Due to my family circumstances, I wasn’t very good at getting along with my elders.
Kaleb noticed it and took the initiative to propose that we would not live with his elders after marriage.
The two of us would have our own household.
So, he bought an apartment near the pharmaceutical laboratory where I worked.
The apartment occupied over two thousand square feet, and it was all decorated in the style I liked.
I liked quietness and paid extra attention to my privacy.
Thus, Kaleb never hired a housekeeper.
