“Really? All you want is to have a meal with me?” she asked. How is that possible? I know him well.

Nicholas nodded profusely. “Don’t worry, for I’m telling the truth. All I want is to have a meal with you. What else can I do?” Nicholas asked patiently.

“Ha!” Sophie let out an icy snort.

Is he joking? Does he think I’m gullible enough to fall for his tricks? He went to great lengths to cause a ruckus just to capture me, right?

“Nicholas, let me make myself clear—I’m not your toy, and I don’t like you. No matter what you do, I won’t return to you,” she announced.

Some things just couldn’t be forced.

The smile on Nicholas’ lips disappeared slowly.

How could she be this cruel?

“Sophie, I can offer you anything you want. In the past, I told you I couldn’t marry you, but things are different now. If you wish, I can marry you right away,” he promised.

I can do anything as long as she is willing to come back to me.

Sophie furrowed her brows.

“Are you nuts? Why would I marry you? I’m not crazy,” she retorted.

Hurt rose in Nicholas’ heart. How could she say that? Does marrying me make her a fool?

“Isn’t having a grand wedding what women want? Can Tristan give you that? Will the Lombard family agree to let you marry him?” he demanded.

Sophie stared at him as if he was a lunatic.

“I’m willing to be with him. It doesn’t matter if we don’t hold a grand wedding as long as I love him,” she responded. Nothing was more important than herself. Thus, she valued her happiness more than anything else.
