Ellie looked at Erin and said, "Darien has his reasons. He and his girlfriend don't love each other; their families arranged their engagement…"

Keira raised an eyebrow, taking in the scene. She saw Darien laughing and joking with Mollie, who was sweet and coy in front of him, looking nothing like.

What Ellie described.

Keira couldn't help but lower her gaze.

What arranged engagement? In her eyes, Mollie and Darien didn't seem close at all. If they were, why wouldn't she know that he wasn't a rich heir?

Mollie had a calculating glint in her eyes; she clearly came from a gold-digger background.

From their conversation, Keira pieced things together.

After Darien saved Ellie, she fell for him.

As a result, Darien got involved with a wealthy family, but while he was with Ellie, he got caught up with Mollie.

So, he deceived Ellie, claiming Mollie was a childhood friend he couldn't betray.

He set up a responsible persona for himself.

From then on, he could openly hang out with Mollie.

Darien understood Ellie's personality as a pampered rich girl. Because of her privileged upbringing, she had her boundaries. When she found out she was the other woman, he felt guilty and didn't assert his claim in front of her anymore.
