Chapter 70

Chapter 2

The Carroll family was not excessively wealthy, but still with a few million dollars in assets to their name.

Naturally, Patrick spared no expense when it came to Yaritza.

He would take her on shopping sprees for the latest bags of the Miu Miu brand, buying up entire collections of merchandise from her favorite anime in one go.

We may not be old enough to get a marriage license yet, but trust me, you'll be my wife one day!" Yaritza, overwhelmed with emotion, replied tearfully, "I... I would like to!"

As the crowd around them cheered wildly, they kissed each other passionately.

Later that night, Yaritza posted on her social media: [Being loved feels like having a fortress to lean on, and he is my fortress.]
