“Father, it’s impossible for me to marry this pervert.” Emily Carter stomped her foot angrily and said, glaring at William Parker’s sloppy appearance, which was worlds apart from the prince charming in her heart. Not to mention, he had even peeped at her body—though calling it an open and aboveboard look might be more accurate.

“Xin’er, I can give in to you on anything else, but on this matter, there’s no room for discussion.” James Carter said with unquestionable authority, the image of that bright, sunny face flashing through his mind.

“But I don’t have any feelings for him at all.” Seeing the seriousness in James Carter’s eyes, Emily Carter’s momentum weakened a bit, her eyes shimmering with tears, looking pitiful and moving.

James Carter glanced at Emily Carter with disdain, thinking to himself, here she goes again. But this time, there was no room for compromise. He said lazily, “Feelings can be cultivated over time. From now on, William Parker will live here with you. With someone to look after you, your dad can be at ease.”

“Ugh!” Hearing her father’s words, Emily Carter was on the verge of breaking down again. Living together? James Carter actually wanted her to live with this pervert? Who knew what this pervert might do to her? But seeing James Carter’s resolve, Emily Carter didn’t expect her dad to change his mind anymore, so she couldn’t help but look toward her mom, David Turner.

David Turner spread her hands and gave a wry smile, helpless. In this matter, if she disagreed, James Carter could even turn against her. After decades of marriage, she knew James Carter all too well.

“Xiaofeng, you don’t have any objections, do you?” James Carter turned his gaze to the always-silent William Parker and asked.

“I’ll do whatever Uncle Hai arranges.” William Parker replied casually, a simple smile on his face, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking. Seeing this pervert’s innocent look, Emily Carter really had the urge to kill William Parker, thinking to herself, with such a good thing, how could this pervert possibly refuse?

Nodding, James Carter smiled in satisfaction and continued, “Xiaofeng, you haven’t been out for three years, so you can’t fall behind the world. I’ll help you with the paperwork in a bit. Tomorrow morning, you and Xin’er will go to Jinghua University together. Your Aunt Xiao and I are leaving tomorrow, so Xin’er, you’ll have to take care of things.”

A thoughtful light flashed in William Parker’s eyes as he nodded. Indeed, after staying in the mountains for three years, the bustling city felt a bit unfamiliar. At his age, it was impossible to go back to high school, and a university campus might be a good choice. As for the last part, William Parker simply ignored it, thinking to himself, does Emily Carter really need him to take care of her? It would be good enough if she didn’t ‘take care’ of him.

At this moment, Emily Carter was even more confused. What’s going on here? Let William Parker take care of her?

“Xiaofeng, go take a shower and change your clothes first. We’ll have a family meal together, then let Emily Carter take you to get a haircut and buy some decent clothes. You can’t go around looking like this.” James Carter pulled William Parker up and personally took him to get clothes and shower.

Watching the two of them walk into another room, Emily Carter sat on the sofa in a huff. So now they’re a family already?

After a while, William Parker came out after his shower, his wet long hair draped over his shoulders, his dark, bright eyes dazzling, giving off a stunning impression. He had the physique of a classic handsome man. Although his clothes didn’t fit, they still couldn’t hide William Parker’s extraordinary aura. Seeing William Parker at this moment, Emily Carter was dazed for a moment before quickly looking away and letting out a cold snort.

At this time, Aunt Fang had already finished preparing dinner. Each person ate with their own thoughts, and afterward, at James Carter’s strong insistence, Emily Carter ‘took’ William Parker out together.

As one of the most developed cities in China, the night sky of Tianjing was always shrouded in a dazzling curtain of lights, as bright as day. William Parker looked at the bustling city with its endless streams of traffic, feeling as if it were a world away.

“Pervert, keep up. If you get lost, don’t blame me.” At this moment, Emily Carter had changed into casual women’s clothes, looking valiant and spirited, radiating sunshine.

“Can’t you call me something else?” William Parker looked at Emily Carter and said calmly.

“What, you dare to do it but are afraid to be called out?” Emily Carter glanced at William Parker, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly.

“Alright then, dear, where are we going now?” William Parker smiled indifferently.

Emily Carter instantly stopped in her tracks, flames practically bursting from her body. Seeing the innocent smile on William Parker’s face, she shouted angrily, “Bastard, try calling me that again!”

“Dear, you’re my fiancée. Isn’t that what I should call you?” William Parker looked at her with an innocent expression.

“Keep pretending, just keep it up!” Emily Carter sneered, calming herself down. A seductive smile appeared on her face as she leaned closer to William Parker and said, “Dear, let’s go get a haircut first.”

“Uh!” William Parker instantly got goosebumps, glancing at the beautiful girl beside him. A faint fragrance drifted into his nose. William Parker didn’t know what Emily Carter was up to, but everything went smoothly after that. After the haircut, the two of them went to a clothing mall and bought some brand-name clothes. To outsiders, William Parker and Emily Carter looked like a perfect couple, close and well-matched.
