Chapter 569


    The absurdity of matching social status!


    Was it a crime toe from a good home now?


    "Whatever he can offer you, I can match it," Jeffrey''s voice was a low rumble that filled with a tired


    rage that seemed to have no outlet, "Stop going on these blind dates."


    "He can marry me. Can you?"


    Jeffrey was about to retort when Karen cut him off, "Don''t tell me you can! Because I simply don''t


    believe it! Jeffrey, how long have we even known each other? Just that one night—yes, we got


    intimate—but every other time, we''ve been at each other''s throats! Now youe here saying you


    want to be my boyfriend and even marry me? How ludicrous is that? Listen to yourself. Do you


    believe your own words?"


    That was true.


    Even Jeffrey found it hard to believe.


    What was he being so stubborn for? There were plenty of fish in the sea.


    "You don''t believe I''d marry you, do you?" Jeffrey made up his mind, "Fine, tomorrow. Tomorrow


    we''ll go to city hall and make it official! We can deal with the detailster. Will that make you


    believe?"


    Looking up, he was met with Karen''s shocked face.


    "What are you even saying? Did you hear yourself?"


    "I know what I''m saying, and I''m not out of my mind." Jeffrey ran his fingers through his hair, his


    brows furrowed persistently, "Get your ID, I''ll pick you up tomorrow. What''s the big deal about


    marriage? If I marry you, that''s gonna be more reliable than your current date prospect, right?"


    "Hold on, just hold on," Karen waved her hands.


    She was flustered! The conversation with Jeffrey had taken such a bizarre turn!


    This wasn''t simply about rushing to the city hall, was it?


    "Jeffrey, I never nned on marrying you!"


    Jeffrey stayed silent.


    "I might not be a saint or have any hang-ups about having sex, but you''ve been with too many


    women, and you''re too much of a yboy. I don''t believe you''re ready to settle down for now.


    Maybe you can behave for a day or a month, but what about in the long run?" Karen didn''t want to


    anchor her life to a man teeming with instability.


    What would she do if, after marriage and kids, he returned to his partying ways, thus leaving her


    alone to cry with the baby in her arms?


    Fighting against it and getting a divorce would be such a hardship. The Turners could crush her


    average family in an instant, leaving her with nowhere to turn with her grievances!


    "I admit I''ve lived it up, and I''ve said that if you be my girlfriend, I''ll change. Give me a chance,


    yeah?" Jeffrey knew he couldn''t deny his past or make excuses, but he couldn''t travel back in time


    to change it either.


    "No chance, I can''t give you one," Karen was resolute, "Mr. Turner, we''re just not a good fit! Maybe


    you should y around a few more years, or find someone who matches your family''s status. I can''t


    afford to y your games."


    With that, she moved to get out of the car.


    Jeffrey''s hand shot out, pulling her back into a firm embrace.


    Their eyes locked, his features so handsome it was hard for Karen to utter another harsh word.


    "I''m not ying games, really."

    "I don''t believe I have the qualities or the charm to make you stay devoted to me. Do you


    understand that?"


    Despite Karen''s seemingly carefree attitude, she was acutely aware of her own situation.


    She didn''t aspire to climb socialdders or invite trouble into her life. Her life n was pretty clear.


    Hearing her, Jeffrey''s lips twitched, his gaze drifting to the new pink dress she wore, which he found


    so distasteful he wanted to rip it to shreds.


    "So, you really have to go on this date today?"
