Chapter 56 He Knew His Way Around Girls
As soon as Adeline asked that question, Steffen was so nervous for Curtis.
It was a tough question!
Curtis would seem hypocritical if he said that he didn't expect anything from his future spouse.
But at the same time, Curtis was afraid that his requirements for the future spouse were different from what Mrs. Riley had in mind.
Adeline was really a Literature teacher. Her question was so tough.
Curtis thought about it for a second, couldn't help but recalled the day when he and Adeline first met, and burst out laughing softly.
"Miss Burton, your question is kinda tough. When it comes to what I expect from my future wife, I think what she makes me feel is important. I want it's love at first sight, and that we hit it off. There is a moment when I know it's her I wanted to spend my life with."
Adeline's heart sank a bit at this.
Curtis answered her question sincerely.
Adeline had fantasized about this.
But she and Curtis were tied to each other by fate and forced to become husband and wife.
It was actually quite unfair for Curtis, wasn't it?
"What? Am I not answering your question very well?" Curtis stared at Adeline's preoccupied look, couldn't help but frown, and then tried to explain, "Miss Burton, you don't have to stress. Feelings are abstract and obscure. Since we are on a blind date, we need to spend more time together. Maybe we'll feel something for each other over time."
Adeline appreciated Curtis' encouragement and nodded. "Mr. Riley, I'm going to ask you another tough question. What do you expect from your wife after marriage?"
Curtis saw Adeline's wily side and couldn't help but chuckle.
"If I tell you that I'm not asking my wife to do anything after we get married, you might think I'm lying. But actually..."
With that, Curtis looked at Adeline right in the eyes. "I will be very indulgent of my love and always humor her. She doesn't have to change who she is because I like everything about her." This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Adeline's heart skipped a beat. Curtis was pretty cunning and even flirted with her when he was answering her question.
Adeline was not sure if what Curtis said was true or not, but as his future wife, she was thrilled to hear it.
"Of course, if I have to ask anything of her, I want her to trust me, believe that I love her, and never doubt my love and loyalty to her," Curtis smiled frankly. "To be honest, I guess there's no man who doesn't hate it when his wife is always looking over her shoulder for him and suspicious of him, going through his stuff."
Adeline nodded approvingly.
It seemed she'd really underestimated Mr. Riley, who was five years her senior.
His answer was perfect!
But Adeline still asked, "So would you ask your wife to be a full-time homemaker? What would you do if your wife's career conflicts with having and raising children?"
Curtis' eyes lit up after she asked the question.
Curtis was a bit glad that they had this blind date. It turned out that Adeline was quite uncertain about quite a lot of things about him, and felt insecure.
Curtis thought he could take this opportunity to be with her again so that they could bond with each other and foster trust.
"What's wrong?" Adeline cringed when she was being stared at by Curtis.
These were questions she really wanted to ask him herself.
"Nothing." Curtis looked at her with a gentle smile. "Since you ask me that question, I suddenly want to say something to my future wife."
"I want to tell my future wife that I will approve and support whatever she wants to be."
"If she wants to be a housewife, I will support her. As a man, I will try to bear the daily expenses of the family and let her live a comfortable life."
"On the contrary, if she wants to build up her career, I will also support her and help her with whatever I can and with whatever resources I have."
"I respect every lifestyle she wants and the different life choices she makes at different stages of her life."
"In my opinion, marriage is about walking side-by-side through an entire life of mutual fulfillment together, instead of asking your life partner to sacrifice to get what you want."
"If you think having children is in conflict with your career, it suggests that pregnancy should not be on the schedule yet, and we can take a beat on it."
"And in terms of looking after children, I'm not gonna lie and say I will stay home full-time with the kids. But I will try my best to look after the kids, and I can afford to hire a babysitter to help with the kids to ease my future wife's burden."
"I wonder what grade Miss Burton would give to my answer."
