“Anthony, you should be very careful when you‘ re making friends. In the past, you made friends with the disgraced Wilson Family. I already told you to not get too close to their daughter. As you can see, it didn’t work. It’s better to find a woman to marry in the same background,” Mrs. Morrow said.
When I heard her cruel remarks, I didn’t get mad. In fact, I kept savoring the dishes before me as she continued to speak badly. of my family. The dishes that I used to hate the most in the past had turned into the most delicious ones and I couldn‘ thelp but eat them voraciously.
Meanwhile, Anthony looked perplexed. As soon as his grandmother finished what she had just said, I almost finished my meal. After that, I wiped my mouth calmly before picking up the wine glass and standing up.

Eventually, we ended up getting married last year.
Once, I asked him why he didn’t pursue me the moment we met for the first time.
The man just smiled at me as he answered,
“You have fire in your eyes. Surely,
you‘ re never innocent when life hits you hard. That’s what I like about you. So, I’ll let you pursue your obsession.”
Some people took advantage of others. while some people helped others. I had to admit that I was grateful for this fate,
