Predestined Marriage

Douglas fished round in his pockets for his driving license. After a long while, he found it and gave it to her.

It was crumpled, as if he got it from the garbage can.

Summer glanced at him and allowed him to drive.

As soon as Summer nodded, Douglas ran to the other side and opened the door near the passenger seat, "Summer, please."

After Summer got on the car, she teased Douglas, "Do you have a girlfriend?"

"No. The cafeteria staff was all men except for one old lady. How could I find a girlfriend?" Douglas said miserably to Summer.

Douglas saw a cake shop by the roadside. He said excitedly, "Summer, I want to have some cake."

Summer signaled for him to stop. They went to the shop for a cake.

On the way back home, Douglas stopped at every food shop, like a greedy little child.

Summer smiled and said, "I believe you've had a hard time in school."

"Yeah. Indeed." Douglas seized every chance to gain her sympathy.

Summer stocked a lot of food in her house for the New Year. After arriving at her place, Summer served a lot of foods to Douglas as a treat.

Douglas took a bag of beef jerky and walked around the room while eating, sized the room.

He looked around and said in a seemingly serious tone, "Summer, your apartment is too small. After I make money, I'll give you a big house."

Summer laughed. He was still a kid and was always on a whim.

She glanced at Douglas and said, "It isn't my apartment, I rent it."

Douglas was surprised.
