Chapter 587 Liking More and More
Ulysses had never lived a particularly luxurious life growing up.
Gerald never spoiled him with wealth.
He led by example, and Ulysses naturally absorbed these lessons, so he wouldn't turn out badly.
Moreover, he could be self-sufficient since elementary school, so his need for money wasn't that strong.
He had no material desires, so he didn't value property that much.
To him, emotions were more important than anything else.
Gerald said, "What do you think?"
Ulysses said, "You might think I'm a bit foolish, but in my heart, nothing is more important than emotions."
Gerald said, "How long have you known her?"
"Over a year."
"Over a year? Didn't you just start dating?"
"We've known each other for a long time."
Nicole couldn't help but speak up, "Stop talking about useless things. Anyway, I don't agree with you marrying into her family! What era is this, and you're still talking about that!"
Ulysses said, "Actually, my understanding of marrying into the wife's family isn't what you think. In the past, it was because the man's conditions were not as good as the woman's. Now, in our case, Izzy will understand."
"So what is your understanding?"
"It's just her family's business, I need to take care of it. And in the future, if we have children, we can have two, and one can take her last name."
Gerald coldly said from the side, "In my opinion, we shouldn't discuss things that aren't certain yet."
"What do you mean by things that aren't certain?" Ulysses was unhappy.
"You've only been together for a couple of months. Whether you can get married in the future is still a question. Why talk about marrying into her family?"
"I want to get engaged to her," Ulysses said. "Grandma, Dad, Kathy, will you support me?"
Kathy was stunned.
Gerald was also stunned, "Engaged?"
"Yes, we are deeply in love and want to spend our lives together. We are both adults, so what's wrong with getting engaged? If we reach the right age, we can get married."
Gerald directly said, "You do whatever you want."
After saying that, he took Kathy back to their room.
Kathy glanced at Ulysses but didn't say anything.
Ulysses sat next to Nicole, "Grandma, why is my dad like this?"
"Be glad he didn't whip you with a belt!"
"Grandma." Ulysses leaned his head on her shoulder, "You know, I've always valued emotions highly."
"Silly child," Nicole said, "Valuing emotions highly isn't necessarily a good thing. There's a difference between family and a lover. If the lover has good values and character, that's fine. But if they have character issues..."
"Grandma, Izzy definitely doesn't have any issues. She's even prepared to let me manage her company. She trusts me so much; how could she have character issues?"
"Now that you're with her, even if there are issues, you might not see them. That's why we say you can only see a person's true nature after being together for a long time. How long have you been together?"
Ulysses said, "I understand. So if we get engaged, you won't support us?"
"It's mainly too fast."
"But some people get married shortly after meeting."
"I can't explain it to you," Nicole said. "How long have you known each other? Why rush to get engaged?"
In the end, Ulysses went upstairs dejectedly.
He made a video call to Isadora.
Isadora quickly answered.
"I was just about to call you," Isadora said. "I just discussed it with my parents. They said not to mention marrying into my family to your family."
Isadora's parents felt that the two kids were just dating, and who knew how long it would last?
Of course, they weren't cursing the relationship.
But nowadays, young people's relationships had too many uncertainties.
Especially college students. Many of them broke up when they graduated.
So they felt it was best to let things happen naturally.
Talking about marrying into the wife's family was premature.
Besides, they had only been dating for a short time. If Ulysses mentioned marrying into his wife's family, his family would definitely disagree.
Even kids from poor families didn't want to do that, let alone his wealthy family.
Their relationship was still new, and the emotional foundation wasn't strong.
Saying certain things might make the other parents dislike them.
Ulysses was stunned when he heard this.
Isadora looked at him. "What's wrong?"
"I, I already mentioned it," Ulysses said. "I figured it had to be said sooner or later."
Isadora sighed, "Why are you so fast?"
"I'm not fast!" Ulysses instinctively retorted.
Isadora was helpless.
Ulysses finally spoke, "Izzy, I'm sorry. I mentioned it to my family, and they had quite a reaction."
Isadora said, "Of course, I expected that."
That was why she wanted to find a kid from a poor family.
Even kids from poor families found it hard to marry into the wife's family.
Let alone someone like Ulysses.
Isadora said, "So now, does your family have a bad impression of me?"
"No, no," Ulysses quickly said. "Every family is different. They understand but can't accept that. Once they meet you, they'll definitely like you."
Isadora said, "It's my fault. If I hadn't been fixated on this, things wouldn't have turned out this way."
"Don't worry about it. Let's just pretend it never happened and let things happen naturally, okay? My grandma said college relationships often end at graduation, but I don't think so. Let's have a good relationship and show them!"
Ulysses always managed to surprise her.
Isadora already liked him a lot, and now she liked him even more.
She said, "Ulysses, you're so wonderful."
Ulysses felt happy and sweet inside.
He lay on his pillow, staring at Isadora. "When are you going to school tomorrow?"
"In the afternoon. In the morning, I need to go shopping with my mom. By the way, I haven't asked you, what kind of business your aunt's family does. My dad said he wants to see if there's any opportunity for collaboration."
Ulysses was worried that the previous incident would be exposed.
He quickly said, "They just do some small business, probably no chance for collaboration."
"Small business?" Isadora didn't believe it. "Your grandma spent over a million dollars on a purse. That money wasn't earned by your dad, so it must have been given by your aunt. How can a small business make that much?"
Ulysses said, "I'll ask my aunt and get back to you."
"Alright," Isadora said. "See you tomorrow afternoon!"
