The Reunion After Seven Years

On hearing this, Baron was shocked.

"Mom, you don't expect me to live up to my childhood joke, do you?"

He would have totally forgotten about that incident if it wasn't mentioned by his mother just now. Even if he did remember, how could he take that promise seriously? At that time, he didn't know what love and marriage meant. He was still innocent to the inner workings of the Fang family.

Why would she bring that up now? Before crossing paths with Nicole, he didn't know what real love was. He started and ended his relationships without an immense joy or sadness usually felt when one was in love. Now, he was 100 percent sure of his feelings for her.

He loved her so much. Even though he wasn't sure whether she loved him or not, he would still offer his heart to her wholly.

"You can make your decision after you meet her. I won't force you, but if you can get along well with her, it will be a good thing for us. After all, our families are well matched."

Baron's mother persuaded him patiently as she saw that he was frowning.

The future daughter-in-law of the Fang family must be generous and sensible. More importantly, she must belong to a family of equal social rank.

"Mom, I'm a grown man. I can make decisions on my own. Besides, I'm already in love with someone else, so I can't keep the promise I made when I was a child."

Baron leaned tiredly on the sofa and rubbed the space between his eyebrows.

He still hadn't helped Nicole solve her big issue with Kerr, and his mother had already gotten him in trouble. He was unable to cope with what was happening. What troubled him the most was that he faintly felt that Nicole had changed her mind.

He had thought that she wouldn't mind the lie he told to Kerr, but it turned out that she didn't want him to help her at all.

Baron's mother was surprised to hear this. It was her first time hearing those words from Baron, so she was very curious about the woman who had piqued her son's heart.
