I was in such a blissful state that I didn't even tease her about doing a handstand and washing her hair.
His parents had always adored me and wanted me to join their family.
But my parents didn't like Caleb.
I was shocked!
I was shocked that they didn't like such a wealthy and handsome man!
On top of the fact that I was the one chasing after Caleb from the start, which led them to think he wasn't as into me as I was him, my mom also said, "He's too handsome and too wealthy. We're afraid you won't be able to hold on to him, and the odds of a future change in marital status are high."
I felt speechless.
I told Caleb what my parents had said, and he shared his predicament.
"The business is booming, no bankruptcy on the horizon. As for my face, I can't very well rearrange it to look uglier, can I?"
I nearly died laughing, then threw my arms around him and planted a kiss.
"What do you propose, then?"
"Let me meet with your parents first. Even if I'm facing a death sentence, I deserve a chance to plead my case, don't you think?"
"How about today?"
"You've already talked to your parents?" Caleb asked.
"Nope, I'm going for a surprise attack. We're going in blind."
Caleb was at a loss.
