Back then, they were a couple. When they got drunk, it was only natural for him to carry her home, and there was nothing wrong with taking advantage of the situation.

The next day, Marie went to the Logan family’s house for dinner.

Deandre said calmly, “Career and marriage are not conflicting, you can get married first and then consider having children.”

Deandre glanced at Marie and said kindly, “It’s up to you to make your own arrangements. Dad was just making a suggestion. Let’s have dinner.”
