Rose Blooms: Tear off the Fake Mask of Boyfriend

I received a message from my best friend on my cell phone.

I told her all that had happened.

She advised me to run away quickly.

"He is interested in your family's assets. He wants you to marry him to support his family."

Of course, I knew it.

I chatted with her while packing my luggage, and preparing to go back to school.

Every time I came to his house, I always asked to sleep in another room.

Because of this, Cruz even fought with me.

I insisted on not sleeping in separate rooms before getting married, and he agreed.

I was about to finish tidying up soon.

I planned to sneak out quietly.

As soon as I arrived at the door, Lane asked me from the kitchen, "Maria, it's so late. Where are you going?"

...

On All Souls' Day, there were some customs in Cruz's family.

In the evening, men would worship their ancestors outside, while women stayed at home and cooked for them before they came home.

...

"Lane, there is something urgent at school. I need to go back quickly."

Lane smiled and shook her head.

"Silly child. You are still too young to understand the importance and urgency."

"The most important thing for women is to focus on the family. The advice that women should prioritize their careers is just a trick for young girls like you."

She educated me with great earnestness.

"Those women who prioritize their careers over their families will end up getting divorced. What good can come out of that?"

Seeing that I was still standing there, she sighed.

"Well, since you're busy, go first."

"Although you are a college student, there are many things you need to learn about family matters. I will teach you patiently later."

I nodded politely to her.

When I was leaving, I asked her, "Lane, do you know about April Fools' Day?"

...

She shook her head in confusion.

Seeing such a situation, I quickly left.
