“Lumma, have you been hurt in love? Why do you not believe in love at such a young age?” Judy asked pointedly.
“I haven’t been hurt to that extent, but I have been influenced,” Lumma’s mind conjured up the image of a person and remembered what that person had once said to her. She didn’t deny that she didn’t believe in love and that it was influenced by that person, but it wasn’t solely due to that person’s influence.
The main reason is that nowadays, the premise for many people to get married is whether the other person has money, a house, and a car. Men want to find a wealthy woman to make their lives easier for the next twenty years. Women want to marry a wealthy man so that they can buy whatever they want after marriage and never worry about money.
Because Lumma has seen too many cases like this, she feels that marriage now is not just about getting married. It’s more like a business transaction. After getting married, it’s not about living life together with the other person, but rather living life together with money, houses, and cars. It’s just cohabitation, and there’s no room for love.
Judy asked, “Lumma, does that mean you don’t love your husband at all?”
Adam, who had been silent all along, tensed up instantly at Judy’s question. He was even more eager than Judy to hear Lumma’s answer, but at the same time, he was afraid of hearing Lumma’s answer.
“Whether I love him or not doesn’t matter. What matters is that we are already husband and wife,” Lumma and her siblings knew Lucas, and Lumma had nothing to hide, “As long as Lucas is willing to live a good life with me, I will also maintain this marriage well and live a good life with him. I will never have second thoughts. If one day he finds another woman and wants to divorce me, I will respect his wishes.”
Lumma’s answer was within Adam’s expectations but also beyond his
Get Borus expectations. In fact, he should have thought long ago that Lumma had the same idea as him in managing this marriage. Once married, they would live their lives together and never betray this marriage.
