370 ANSWER TO THE PROPOSAL

"Accept me for who I am… can a married woman think of that?" Catherine muttered.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Veronica looked at her.

Catherine mentioned, "You know, after marriage, the in-laws don't let the girls do jobs outside. They want her to be a full-time housewife."

Veronica couldn't deny her friend's worry. "Well… I didn't face it because Arthur doesn't have any family other than me. As for you, you have to ask them what they want. Some women just sacrifice everything for the men they love. 

"But my question is… for what cost? If you throw away the career you worked so hard for and then sacrifice all your wishes for the sake of your husband and children, what will you get in return?

"It will be great if you can get their devotion and love for you but most women are treated worthless. That's the problem. If that's what happens, it would be better not to sacrifice anything at all."
