Seven Years of Marriage with Jake novel Chapter 70

Chapter 2

The Carroll family was not excessively wealthy, but still with a few million dollars in assets to their name.

Naturally, Patrick spared no expense when it came to Yaritza.

He would take her on shopping sprees for the latest bags of the Miu Miu brand, buying up entire collections of merchandise from her favorite anime in one go.

For her birthday, he gifted her a big diamond ring.

In an upscale sky-high restaurant with live music, Patrick dropped to one knee, his eyes filled with fiery sincerity. "Yaritza, will you marry me? We may not be old enough to get a marriage license yet, but trust me, you'll be my wife one day!"

Yaritza, overwhelmed with emotion, replied tearfully, "I... I would like to!"

As the crowd around them cheered wildly, they kissed each other passionately.

Later that night, Yaritza posted on her social media: [Being loved feels like having a fortress to lean on, and he is my fortress.]

The accompanying picture showed a large bed in a hotel room. A muscular arm wrapped around the delicate shoulder of a girl, both of them partially covered by a white duvet.

The meaning behind the image was obvious.

The comments section was filled with playful banter from their friends.

(Having a wonderful night again, bro.]

[Bring your wife out for drinks sometime.]

[Don't forget to take measures.]

I spent a few minutes browsing through this nonsense before putting down my phone and resuming my math exercises.

In my previous life, my grades were not that outstanding, but they were enough to get me into a good university.

Now, given how much time had passed, I had forgotten quite a bit, and relearning everything was proving to be challenging.

So, aside from the essential breaks for eating and sleeping, I devoted almost all my time to studying. I woke up half an hour earlier each day to memorize my notes and reviewed key concepts before bed every night.

Gradually, I made noticeable progress.
