Chapter 1177 - 1178: The Perfect Man
"Hmm?"
Mrs. Monroe’s words left Anna Morgan confused!
What foolish thing had she done!
She and Carter Lockwood were in love, things were good!
"Anna." Mrs. Monroe held Anna Morgan’s hand and spoke earnestly, "In the past, your father and I both favored Sean Lockwood. Our families are well-matched, and you grew up with Sean. We hoped you’d be happy in marriage to him."
"But Sean Lockwood didn’t cherish you. You seemed calm after he got married, but I’ve always been worried."
When Sean Lockwood was together with Zoe Quinn, Mrs. Monroe paid special attention to Anna Morgan’s mood during that time.
Anna Morgan acted as if nothing had changed, even seemed in better spirits.
Mrs. Monroe thought Anna Morgan was suppressing her sadness.
But Anna certainly wasn’t; she truly lost interest in Sean Lockwood all at once during that time.
"Mom, don’t worry. I’ll meet someone better."
Anna Morgan said confidently.
She already had.
"Anna, do you have someone you like?" Mrs. Monroe noticed the tenderness in her daughter’s eyes, sensing something was off.
Even though she and Carter Lockwood were in a hidden marriage, Anna Morgan thought she should share a hint with Mrs. Monroe.
Being married in secret really isn’t good!
In fact, she really wanted to loudly tell Mrs. Monroe that she was married and that her husband was Carter Lockwood.
But she was afraid Carter Lockwood wouldn’t be happy!
"Hmm!"
Anna Morgan responded, "Mom, he’s very good to me!"
"Really?" Mrs. Monroe was pleasantly surprised; Anna wasn’t hanging onto the rotten tree that was Sean Lockwood. She really was more successful than her.
"How does he look!"
"No, is he a good person?"
Compared to character, looks were more important.
Back then, what first attracted her to Miles Morgan was his appearance.
After all these years, only now has she understood what kind of person he really was.
"He is very handsome, and also a very good person."
Anna Morgan spoke in defense of Carter Lockwood.
Carter Lockwood was indeed handsome, but he wore a cold expression.
Once a person is cold, their good looks lose some charm, nowhere near as popular as Julian Ford in Solaria.
A very good person? That was only to Anna Morgan.
Other girls ran away the moment Carter Lockwood was mentioned, not daring to approach.
"This time, Counselor Zimmerman, he helped me hire him."
Anna Morgan said more good things about Carter Lockwood, hoping that meeting the parents would go smoothly when the time came.
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Monroe wasn’t happy; instead, she became anxious and worried again.
"Anna, how old is he!"
"About ten years older than me."
Anna Morgan said with a smile.
In the face of true love, age is just a cloud.
"Ten years!"
This made Mrs. Monroe uneasy.
She widened her eyes to look at Anna Morgan and asked softly, "Anna, tell me honestly, are you with him because you were forced to?"
He’s ten years older. Looking at Anna’s demeanor and the secrecy about his identity,
A relationship that can’t be made public must have some issues.
"No!"
Seeing Mrs. Monroe’s misunderstanding, Anna Morgan humorously embraced Mrs. Monroe, "Mom, rest assured."
"He really is very good, the best man I’ve ever met."
"Although he’s a lot older, I absolutely trust his character. I haven’t told you who he is yet because the time isn’t right."
"Mom, I love him."
Such a frank expression of her feelings for that man put Mrs. Monroe’s heart at ease, slowly.
Upon further thought, both her own and Miles Morgan’s choices have been dreadful; with her genes, could Anna do any better?
However, with Anna Morgan so resolute and seeing her so happy, Mrs. Monroe hoped she truly had met a man worthy of entrusting her life to.
