Caroline’s expression gradually faded into one of resignation. How can we talk about marriage when we don’t even know each other? I have no idea what the other person is like, what his true personality is, or even what he is like beneath the surface.
It felt as though they were pushing her toward marriage under the guise of concern, wanting to kick her
out.
The memory of the man from her past life flashed through her mind.
He had pretended to love,her, yet behind her back, he was involved with Helen.
The worst part? When she had refused to sleep with him before marriage, he shamelessly flaunted his affairs with other women right in front of her.
Later, manipulated by Helen, he had finally slept with her, only to boast about it afterward, hoping to make her feel insecure.
She had no desire to be tangled up with such repulsive men.
Caroline shook her head firmly. “This marriage was arranged when Mom and Dad were still alive, and it’s been over 20 years. Maybe Mr. Grayson already has a girlfriend by now. It’s better to just let it go and forget about it.”
To the outside world, the Graysons‘ heir might appear to be the ideal gentleman–polished, sophisticated, and well–mannered–but Caroline knew the truth. He was a notorious womanizer.
People didn’t know about the many mistresses he kept on the side, but she did.
Miguel, who had no knowledge of this, furrowed his brow in confusion. “You really think Mr.
yson is
like that? The Graysons are known for their impeccable manners. Mr. Grayson has never had a girlfriend -he’s a refined, exceptional man. If you married him, you’d be one of the luckiest women alive. And you’re still not happy about it?”
Miguel’s mind began to doubt Caroline’s judgment.
In his eyes, she had little to offer besides her looks. She lacked education, had a fiery temper, and didn’t seem to have any real substance. With her attitude, she wouldn’t even last as a housemaid, let alone marry into a prestigious family like the Graysons.
He knew plenty of maids at the Grayson estate–young women, all university–educated, who would be far more suited to a role in that family.
If it weren’t for Teresa’s affection for her mother, this marriage proposal wouldn’t have even been considered.
“How do you know he’s such a gentleman? Do you even know him at all?” Caroline shot back, her voice firm. “I’m not marrying him, no matter what.” She stood up and walked toward the wardrobe, her mind already set on getting ready for her bath
Miguel’s frustration grew. “Is this about that boyfriend of yours? I’m telling you right now–break up with him. Stop embarrassing me!”

couldn’t even bring himself to say it aloud. It was too humiliating.

Seeing that Caroline remained silent, Miguel’s anger reached its peak. “I’m not here to argue. I’m simply informing you. So think about it tonight!”
With those harsh words, he stormed out.
I can’t understand her. Mr. Grayson is so rich and handsome, with a great personality.
Caroline will be drowning in wealth and luxury after they get married, and she’ll make all of us proud.
With in–laws like that, we won’t need to worry if our family runs into any trouble. They will definitely be able to help
out.
So why is she so against this?
She’s so stupid!
Meanwhile, Caroline couldn’t be less bothered.
To her, now that she had a second chance at life, the idea of marrying into the Graysons seemed like the ultimate waste of it.
After taking her bath, she lay on her bed and accepted a job request through an online platform.
The client even added a tip as a gesture of appreciation.
The following morning, Caroline woke up early, determined to get to her client’s house before 9:00 a.m. When she saw that breakfast wasn’t ready, she decided against eating at home.
She changed into her clothes and shoes, ready to head out, when Miguel called out to her. “Caroline, where are you going so early?”
Caroline turned to face him. He was already sitting at the dining table. “I’m going to find a job.”
She figured if she told him she was working as a private chef, he would just say something unpleasant again, so she decided to keep it to herself.
Cooking jobs were just a way to make quick money and gain experience for her ultimate goal, opening her own restaurant, just like in her past life–but this time, on her own terms.
Fabian, who was on his way to the restaurant, overheard and scoffed. “You? Find a job? When you worked at the family’s garment factory, people protected you. But once you’re on your own, with no connections, no skills–who’s going to hire you? Maybe you could work as a maid.”
Helen, overhearing the conversation, couldn’t resist a smirk..
To her, Caroline seemed fit only for menial work, like being a maid.
Miguel quickly cut off any further remarks. “Fabian, aren’t you supposed to be heading to the store?”
Fabian, realizing Miguel didn’t want to discuss Caroline any longer, nodded and shifted his focus. He had to get to work soon anyway. “Wren, is breakfast ready yet?”
