NovelEnglishFrom Jeremy Quest's perspective, Xyla Quest could understand how lonely it'd be after a person had retired.
This was especially the case when his daughter couldn't be by his side all the time.
Although Jeremy described everything through rose-colored glasses, it was difficult to predict things in the future.
Jeremy might think this way, but Betty Starmount might not...
"I promise I won't spend too much of our family's money on her. Also, I promise that you're the one I love the most no matter what...
"Also, I know what you're worried about. Don't worry. I promise I won't get her pregnant. I won't allow her to put a claim on our assets by having children...

Xyla thought about it seriously for a moment. In the end, she still decided to listen to her father.
