After Caroline used the restroom, she hurried over when she saw the incoming call from Edwin. Her eyes dimmed slightly at the sight of his name on the screen

She didn’t need to guess–he was calling about that blind date.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she finally picked up

Edwin’s impatient voice came through immediately. “What were you doing? Why did it take you so long to answer?”

“I was working. Couldn’t pick up right away,” Caroline replied casually.

Edwin instantly assumed she was out delivering food and reminded her, “When you go on that date later, don’t tell the guy you’re a delivery person. Just say you work at your own company, okay? Got it?”

He couldn’t bring himself to admit to others that his sister was out delivering food, so he told people she was helping out at their family’s factory.

Caroline’s expression froze.

At first glance, she’d thought he seemed decent, but after hearing that, she instantly realized she was wrong.

She hadn’t come expecting anything from this date, but she couldn’t help speaking her mind.

“So you want me to be a full–time housewife, staying home to look after your mom and kids? But if I get pregnant, I probably won’t be able to take care of them properly. What then?”

The man waved dismissively. “Oh no, I already have kids. You won’t need to have any more.”

Caroline blinked, surprised. “So you’re not planning to have any more children? You want me to marry you just to take care of your mom and your kids?”

“Exactly. You won’t have to work or stress yourself out. Don’t worry, aside from household expenses, I’ll

His family might not be super rich, but they were well–off. And in this area, he was considered one of the best–looking guys around–years ago, several girls had tried to chase after him.
