Lucas frowned. “Why? Is it because you’re afraid the bad blood between our families will affect your relationship with Corinne?”

“Nothing can ever affect my relationship with Corinne. But, if she accepts your family as hers, it’ll make her position awkward in my family. I can protect her when I’m with her, but it’s not like I can bring her along wherever I go.

“Plus, I know her; she won’t like for me to do that too. Given how hard her life was when she was young, I think it’s best if we don’t add any more trouble for her. It’s not wrong to keep the status quo too, you know.”
