Chapter 8

After careful consideration, Daniel decided to marry Alice while concealing his true identity. Then, he planned to find an opportune moment to expose Alice’s true nature and make his children hate her. After that, he would divorce her.

“Come down,” Daniel said. “I promise you. I will marry Miss Doyle.” He nodded.

Coco looked at his father with a serious expression and said, “We are tru men. We honor our words. Otherwise, we are as dependable as chocolate teapots!”

“Alright, we’ll walk the talk, but you must adhere to the rule we agreed upon,” Daniel said.

Upon hearing this, Aidy and Coco exchanged a glance.

Before Alice woke up, their father had made it clear that he would use a false identity until he developed feelings for Alice. This was also a way to protect Alice, or so he claimed.

Now that their father had agreed to marry Alice and let Alice be their mother, they reluctantly compromised and decided not to disclose their true identities to her for now.

“Alright,” the two children said in unison.

Leaning against the door of the ward, William had an expression of astonishment on his face.

William thought, “So, this older brother of mine, who is cu nning and scheming in his dealings with others, has no love life,, and someone who is highly wary of women, has now handed himself to a woman just like that?”

“The point is that this woman he hands himself to is a C-list female artist he meets for the first time…

Finally, after coaxing the two children to sleep, Alice stretched. She then said, “Sir, let’s go out and have a chat.”

Daniel glanced at his younger brother and entrusted him with taking care of his children. Then, he went to the corridor with Alice.

“Our family places great importance on keeping promises,” Daniel spoke first. “Since I promised my sons, I will definitely marry you. You don’t have to worry.”

He would fulfill his promise to marry her. Still, before thoroughly assessing the situation, he would not allow her to move into Khawst Community or let her understand his true background.

“Um…” Alice pressed her temple. She had not expected things to develop this way.

“Since he agrees to marry me, can I use this man to deal with Travis?” she thought.

“Sir, let’s go to collect the marriage license tomorrow morning,” she said. “Is it okay?”

Daniel raised an eyebrow. “Well, she has revealed her hidden agenda,” he thought. “She’s so eager to marry me…

“She definitely has ulterior motives.”

Upon seeing the expression on Daniel’s face, Alice knew that he must have misunderstood. She quickly explained.

“To be honest, it’s like this,” she said. “I’m being pressured into marriage by my boss. He wants me to get married before tomorrow evening to avoid getting canceled.

“So, I was thinking, if you agree to marry me, can we go to collect the marriage license tomorrow morning?”

“Okay,” Daniel said. He fixed his cold gaze on Alice’s face. It was as if he wanted to see through her.

“However, I think you should first understand my situation before making a decision,” Daniel added.

“Uh… Oh, I forgot to ask for your name,” Alice said as she scratched her head and smiled awkwardly. She realized she was too hasty and had not even asked about his situation.

“He must find me forward or impulsive,” she thought.

“My name is Daniel Kaur,” Daniel said. “I’m 29 years old and working as a financial specialist at Kaur Group. My monthly salary is 3 thousand dollars after deducting a portion of my salary for social insurance and provident fund. Currently, I don’t own a house or a car, and I have a credit card debt of 16 thousand dollars.

“Every month, I have to pay two thousand and four hundred dollars for my sons’ kindergarten fees. I also have to pay for my parents and siblings’ living expenses. If you want to marry me, you must share these responsibilities with me until I get promoted.”

He believed no woman would agree to marry him after hearing that he had to bear the burden of such financial

commitments.

So, he was waiting for her to be unable to bear the burden and reveal her true intentions.
