Chapter 1241


    "Yes."


    Naomi smiled and nodded before taking the seat opposite Mr.Roswald.


    He studied her and smiled.


    "What a surprise.I didn’t expect you to be so...elegant, Ms.Xavier.I thought..."


    "You thought what?"


    Mr.Roswalrd chuckled and continued.


    "After all, you don''t look much like your mother described." Naomi nodded.


    Something crossed Mr.Roswald, and h e picked up the menu.


    "Do you want to eat something? Feel free to order anything you want."


    She was stumped for a moment before replying with a smile, "No, thank you.I’ve already eaten.I came


    here only because you said you wanted to see me."


    "I see.So, would you like something to drink?" Mr.Roswald asked again.


    Unable to turn down his offer, Naomi ordered a cup of coffee.


    While he was having his meal, he asked about her work.


    Since Naomi worked in Soul as well, she was familiar with it.


    After they had finished talking, Mr.Roswald seemed rather satisfied with her as he said, "It truly


    surprises me that you''re very serious in your work.Do you have any ns after you get married?"


    ‘After I get married?’ Naomi’s eyshes trembled, and she shook her head.


    "Nope.I don’t have any ns." Mr.Roswald frowned slightly.


    "You don’t have any after-marriage ns? Could it be that you still want t o work after getting married?"


    "Why can''t I continue to work after I get married?" Naomi asked.


    Mr.Roswald was momentarily stunned.

    "That''s because people like you guys can''t take care of your career and family at the same


    time.Besides, after you get married, you need to take care of the kids, right?"Naomi was stumped.


    It took her quite a while before she came around to her senses and said, "What do you mean by people


    like us? Do we have to sacrifice our career after getting married?"


    Mr.Roswald’s smile froze, and his face turned solemn.


    "Ms.Xavier, so are you saying that you’re going to choose your career over your family and kids?"


    As if her thought amused him, he continued.


    "I’m an engineer with a monthly sry of $15,000.I can support my whole family.I don’t care how much


    my wife earns.I just want my wife to concentrate on her duties in the future." Naomi looked at him


    silently.


    Mr.Roswald picked up a ss of water and took a sip.


    After that, he decided to go into the main point.


    "In fact, I’ve run a background check on your family, Ms.Xavier.Both your parents are teachers, and


    although your family is fairly well-off, you’re far from being affluent.


    "I’m the only son in my family, and my father passed away at an early age.My mother is the manager of


    a well-knownpany.I currently have three properties in my name and also have a car.


    "You don''t have to work so hard anymore after we get married, Ms.Xavier.Besides, bing a


    housewife and taking care of the children is easier than going to work, right? I''m not asking for


    anything.I just want you to be good to my mother and help me to take care of my family.That''s all."


    After a short while of silence, Naomi lifted her head t o look at him.


    "So, you want your wife to give up on her career after marrying you and having children?" Mr.Roswald


    was stunned.


    "What?"


    "Not everyone has to abandon their career after they get married.It''s a matter of choice.It isn''t a


    must.Only if a person loves you will they marry you and help you to take care of your family.


    "We''ve just met, and you''re asking me to leave my work after marrying you.Are you looking for a wife or


    a babysitter?"


    Mr.Roswald looked at her incredulously.He did not know whether he should beughing or be angry at


    her.


    "Ms.Xavier, you aren’t young anymore.It''s true that you''re pretty and fit the criteria for my choice of


    spouse.However, as time passes, you''ll get older, and your beauty will wilt away.Do you think you still


    have the luxury of picking for the man you like?"


    Naomi gripped the cup of coffee tightly, but she did not say anything in return.


    Mr.Roswald continued patiently.


    "Besides, I''m a decent man with a good family background.If you marry me, your living conditions will


    improve significantly.I''ll also take care of your parents after w e get married.As for our rtionship..."
