The Heart Left Behind (Cole and Yvonne) novel Chapter 184

"You're right." I looked at the only photo I had of Lorraine in my phone and replied.

"If I just want a woman, I do have many choices, so it really doesn't have to be Lorraine."

"If that's so, then…"

Murphy was even more confused. He remembered that Grandma had once picked out many women for me, but I didn't like any of them. Those women were wealthy and beautiful. Any one of them would be better than Lorraine.

"Do you think those women would treat Jonas well?"

Murphy was at a loss for words.

Those women were pampered and spoiled by their families. It would be practically mission impossible for them to be a good stepmom to a nine-year-old.

"Everyone is capable of pretending for the first few days. They'll last a week, at most, before their true colors come out."

Why else would they marry me? For Joplin Group, of course. I couldn't pick any of them.

If I were to have children with them, Jonas would be put in an even more difficult place.

Only Lorraine would treat Jonas with genuine care.

I tossed Murphy the USB that I had organized and said, "This isn't something you should be racking your head about. Just do what I've asked you to, and do it well."

Murphy kept quiet immediately. He caught the USB and left.

Lorraine was on my mind, so I couldn't help but give her a call.

She answered very quickly. I heard her panting, so I thought she might have just finished work.

"Did it go well?" I asked.

Lorraine wiped the sweat beaded on her forehead as her voice rang with uncontrollable excitement, "Exceptionally well! Many people came today. My previous clients showed up as well."

She really hadn't expected her past clients to show up in support of her since she had always been working under her previous company before this.

When she remembered that all of this was made possible because of me, she blushed as she called out to me softly, "Cole."

"What is it? I'm listening."

"Thank you."
