The milkmaid’s daughter Angel, who grew up taking care of her family after her father’s death, defied societal expectations when she married an old millionaire. Despite her friends mocking her and predicting she would give birth to ugly children, the wedding night revealed a surprising truth. Angel, who had assumed maturity came with age, discovered it was actually the acceptance of responsibility that defined maturity.
The story begins with Angel, only five years old, taking on the role of caretaker for her family after her father’s tragic death. As she grew up, she dreamed of becoming a fashion model but was mocked by her peers due to her humble background. One day, while selling dairy products on the road, a wealthy man offered to buy everything from her tray, saving her from the harsh conditions.
This encounter led to her marriage with the millionaire, much to the disapproval of her friends. However, the true test of her maturity came when she discovered the millionaire had deceived her, leaving her feeling betrayed and angry. Despite the disappointment, Angel learned an important lesson about the true meaning of maturity.
Angel is hesitant and confused as she has never met him before. The old man explains that he has been buying their cheese and has given them gifts. Angel refuses and runs inside. The old man then calls her again and promises to change their lives, offering her and her family a better life. Angel imagines a life of luxury but is unsure if she can be happy married to a man three times her age.
Despite her reservations, she finds herself laughing and enjoying his company during their conversations. However, when he suddenly stops contacting her, she becomes worried and fears that he was only toying with her feelings. After several days of not hearing from him, she is heartbroken and fears that everything was a lie. The old man finally calls and explains that he was busy, and they resume their conversations.
Eventually, they meet in person and fall deeply in love. When the news of their relationship circulates, Angel’s friends mock her, but she pays no attention. Five months later, they get married in the presence of family and friends. On their wedding night, the old man reveals that he was wearing a wig and is actually only 28 years old, not 60 as she had believed. The young man explains that he pretended to be old to avoid being loved for his looks and money alone. Angel is shocked but happy and kisses him passionately.
