"What makes you think I’m the same as Lucy?" Elaine crossed her arms.
"Lucy has had a hard life, and now that there’s a man who can take care of her, you can finally rest easy.But just in case you don’t know this, I don’t need it."
"You..."
"Dear, there’s no need to rush Elaine.In fact, it’s not a bad thing to get married later in life.It won’t be too late for Elaine to think about it when she meets her Mr.Right." Jenna tried to persuade Edward gently.
Edward snorted.
"If she had the ability to think about i t, she wouldn’t have been deceived."
"Dad, I didn’t lie to you."
"You didn’t lie? You're doing so because you deliberately want to piss me off.Are the Saldanas a family that you can think about marrying into? You didn’t even go around gathering more information about Juan’s son, and you’ve chosen to believe in him!"
‘‘Sure enough, he still cares about the Saldanas" Lucy wondered.
"What about the Saldanas?" Elaine did not answer Lucy but explained, "Ian is the other son of Juan Saldana.I don’t want to get married anyway, but the conditions he offered piqued my interest."
Edward’s expression changed slightly.
"You...Do you think marriage is a child’s play?"
"Isn’t marriage a process in which we humans find someone to live with for the rest of our lives? Anyway, I have to live the rest of my life no matter what, so if you want me to get married, it’s equivalent to you asking me to find a man to live with.Then I just get myself a man who meets my requirements and makes do with it, won’t that do the job too?"
"You..." Edward was so furious that his face was ashen.
Lucy and Hector looked at each other, and Hector held the back of her hand as if he was reassuring her.
At this time, Edward received a call.
He got up and walked to the side to answer it.
The person on the other end of the call said something to him, and he frowned.
"Okay, I’ll head to the company right now." He ended the call, turned his head, and said to Hector, "You make yourself at home.Something just came u p, and I have to deal with it." Hector nodded.
Elaine went upstairs without eating any of the snacks.
Lucy leaned over to Hector’s ear and said something t o him.
Hector then smiled.
"Go ahead."
Lucy went after Elaine and called her at the door of her room.
