Evan added, “I don't want to create unnecessary competition for you. Even if they won't hurt you, they'll still be jealous and cling to you, and that would bother me. Abby, I belong to you alone-now and forever. Don't push me toward anyone else."

Abby was speechless. She helped Evan into the house and sat him down on the sofa.

"I should find you a few rivals," she said. "Just so you realize I don't have to be with you. If I wanted to get married, I could do it anytime."

Evan immediately grabbed her hand and looked at her with deep affection. "Abby, I love you. I always will. Even if you bring in competition, I won't be afraid. Time reveals a person's heart, and we're meant to be together."

Abby pulled her hand back but couldn't resist pinching his cheek. "You're so shameless."

Evan grinned. "My eldest brother taught us that if you want to win a wife, you have to be thickskinned and shameless to the extreme." Zachary: ...Did I really say that?

Abby: "Oh, sure. Blame your eldest brother. He and Sister Serenity got married in a flash and went straight to the marriage certificate. He didn't even have to chase her."

Evan chuckled. "But my brother and sister-in-law had their fair share of conflicts. She even proposed a divorce, which scared him so much he nearly lost his mind. He put her under house arrest just to keep her from leaving. My brother had to be utterly shameless to win her back. Isn't that also chasing a wife?"
