Nowadays, young people often cohabit without registering their marriage, which is not much different from being married; they still do everything that needs to be done.
So whether or not he has kids is key!
“I have a five-year-old daughter,” Jacob answered truthfully.
“Ah?”
“What?”
Brynlee, who was asking, was stunned, and “mother-in-law” Daniela was also taken aback.
Even the two men, Dawson and Ivan, who had been mostly silent, were shocked! Dawson, usually a calm chief physician, twitched his mouth violently.
What is this?
An older, divorced man with a child brought home by his daughter! He looked at his wife Daniela, unable to help but silently complain: Hurry! You wanted me to hurry! How’s this for you now?!!
Seeing the wonderful expressions of the four elders, Guan couldn’t help but feel secretly pleased. She cheerfully said, “Divorced men are great; they have rich experience, and they won’t make the same mistakes they did the first time!”
“And look, employers prefer to hire experienced people, so finding a husband should also be about finding someone experienced, right?”
“Having kids is even better!”
“Walking in the door means becoming a mom, which saves so much trouble!”
“I also won’t have to bear the risk of childbirth.”
Guan became more and more excited, really getting into character, listing the benefits of an older divorced man with a child.
Jacob, the person involved, was left stunned, even starting to understand why some women love watching those motivational videos.
Damn, this feels good! Even though I’m a divorced man with a child, one day, my ideal partner will drive a Rolls Royce, bring a million in betrothal gifts, and take me home!!
For example, the child star Awen, who became famous through live streaming, married a divorced woman with an eight-year-old child.
“Stop it!!”
At this moment, Daniela forcefully interrupted Guan, who was spiraling into her thoughts.
She shot a fierce glare at her rebellious daughter, then turned to Jacob and said, “Guan is still young and doesn’t understand, but Jacob, you have experience; you should have a deep understanding of marriage. Given your age difference and your current situation, do you think you two are suitable?”
“I don’t need him to think; I need to think for myself!!”
Guan interjected, her tone firm: “Anyway, I think it’s quite suitable!”
“You!!”
Daniela was so angry she rubbed her forehead. She finally understood that her rebellious daughter had brought someone back with ill intentions.
“Daniela, don’t get worked up.”
Brynlee signaled her sister to calm down. She looked Jacob up and down and slowly said, “Jacob, our family is quite open-minded. As long as Guan agrees, we support it.”
“But you have experience; marriage needs a financial foundation to support it. You already have a child, and if you really marry Guan, you’ll also need to have a child of your own, or even two, which means a family of five!”
“So housing is a big issue. For a family of five, you’ll need at least a 140-150 square meter house, and considering future schooling for the kids, it’s best to buy in a school district.”
“This is the most practical issue, so do you have a 150-square-meter house in a school district?”
Brynlee’s approach was logical and reasonable, setting a high bar, hoping to make Jacob back down.
In any city, school district houses are relatively expensive. In Coastville, the average house price is around 15,000 Dollar, but good school district houses can cost nearly double. A 150-square-meter school district house would easily cost four to five million.
Daniela nodded slightly, mentally giving her sister a thumbs up, thinking it was indeed a good idea to call her sister over.
“Jacob, you have experience, so let’s talk openly and honestly.”
Seeing Jacob remain silent, Brynlee continued, “And this time, Jacob finally spoke: ‘I don’t have a 150-square-meter school district house.'”
Upon hearing this, the sisters exchanged glances, both smiling.
But then Jacob asked, “What about a 688-square-meter one?”
“If that’s not okay, I’ll sell it and buy a 150-square-meter one!!”
Brynlee: (°ー°〃) Daniela: (⊙⊙) Guan: ???
She quickly tugged at Jacob’s sleeve and whispered, “Big Brother, the act is over!!”
“Wait, I didn’t hear clearly. How many square meters is your house?”
Brynlee, coming back to her senses, asked.
“688 square meters.”
“The community is called Mimia Bay; it seems to have a school district.”
Jacob wasn’t sure if it had a school district, but a house at that price in the city’s core area should be good.
“Mimia Bay?”
“688 square meters??”
The sisters were no longer calm, and Dawson and Ivan also looked at Jacob in shock.
Mimia Bay is too famous in Coastville, especially for families like theirs; it’s a household name.
Because their relatively comfortable lives have allowed them to come into contact with people at this level, or to have interactions with people at this level.
For example, Daniela, who has always worked at the Women’s Federation, has naturally met many female entrepreneurs, some of whom live in Mimia Bay.
