"Charlie, I didn't mean to offend Paula."
After clearing her throat, Mrs. Sarmiento gave her son a sad look.
"I merely asked her to look for a better job as a favor so she wouldn't ever be dependent on you. Additionally, I discovered that you covered her house's mortgage."
Charlie sighed in disappointment. "She was outraged by it, I think. Regarding it, we reached a consensus. I'm still prepared to marry her."
With a hint of distaste, Mrs. Sarmiento asked, "So how about her? But if you are the only employee of the company, will you be able to live in peace? So how about her?"
I don't want to pressure Paula into finding a job, and I just don't want her to go back to Sunsky Holdings, but if we live together, we could live happily even if I'm the only one providing for our needs," Charlie said.
"Is that because she once dated the CEO's son there?"
