The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Leo intervened, “Did that woman threaten you with the child?”

Garrett smiled bitterly and shook his head, disappointed. “No, of course not. I want to marry her because I love her. I’ve been pursuing her for a long time, and she finally agreed to be with me.”

Leo’s expression changed upon hearing his son’s words. It seemed that none of them were willing to back down. Vera and Leo exchanged a look and sighed.

“Well, we don’t have to rush things. I’ll find some ladies from wealthy and noble families, and you can go on blind dates with them. Maybe then you’ll find the right woman for you,” Leo tried to compromise as much as he could.

If Garrett found someone more attractive and suitable, he might give up the idea of marrying that orphan. “I agree. You don’t have to stick with that woman. Your dad and I are doing this for your own good. You’re going on a blind date tomorrow, and that’s final.”

Although Garrett didn’t want to go on a blind date, he had no choice. He was determined to marry Laney no matter what tricks his parents played.

The next day, Vera took Garrett to a restaurant to meet a lady from one of the wealthiest families in the city. Before they entered, Vera stopped and reminded her son, “Be a gentleman. Your dad and I carefully chose this girl. Her family is our business partner. Treat her nicely.”

Vera knew her son well. If he wanted to resist, he would do everything in his power to do so. “Whatever,” Garrett impatiently replied. “Meeting this girl won’t change anything.”

Without another word, he entered the restaurant and sat at the reserved table. The woman sitting across from him was stunningly beautiful and seemed infatuated with him.

During the meal, he kept coming up with topics to keep the conversation going. “What kind of women do you like?” the girl asked timidly, playfully brushing her hair behind her ear. Garrett smiled, adjusted his glasses, and replied, “I like women who are considerate and capable of caring for others. You see, I have a pregnant girlfriend who can’t take care of herself. I need someone to take care of her and the baby once we get married.”
