Chapter 3

I chose to believe Cruz for the time being. After all, we had been in love for a long time.

He was a decent man.

After a while, relatives from his family arrived.

We discussed that we would go to pay respects to our ancestors later.

Cruz's relatives came. There were many people.

During the meal, Cruz's aunt asked about my dowry.

Cruz and I had discussed this.

He, who came from a farming background, didn't want to spend all his parents' savings on his marriage.

I could relate to him and agreed to get no dowry.

After all, my family was not short of money.

Cruz and Lane couldn't help but smile all the time upon hearing this.

But the conversation between the mother and son today always made me feel uncomfortable.

In my heart, I started to doubt them.

After thinking for a moment, I spoke up.

"When it comes to the issue of dowry, my parents have the final say."

The mother and son couldn't hold up anymore. They stopped smiling.

"Oh..."

Cruz's aunt spoke with a long tone, looking at them with sarcasm.

"So we need to discuss it. I thought your family could get a cheap daughter-in-law."

After dinner, Cruz couldn't wait to pull me aside.

"Didn't your family agree to no dowry? Why do we need to discuss it again? Did you change your mind?"

He held my shoulders tightly, and it hurt.

I casually spoke a few words to him, trying to break free from his grasp.

"Your family is supposed to be a scholarly family, but it's all a lie."

"You were so firm in your words before, but now you're going back on your word."

I explained that I had said it casually.

"Putting aside the issue of the dowry, with so many people at the dining table, we should consider my and my mother's face even if we need to discuss it. You can not say such things."

"Looking at the smug and sarcastic look on my aunt's face, I am so angry at the thought of it."
