In my opinion, since we were going to get married in the future, we'd better live together in advance, which was more convenient for our work and life.

Unfortunately, his mother strongly opposed it.

That woman, who carried a bit of old-fashioned elegance, couldn't tolerate cohabitation before the marriage, hoping that her son and future daughter-in-law could abide by this.

According to his mother, this was a manifestation of self-respect and self-love for both men and women.

I had no objections. Living together was a matter of different opinions. Living together didn't mean a lack of self-respect and self-love. After all, she was my future mother-in-law. If I could compromise for a while in exchange for a harmonious mother-in-law relationship in the future, I would be fine with that.

Besides, Gavin and I had a long way to go, and there was no need to rush.

But it meant that we didn't have much time to be together every day. Apart from dating, the time we were together the most was during commuting.

Unfortunately, I had to go to the library tonight, and I couldn't go home with him.

A few days ago, my boss, Linda, patted my shoulder and told me that she had high hopes for me. If I could pass the CPA exam this year, she would give me the position she was going to vacate.

I had been working hard in Chicago for so many years to settle down here. Now the opportunity was right in front of me. If I missed it, I would hate myself.

However, the shared apartment was noisy and messy, which was not a good place to study.

I packed up and prepared to go to the library after work. Then my cell phone rang.

"Scarlett, have you finished work?" It was a call from Gavin.

"Didn't I tell you that you don't have to pick me up?"

"I know you're going to study, so I brought you a cup of coffee to refresh yourself."

"Is it just delivering coffee?"

"I want to see you."

I couldn't help but laugh, thinking, "Oh my goodness. How did I happen to meet such a great man?"

I happily ran downstairs and rushed into his arms, only to see the rear car window slowly lowering, revealing a delicate and beautiful face.

"You two get along so well," Eileen said.

I was stunned.

Gavin explained, saying, "I met Miss Solomon on my way and gave her a ride back as it was on my way."

"On the way? On the way again?"

"Why are there so many coincidences today?"

I was annoyed to hear these words now!
