Cupid’s Arrow Hit On Me by Mr. Adeel

Chapter 1318

Lily agreed. “I’m like that too. I only talk about work while I’m at work, and no talking shop while I’m

resting.

“Duncan, can I ask you some questions?”

Duncan replied, “Go ahead.”

“Our parents want us to be a couple, and I’m quite pleased with you. You can say that I like you very much, but it’s

definitely too early to say that I love you. However, I believe I will be able to fall in love with you with time.”

In Lily’s eyes, Duncan was her target.

She liked him and wanted to conquer him, but when it came to love… Even she did not believe she loved him now,

let alone Duncan.

There was no such thing as love at first sight when it came to them.

“However, you keep running away from me. Is it because I’m not good enough? Or do you have another person in

your heart?”

Duncan did not expect Lily to be so blunt about it.

She did not hide anything or beat around the bush. Instead, she asked him directly. This character of hers was quite

suitable as a friend.

He looked at Lily. For the first time, he looked at her closely.

He had to admit that she was beautiful and excellent in all aspects. Even someone as picky as his mother was

incredibly satisfied with Lily. That was because Lily’s conditions were good.

They were both from affluent families. Although they live in different cities, transportation was well–developed now.

Even if they were not in the same city, it was not a big problem for two rich families to join in marriage.

For example, the Johnson family from Annenburg and the Lafayette family from Meadspring came together in

marriage. Annenburg and Meadspring were very far from each other.

“You’re a great person, Ms. Harmon. You’re young, pretty, and very capable. You’re the ideal daughter–in–law in my

mother’s eyes.”

Lily laughed. “What’s the use of being an ideal daughter–in–law in your mom’s eyes? I want to know if I’m the ideal

wife in your eyes.”

Duncan thought about it and said, “I’m very busy at work. If my wife is also busy with work, we’ll both have to go

out early and come home late every day. There won’t be warmth and happiness in the relationship if we don’t

spend time together as husband and wife.”

“So, you want your wife to stay at home and take care of you and your children?”

That was something she could not do.

Even after marrying, she still had to keep her career and be financially independent.

“I wouldn’t go that far. I want a wife who has a career but doesn’t have to go out early and comes home late every

day. I want someone who can allocate half her time caring for the family. I don’t care how much money she earns

as long as she’s happy. I can provide for a family–to support my wife and children.”

Duncan unknowingly listed Liberty’s current characteristics.

Liberty could be considered having a career now. She had to leave early every day, but she did not have to come

back late. Her business was only open for half a day, so the remaining half was free.

time for her.

Lily was smart and felt that the conditions Duncan put forward were a perfect match for Liberty, but she did not

point it out.

Duncan went to All You Can Eat for breakfast every day and was exceptionally kind to Liberty’s son, but there was

nothing wrong with that. He probably would not admit it himself that he took a fancy to Liberty.

“Both you and I are busy with work, but if we’re willing to find time to take care of our family, I believe we can do it.

If we get together like both our parents want, I’ll definitely take care of my small family with care. However, it’ll be

our home, so you also have to take care of it.”

Duncan replied. “We’re not together yet…”

“I was just making an analogy. Do you think I’m right? If you only want the woman to take care of the family while

you enjoy yourself without making an effort, we’ll end it here. We will only remain friends and business partners.”

What Lily wanted was mutual love, not unconditional effort from just one party.

“You’re right, Ms. Harmon. I’m not the kind of person who only cares about enjoying myself and not making the

effort to care for my family. Both the man and woman have to work together for a marriage to last. Only then will

the couple remain happy.”
