expression changed slightly.
“You…Do you think marriage is a child’s play?”
“Isn’t marriage a process in which we humans find someone to live with for the rest of our lives? Anyway, I have to live the rest of my life no matter what, so if you want me to
get married, it’s equivalent to you asking me to find a man to live with.Then I just get myself a man who meets my requirements and makes do with it, won’t that do the job
too?”
“What’s up?”
“I should be the one asking you what’s up.Who are you going to marry?”
She tucked her hair behind her ears and laughed.
“A man.” Lucy asked, “And you’re just making do with what you have?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElaine did not say anything.
‘I’m indeed making do with Ian.I’ve found a man who meets my requirements to live with, I can continue to do the things I want, and I don’t need to abandon my career for
my marriage.
‘It’s said that all marriages should be built on a base made out of love, but people who love each other might still face estrangements after marriage because of the little
things they face in life.
‘So, instead of finding someone I love, I might as well give up on love.This will save me a lot of trouble” Lucy asked again just to be sure, “Elaine, are you serious?”
“Lucy, just leave me alone and worry about yourself more.” Elaine closed the door.
