Chapter 255 Do You Really Want To Marry Me
“Getting yourself a rich woman, for example?”
Zachary patted the back of Lysander’s hand. “Stop thinking foolish things. It’s you that I like. I wouldn’t be interested in a rich woman regardless of how much money she has.”
Just then, the sound of a WhatsApp notification pinged.
It was Laura asking Lysander to give her a call after reading the message.
“Is it Mrs. Thorne?” he asked.
“Yeah.”
“She’s probably worried about you.”
When Lysander called her mother, it only rang once before the latter picked up. “Lysander? Are you two on your way back?”
“You two?”
“You and Zach, of course! I heard from Camila that he brought you to his company’s gathering today. It didn’t want to bother you when you youngsters are having fun, but I noticed it’s raining outside and was worried you wouldn’t be able to get back safely if you two stayed out too late.”
“We’re on the way back already. I’ll be home soon,” came Lysander’s reply.
“Oh, that’s good. By the way, Zach didn’t drink, did he?”
Lysander glanced at him. His eyes were clear and bright, and his mind was lucid. There was not the slightest sign that he was drunk.
“No.”
“That’s fine, then. He’s reliable and does everything to a tee. You must learn your lesson well this time. Don’t always be too independent. Men like women who are a bit gentle and clingy. Camila told me he has been quite tired recently. You should pay him more attention. Don’t let him feel as though he’s the only one interested,” Laura advised.
Lysander took a deep breath before replying, “I know what I’m doing, Mom.
“It’s not that I want to nag you. That time when you wanted to marry Josiah, I thought that you were never one to let others worry, so I didn’t say much. But later… Lysander, Zach is a good person. He has never been married before and is young, capable, and good-looking. Most importantly, he cares about you and knows you well. I genuinely think he’s a good match.”
“Mom, what exactly are you trying to say?”
“Well, I’m just thinking you’re not that young anymore. Aren’t pregnancies for women over thirty concidend-hich rick? It’s more tavinur on the body and the recoueru is tougher. If your u

else to do, so we could help to look after your kid. Camila feels the same way, too. When she came over for dinner today, she even hinted that she wants to settle the marriage arrangements as soon as possible.”
“Mom, I’ve been busy at the hospital lately and Zachary’s company has also taken on a big project. We’ll talk about this later.”
“Don’t! It’s okay if you guys don’t have time. Your father and I can help you two with the preparations! Also, don’t worry about the house. Your father and I have some savings, and you can have it all. Our family must also contribute half of the funds to buy a house. That’s our bottom line.”
Lysander’s heart softened. In a gentle, reassuring tone, she said, “Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll discuss the matter with Zachary, okay?”
“All right. Discuss it among yourselves. If you need anything, just let your father and me know anytime. This time, we’ll definitely give you our full support.”
After ending the call, Lysander let out a heavy sigh.
“Is Mrs. Thorne urging us to get married?” asked Zachary.
“Mm-hmm.”
“I guessed as much. My mom has also been nagging me these past few days to the point that I’m terrified when I see a call from her.”
She smiled but said nothing.
He continued, “Actually, our parents are right. They’ll feel at ease the sooner we get married. Here’s what I think. Why don’t we get our marriage certificate first, then take our time preparing for the wedding?”
Turning around, she looked straight into his eyes. “Zachary, do you really want to marry me?”
