Adam glanced casually at the photo, but because it was still wrinkled, he couldn’t make out the girl in the picture.
“Grandma, are you sure you want me to marry this girl?”
“Adam, this is my final wish before I pass away. Will you fulfill it?” Catherine held her chest, feigning a few coughs.
“Lumma is truly remarkable. She possesses an exceptional character, knowledge, and beauty. In short, she excels
in every aspect. Marrying her would be a stroke of luck for you.”
Having lived for over twenty years, Adam had never felt attracted to any girl, and he had never considered
marriage before. However, Catherine’s earnest desire for him to get married made him willing to fulfill her wish.
Catherine held her chest, feigning a frail look as if she could pass away at any moment. “Adam, say something.
Cough, cough… What do you think of Lumma’s appearance? Is she the type you like? Let me tell you, I have met
Lumma, and she’s really amazing, both in looks and mannerisms…”

considered her a good person, it was sufficient for Adam. Marrying anyone would be equally acceptable to him.
“What?” Catherine couldn’t believe her ears and asked repeatedly, “What did you say? Adam, say it again, slower.”
Adam smiled and replied, “I said I promise to marry her.”
Catherine was stunned for a few seconds. “Adam, are you being serious?”
“When have I ever lied to you?” Adam responded.
“Marrying her isn’t just about bringing her home. If you marry her, you must treat her well. Can you do that?”
Catherine questioned.
Adam affirmed, “If she becomes my wife, I should definitely treat her well.”
“Alright then, it’s settled. You better not go back on your word. If you dare to go back on it or mistreat Lumma, I will
break your legs,” Catherine warned him while eagerly dialing a phone number on her mobile phone. “Maria, Lucas
has agreed to get married. How does Lumma feel about it?”
Catherine didn’t put the call on speaker, ensuring that Adam couldn’t hear the conversation. With growing
excitement, she exclaimed, “Lumma has agreed too! That’s fantastic, absolutely fantastic. To prevent any
unforeseen delays, let’s have them get their marriage certificate as soon as possible, alright? We can plan a
splendid wedding when the young couple has the time.”
Even before anything was set in stone, Catherine referred to them as a “young couple.” Adam listened quietly
without correcting her. As long as Catherine was happy, that was all that mattered.
“Yes, yes, you’re right. Nowadays, young people don’t really like traditional weddings. But it’s okay, we’ll go along
with Lumma’s preferences. If she wants a destination wedding, we’ll have a destination wedding. If she wants a
traditional ceremony, we’ll have a traditional ceremony.”
“I know Lumma just graduated. Don’t worry, once Lumma marries into our family, we will treat her well and never

“How about they go and get their marriage certificate tomorrow? By the way, is Lumma in Red Pine City? Oh, yes,
Lumma moved here when she started attending the university.”
And so, without asking any further questions, Catherine arranged his marriage.
Adam listened and didn’t inquire further. He always trusted Catherine’s judgment. If she thought the girl was good,
he believed her.
The next day, Adam went to City Hall with to register their marriage.
As soon as he arrived there, he received an important phone call. There was an issue at the Nocalo subsidiary that
needed his immediate attention.
After ending the call, he looked up and saw a young girl approaching him. He put away his phone and heard her
ask, “Are you Lucas?”
Her voice was soft and sweet, and it felt pleasant to listen to. She was dressed formally, wearing a white blouse
paired with a black skirt. Adam had a good first impression of Lumma.
