Love's Perfect Match

“You didn’t have to be so harsh; you know? Look at him walking away with resentment.” Arthur smirked.

“Don’t bother yourself with that. Either way, I’ve already said yes. You better treat my mother soon.” Elspeth lowered her head and took a deep breath as a sliver of sadness laced her empty eyes.

Arthur thought he would be happy after hearing her words, but instead, he actually felt a little upset, and he asked with mixed emotions, “So you’ve only agreed to marry me to save your mother, right?”

“Don’t you think this is a stupid question?”

Pfft. Do you expect me to fall in love with you when you treated me with that kind of attitude and even threatened me with it later?!

It was a long-foreseen answer. The last sliver of hope in Arthur’s eyes faded away, and he said, “Alright, got it. I will treat your mother immediately right after our engagement.”

“She only has one month left!” Elspeth turned anxious. She could agree with all of Arthur’s conditions, even severing ties with Callum, just to treat her mother as soon as possible. However, Arthur kept delaying it again and again.

“When do you propose our engagement be held then?” Arthur felt his heart growing stuffier by the second when he saw her staring at him with frosty eyes.

“Three days. That’s enough for the necessary preparations.”

Since they would be engaged, she had to give Arthur the proper respect as well.

After all, Arthur wasn’t only representing himself but the Blue Family.

Soon, the whole town heard about Arthur’s engagement with a random woman. On the day of the engagement, Arthur suddenly barged in when Elspeth was doing her makeup in her room.
