Chapter 226

Not only did Adam have a pleasant voice, but the sincere tone mixed with a hint of helplessness and despair was something Lumma had never seen before. This made her, a woman with no marital experience, want to help him.

Lumma said, "Mr. Hills, in my opinion, the fact that you have these thoughts is a key factor to your marriage's success."

"Really?" Adam paused, then asked, "What do women typically expect from their husbands?"

"I can't speak for other women. As for my husband, I don't need him to make a lot of money, but his life cannot be complicated, respect me, my family, my career, and consult with me on any decisions. A successful marriage requires both partners to work hard." In Lumma's view, Lucas already met several of these criteria, which made her want to explore a relationship with him.

When Lucas had misunderstood her in the past, he had still shown a willingness to visit her sick grandmother, a clear sign of respect for elders.
