Anastasia paused. "Is there something else you need?"

"Well...," Melody hesitated, looking a bit sheepish. "Could you help me find a boyfriend? He doesn't need to be as rich as Mr. Ford, just someone with a steady income, preferably local, and I'm fine if he's been married before." Anastasia was momentarily speechless. Introducing Melody to someone seemed like setting them up for trouble.

Melody went on, "I've been thinking about settling down, finding a husband, someone who cares for me. I dream of being a housewife, raising kids. It's simple, but it sounds fulfilling."

Honestly, being a housewife was just her way of saying she wanted someone to support her financially.

Though Melody and Melinda were in the same line of work, they were quite different in temperament and values. Melinda sent most of her earnings to her family, while Melody focused on herself, always seeking comfort and luxury. Anastasia didn't answer directly. "Why don't you concentrate on getting better first? We can discuss the future later."

It was a polite way of saying no.

But Melody, hearing this, thought there was still hope and laughed, "Thank you, thank you."
