Chapter 1670: Chapter 1644: As Far as the Eye Can See, Eternal Love: Asking My Secretary for Help

“Mom, look at you!” Joseph Lancaster seemed helpless, “I knew you’d ask like this, so I didn’t dare to tell you.”

“What about us? We care about you!” Lorelei Howard said discontentedly, “An ugly daughter-in-law has to meet the in-laws sooner or later; you can’t hide her forever!”

“Sigh,” Joseph Lancaster sighed as if he was in a difficult situation, “Her father is an ordinary worker, her mother doesn’t work…”

“Well, what about your girlfriend, does she work?” Lorelei Howard interrupted her son anxiously; if the girl doesn’t work, even if she’s as pretty as a flower, she wouldn’t agree.

Although the Lancaster Family is rich and doesn’t care about the girl’s family conditions, if not seeking equal social status, at least the conditions should be similar. If they marry into a poor family, they’d be laughed at by others!

Joseph Lancaster smiled, looking very helpless, “Mom, if she didn’t have a job, how would we have met!”

Lorelei Howard’s eyes widened, subconsciously leaning forward and asking, “Do you mean you met during a business deal?”

Bodhi Lancaster also looked at his son, though he hadn’t spoken, his face was serious.

In his view, the girl’s family environment is important; the kind of family brings up the kind of children, and he doesn’t want his son to marry a woman who’s unreasonable.

“Mom, she’s my secretary.” Joseph Lancaster said, slightly shyly, perfectly controlling all his expressions, and at this moment, the image of Violet Zimmerman appeared in his mind, unconsciously softening his gaze.

Seeing their son’s reaction, the couple exchanged a glance, and before Lorelei Howard could speak, Bodhi Lancaster said.

“Since she can be a manager’s secretary, her education must be good! Bring her home this weekend and let your grandfather see her too!”

Joseph Lancaster said this purely to avoid his parents’ matchmaking pressure, so he pushed his secretary forward as a shield, since Secretary Carter was already married, even if he was forced to ask her for help later, it wouldn’t be a problem.

But—

Secretary Carter is a year older than him, and he’s not sure if his parents will “disapprove” when they find out.

“Ahem,” Joseph Lancaster cleared his throat, slightly troubled, “Dad, Mom, Vesper is a year older than me.”

The Lancaster couple paused for a moment, and Lorelei Howard quickly laughed and said, “It’s okay, it’s okay. It’s good for the woman to be a bit older, she’ll be caring!”

Joseph Lancaster couldn’t believe his parents were so easily fooled; he mentioned it casually and they believed him.

Having passed the home hurdle, he only needed to talk to Secretary Carter the next day. On the weekend, he’d ask her to stop by the house as a formality, and he’d consider it overtime pay.

Joseph Lancaster had made up his mind, and the next day, the secretary brought in documents for him to sign. After signing, Joseph Lancaster called Vesper Carter.

“Secretary Carter, I have something I’d like to ask you to help with.”

Vesper Carter looked at him, confused, and took a while to react, then laughed and said, “Manager, just say what it is, there’s no need for formalities with me!”

Joseph Lancaster awkwardly scratched his forehead, a bit embarrassed, “Here’s the thing.”

Speaking of this, Joseph Lancaster was even too embarrassed to look at his secretary, as that era focused too much on male-female relations, unlike the openness of today.

“My family keeps pushing me to date, but I don’t want to right now, so…”

Joseph Lancaster stammered, and by then Vesper Carter had guessed something, but she didn’t interrupt him, standing by the desk with the files waiting for him to continue.

“So I lied to my family and said I already have a girlfriend, and they want me to bring her home this weekend.”
