Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 238 Tess's Motives

In the restaurant.

After the seventh blind date, Corrie couldn't muster a sweet smile, as she had been forcing herself todo.

She took a sip of coffee from the table, attempting to push down her depression. But ultimately, she failed and dialed her father's number.

"I've made it clear I want an outstanding and capable husband. Who are these guys you keep setting me up with? I don't like any of them!"

Her father, Nicholas Bates, bristled with anger on the other end of the line. Despite his ire, he managed to keep his tone subdued. "Are you still unsatisfied? I think your last date is great. His father is a shipbuilding magnate. Who else could you possibly want?"

Corrie vented, "Yes, his father is super awesome, and yes, there are benefits if I marry him. But he lacks ambition entirely. He's content with a fortable life and doing nothing. He expects me to settle for that!"

Her frustration mounting, she continued, "I refuse to marry such a lackluster man. I want someone driven and capable!"

Nicholas rubbed his temples, exasperated. "What nonsense are you spouting? All you should care about is acquiring more wealth through marriage. Why do you need to seek out a motivated and capable man who you love?"

Corrie scoffed, "Dad, do you think I'm incapable of finding both love and wealth?"
