Coming out of City Hall, Caleb and I became a legal couple.
He handed me two bank cards and said the same words as in my previous life.
I took them with excitement and smiled at him: "Thank you. Then go to work, I won't disturb you."
Caleb didn't turn around and leave like in my previous life. Instead, he looked at me, and after a while, nodded.
"Okay, I'm leaving. I won't drop you off."
He opened the car door, as if suddenly thinking of something, and turned to ask me: "Do you have a driver's license?"
I nodded: "Yes, why?"
I don't like cars and don't like driving.
But after the college entrance exam, my parents forced me to get a license, saying I might not use it, but I couldn't be without it.
Caleb said: "You can choose a car you like. It will be convenient for you to go anywhere in the future."
I was slightly surprised.
In my last life, whenever Caleb went out for business or to meet friends, he would answer the phone and drive away, never thinking about how I would get around.
In this life, he actually offered to buy me a car.
Might as well take it.
"Okay, thank you."
Caleb opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something else, but eventually got in the car.
I watched him leave and immediately called my friend to choose a car.
My friend envied me to death when she heard what I said.
"OMG, when will I meet such a peerless good man? No need to deal with him, no need to serve him, spend money freely, and be free as if unmarried, just with someone supporting you. This is simply my dream life!"
She grabbed my arm and shook it vigorously: "Does your husband have any brothers? Or friends? Birds of a feather flock together, his brothers and friends should be his type too, right?"
"No," I said with certainty.
I knew everything about Caleb in my last life.
My friend pouted regretfully: "Forget it, not everyone is as lucky as you. I can only envy you."
I just smiled and didn't speak.
Actually, in the beginning of my previous life, I wasn't this lucky, because...
I fell in love with Caleb.
Even though I initially just wanted to deal with my parents, after spending a long time together, I involuntarily discovered Caleb's strengths.
