Throughout his life, people had hung out with him for the wrong reasons, taking advantage of his wealth. Especially in relationships, he attracted women who were only interested in his money. When his father passed away, things got even worse. Women knew he would inherit a substantial amount of money, and they were desperately trying to marry him. David didn’t know their true intentions and began to struggle with himself and his feelings. He became increasingly depressed, avoiding social events and dating altogether.
That’s when his mother came up with a plan to hide their family’s wealth from David’s future girlfriends. When David met Emma, he pretended to be a foster child to test her intentions. Although it was extremely hard for him to lie to her, he knew this was necessary.
