Chapter 1093: 003 Stella Carrington and Liam Carrington’s Backgrounds_2

"Take a look," Simon Carrington picked up the water glass in front of him and took a sip, "During your return this time, did your parents ask you to go on any arranged dates or something?"

"Ah?" Daisy Willow didn’t know how their conversation had suddenly jumped to this topic, "I didn’t, did you?"

"Well, my parents are somewhat anxious. They think it’s not easy for a grown man to take care of two children by himself, so they suggested I find someone to help me," Simon said, then glanced over at Daisy Willow, who averted her eyes.

"Yeah, I think they’re right. Think about it, you by yourself, if you take care of the company you can’t take care of home. And with a home and two children, you do need to find a woman to help you," Daisy Willow agreed, she sometimes really sympathized with Simon Carrington; with Elena Duncan it was different, after all—she was a woman and she managed everything about Elena’s life quite well.

"You think so too? Actually, I’ve had the same thought. How about, for starters, we just give it a try?" Simon Carrington suddenly proposed this idea, then Daisy Willow was stunned.

"...You, you must be joking," Daisy Willow shook her head, convinced it was just Simon’s way of joking around. How could he possibly like someone like her?

"Do you think I’m someone who would joke about this kind of thing?" Simon asked seriously. He looked at Daisy Willow, "Daisy Willow, we’re both not young anymore, and we’ve both gone through a failed marriage. I think, right now, our feelings for each other might not be that deep, but after spending some time together, I feel that we are quite compatible. What do you say?"

"You just need a marriage now. I can promise you that as long as you still need me, I’ll take good care of this home and look after your two children. But marriage is a significant matter in life. No matter how many failures we go through, we should treat it seriously. I can assure you that our current employer-employee relationship can continue until you find that woman you truly like and then we can end it. What do you think?"

Daisy Willow instinctively rejected the idea. Although she had been through a failed marriage, she had not lost faith in love. She was fond of Simon Carrington, but his feelings for her were just settling, and this imbalance in their emotional equilibrium would lead to problems in the future.

She thought, while some people have been telling her she and Simon Carrington were a good match, she also believed that there would be people telling him they were a good fit. She felt that marriage shouldn’t be like this.

"What if I told you that the person I like is you?" Simon suddenly looked at her intently, his gaze serious and affectionate. When he had helped her with her divorce lawsuit, he had realized that Daisy Willow was a strong woman. Her calmness, strength, endurance, and outburst in the face of her husband’s infidelity with another woman had deeply shaken him.

Previously, he had been concerned about the troubles she was facing, so he hadn’t taken the initiative to discuss this matter with her.

"..." Daisy Willow was genuinely astonished; she had never expected that Simon would bring up this topic with her so soon.

"What’s the matter? Still don’t believe it, huh?" Simon Carrington acted as if he was deeply hurt, "I knew I needed to give you time. Talking about it now, you’d surely be shocked. No worries, just take your time to think it over. For now, this is just a proposal I’m making."

"..." Daisy Willow didn’t know whether to feel relieved after hearing what Simon had said.

"Actually, the reason I called you up here is that there’s another matter I wanted to discuss with you." Simon Carrington began seriously, "I want to explain my marriage with Irene Houston to you because it also relates to Stella Carrington and Liam Carrington’s origins."

"Stella and Liam’s origins?" Daisy Willow was slightly confused; weren’t they his children?

Realizing that her reaction had been too intense, Daisy Willow apologized, "I’m sorry, I..."

"It’s okay, anyone would be surprised to hear it. Stella isn’t my child; she’s the child of Irene Houston and another man. Irene was pregnant when that man had an accident and died; otherwise, she would’ve married him. Back then, for the child’s sake, and because I too needed a marriage, we got married. There was no love between us. Out of gratitude towards me, she underwent artificial insemination and gave birth to Liam. So, do you think I wouldn’t know whether having feelings for each other in a marriage is important or not?"
