Kayla took a breath before looking at Marshall. “Mr. Moore, your question is quite intrusive.”
“Sorry,” He apologized in a warm and clear voice. "But I can't ask you for a favor if you have a boyfriend.
Kayla was puzzled, "How so?”
“I'm afraid my mom might catch on." This did not clear things up for Kayla. "Can you be more explicit?”
Marshall sighed. "My family is pressuring me to get married. My mom keeps introducing potential matches to me all
the time. I can't avoid it. I thought of finding someone to deal with the issue temporarily. If she sees me with
someone, she might ease up on the pressure.”
Kayla blinked in disbelief. After a while, she said, "You want me to assist you in fending off blind dates?”
Marshall looked at her and asked, "Is that okay?"

make a move, yet Marshall has done nothing to pursue her.’
After some contemplation, Kayla thought of the message she saw in her group chat this morning about Stella
moving back to Keegan's place to assist in recovering his memory.
‘Keegan will definitely fall for Stella again. Love doesn't simply vanish because of amnesia, especially if they're now
living under the same roof. But is this why Marshall gave up on courting Stella?’
Kayla had heard from Mark that the Moore family was strict. She wondered if the Moores’ discerning nature
regarding daughters-in-law affected Marshall's relationship status. ‘Did they stop Marshall from pursuing Stella
because she was a divorcee?’
It was then that Kayla realized that her dad was still quite reasonable. "As long as you like him, I'm willing to accept
him into the family no matter the circumstances."
‘Does he not think I can find someone good?’ Kayla sighed. She looked at Marshall, "How do you want me to help?
Do you want me to pretend to be your girlfriend or something?”
Marshall shook his head. "We just have to be in touch and occasionally have a meal together."
Kayla realized that Marshall wanted to create an illusion for his family that they might be a potential match. He
wanted them to have an undefined romantic connection.
After a moment of thought, she said, “Mr. Moore, I want to get married someday. Being in an undefined relationship
with you would harm my reputation. What do I do if my potential suitors reject me because of this?”
Marshall froze and lowered his eyes, "Sorry. I didn't consider that.”
"You really didn't,” Kayla said in disdain. "If you want to be in an undefined relationship with me, you should be the
one who takes initiative.”

Marshall did not comprehend what she meant. Kayla explained slowly, "In other words, you're the one who asked
me out today. Does that make it clear?”
Marshall then understood that Kayla didn't want to be known as the person who pursued him. He must be the one
who courted her.
Thinking about it, he nodded, "Yes. I'm the one who asked you out.” After a while, he asked, "So, Ms. Wilson, what
do you want in return?"
Evidently, Marshall saw this as a transaction. Kayla didn't put much thought into it. There are plenty of men in the
world, and she wouldn't be interested in a man who was in love with another woman. However, she was still a little
hurt by his question.
“Assisting my friend in winning this lawsuit means a lot. I assure you, I'll repay the favor by helping you.”
Marshall nodded and said, "You've got a strong character, Ms. Wilson."
Kayla noticed how formal he was being and suddenly wanted to tease him.
