Molly's family wasn't doing well. Her parents were farmers, and she had a ten-year-old sister, Marlene. Marlene was studying in the capital city.
After Zachary chatted with her for two hours, he learned a lot about her. He could tell from her eyes that she was a pure-minded woman. Although she tried to act natural while they talked, he could see that she seldom came to the pub.
Throughout their conversation, he drank six cocktails, while Molly had four. However, it didn't seem like she could hold her liquor. After the four cocktails, she lost her composure a little.
Her eyes turned red, and she gently bit her lip. Then, she asked softly, "Zac, are you wealthy?"
"What are you trying to ask?"
When Zachary went abroad, he went to the pub a lot as well.
There were a lot of women who flirted with him. However, most of them were gold diggers, and they only approached him for his wealth. So, he would always coldly turn them away.
However, something about Molly made him feel different. He could tell she had a lot of struggles and helplessness inside.
From their conversation, he knew what she had gone through. He found out that she was a strong and independent woman. If she could ask a question like that, it would prove that she was facing great difficulty in life.
"Zac, actually… I came to the pub today to look for a sugar daddy. But I'm scared of meeting someone terrible!"
She was blushing slightly, and she didn't dare to look Zachary in the eyes.
He swirled the drink in his glass and said with a smile, "In that case, aren't you worried that I'm a terrible person as well?"
"You don't look like one when you look at me. So, I don't think you're a terrible person at all!"
