Marrying Without My Eight-Year Boyfriend Knowing novel Chapter 18

“Dear, your boyfriend really cares about me. Don’t be sad; as you get older, no one wants you anyway.”

I cheerfully replied, “Have fun, you two!”

After that, she went quiet. What a shame—I was hoping she’d send more; tonight’s entertainment is rare. In my dull life, I need a few "virtual pets" to keep things lively, especially the dumb and wicked ones.

After all, I adore my boyfriend. I hope he spends his life with his true love.

“Are you coming back tonight?”

Alex Wright’s disappointed voice came through, “I’m so sorry, babe, the company just called in some last-minute overtime. You know, I’m at a critical point in my promotion—I can’t blow this.”

I gently advised him not to overwork, “Take care of yourself. You’re getting older, so don’t overdo it.”

Truly, he shouldn’t overindulge. I’d hate for him to not make it to his "natural" end.

“I’ll be careful, babe. I still need to marry you, have kids, grow old together.” Alex’s voice was soft and warm, almost making me laugh.

“Alright then, see you tomorrow.”

"Good evening, everyone. Dinner should be over by now, so here’s a little after-dinner entertainment. Wishing you all a pleasant life."

The lively chat fell silent, deathly quiet.

I took a slow sip of water, grabbed my bag, and headed out.

Alex, you won’t have it easy either.
