When he told her he was a bastard, she smiled brightly. "So what if you're a bastard? You are what you are. There's only one you in this world. What a person can achieve is not based on whether he is born out of wedlock."
"Don't you think it's disgraceful that I was born?"
She earnestly said, "I think your parents are irresponsible about marriage. Now that they have children, they should get married. If they can't get married, they should have kept their distance or took precautions. Isn't there a saying that getting into a relationship without considering marriage is just sexual harassment?"
For the first time, someone said that about his parents in front of him.
Did she know that sometimes people get into a relationship without considering marriage because there are so many other considerations?
Marriage was nothing more than choosing the woman who could help them make the most of it.
"You get into a relationship for marriage?" he asked.
"Of course," she answered. "If I want to get married in the future, I'll surely find a man I love very much and someone who loves me very much. We'll love each other forever. Maybe after a long time, that romantic love will turn into family love, but no matter what, he and I are going to stick together and grow old together..."
She described to him her idea of love and marriage.
He listened and unexpectedly produced some kind of yearning. He was almost wishing he could have a relationship like that too.
He had always assumed that he was indifferent to his future marriage. If he married, he thought it would be with a woman who could bring him some benefit. Otherwise, he would not marry.
However, his heart leaped at her words.
If she were the one he was going to marry... Then he would do it willingly, and he looked forward to the day they would grow old together.
