Rose Blooms: Tear off the Fake Mask of Boyfriend
Chapter 5
Cruz and Lane suddenly came in, asking James to leave.
They wanted to talk to me.
James took the toy and went to the living room.
"Maria, I was rude just now. I apologize to you."
Cruz looked apologetic.
"I love you too much. I'm afraid of losing you."
"When it came to the sensitive topic of dowry, I lost control."
He took my hand.
"You know about my family's financial situation. Being able to marry you is truly a blessing from heaven."
Cruz, from an ordinary rural family, changed his destiny by taking the SAT.
I come from a wealthy family. My parents owned a company. I had been raised like a princess since I was young.
Lane chimed in, saying, "Maria, even if there is dowry needed, I'm willing to let my son marry you despite losing everything."
...
"We're not interested in your family's wealth. We like you as a person."
The two of them spoke so sincerely that I almost believed it.
I took the initiative to hold Lane's hand.
"Lane, I know what you're thinking."
"It was my fault just now at the dinner table. I shouldn't have contradicted you and embarrassed everyone."
Seeing that I was being so considerate, Lane cried.
She nodded repeatedly to show her agreement.
Cruz was beside us with his eyes slightly red.
After speaking, Lane left, leaving the room to me and Cruz.
He looked at me with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
"Maria, you have matured now."
He used to think he was mature. He always couldn't stand my way of doing things.
Cruz, who came from a humble background, always felt that he had more experience than me in doing things.
When there were ambiguities between us, he shook his head mysteriously.
He indicated that I was inexperienced, and I needed more practice to keep up with him.
