Chapter 265 Eloping

• “I wanted to be straight with my future in-laws. I couldn’t lie to them, right? Of course I told the truth.”
• “That’s fair.”
• “Yeah, but do you know what her dad said after that? He asked why I’d come this time. I said I was here to propose. Her dad shot back, with my situation, what right did I have to propose? He said I didn’t even have a place, so where would his daughter live after marriage? No car either—how would she get around? He said with what I make each month, it’s hard enough to feed myself, so how could I possibly support his daughter, let alone make her happy? Then he pointed at their big house and that old Audi, and told me he only has this one daughter. He’s never let her suffer or live a hard day in her life. So why should she marry me and live rough after? In the end, her dad told me to go back the next morning and never see his daughter again. He also said she won’t come to London City anymore.” Calvin Payne talked as he drank.
