The Ceo’s Convict Wife

Chapter 166

When he had told her that he was an illegitimate child, she had smiled cheerfully and said, “So what? You’re the only you in this world. How successful a person is doesn’t depend on whether they’re an illegitimate child.”

“Don’t you think my birth is disgraceful?”

What had she said then? She had declared earnestly, “I simply think your parents’ attitude towards marriage is irresponsible. They should have gotten married if they already had a child. If people can’t get married, they should keep a distance from each other from the beginning or take protective measures. Isn’t there a saying that dating without the objective of marriage is the behavior of scoundrels?”

It was the first time someone had said that about his parents in front of him.

But did she realize that marriage couldn’t always be the end goal because some people had too many other goals in sight and too many interests had to be exchanged in wedlock?

Marriage was nothing more than choosing a woman who could maximize his interests.

“So, if you were to date someone, is it to get married?” he had asked.

“Of course,” she had replied. “If I were to get married in the future, I would find a man who I love very much, and he would also love me as much. We would love each other for a lifetime. Maybe after a long time, that love would become a mere affection for family, but no matter what, we would never leave one another and stay together until we’re old and wrinkly…”

She had described her future love and marriage to him.

And he, listening and listening, had felt a kind of yearning, like he was looking forward to having such a relationship himself.

He had always thought that he didn’t care about his future marriage. If he got married, it must be because the woman could bring him benefits, Or he’d simply never marry in his entire life.

But at that time, he had been moved by her words.
