Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 1162

Noah was stunned. Him! A young man from a small farming village like him, without any talent whatsoever. A young man like him who had been working in a clothing factory for four years, somewhere most men were not willing to work at. He could not believe that his boss had chosen him.

But Noah was not excited. He was born a kind and calm man. "Boss, what skills do I possess, for you to choose me as your son-in-law?"

His boss was a straightforward man too. "I read your writing, your handwriting is beautiful. I also read the work manual that you logged. Once, when your team leader took leave and went home, you acted as the team leader. You kept track of everyone’s working hours and managed the team well, you're talented."

Noah was silent.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're a high school graduate, right?" His boss continued asking.

Noah nodded. "Yes, boss."

"Your family was too poor, they couldn’t afford to support you. That's why you quit school?" His boss was a smart man indeed, he could guess everything.

Noah nodded again. "Most of us living in the mountainous area in the north are very poor. Even now, the north doesn't have as many clothing

factories as the cities here in the south. Many healthy and strong young men are jobless.”

Hearing Noah's words, his boss looked thrilled. He told Noah honestly, "Hill, to be honest, I have a daughter who's two years older than you. She graduated from college two years ago. When she was i n her junior year of college, she dated a classmate and got pregnant.”

Noah did not reply, he was startled.

His boss laughed. "My daughter has seen you many, many, times. I'll be honest with you, she was the one who fancied you in the first place. If she didn't fancy you, why would I approach you? She's the only daughter I have. Of course, I have to make sure she's happy."

Noah was surprised. At that moment, he did not know what to say. He would be lying if he said he wasn't tempted. He was a young man from the mountains who had never seen the world. He did not even know the proper dining etiquette for eating in a big city like this. He was worried he would make too much noise while eating and become the joke of the town. He was just a country bumpkin. 1

He could be fancied by someone, even if she was a handicapped woman without the use of a leg, even if she already had a son. So what? For a man like him, what sort of wife could he marry if he returned to his small farming village in the mountains in the north? Noah said he wanted to return to his hostel to consider the offer, but in reality, he was trying his best to suppress his delight.

The next day, Noah specifically made his way to the phone booth in the city and called the town near his village. He agreed on a time and date with the townspeople and asked them to inform his mother up i n the mountain.

On the third day, Noah went to the city and made another phone call.
