The Established Siblings Of The Pack

Chapter 100

The Foxes are throwing a family banquet tomorrow, and he wants me to make it look like I’m doing well in front of my uncles, so… I have to do everything I must to change Shane’s mind, or at least bring home a man who is much better than him.”She took a deep breath and stared at Kingsley with glistening eyes, then went on to say, “So I told him that I already found myself a boyfriend, and that he’s far more excellent than Shane could ever hope to be!”Upon hearing this, Kingsley froze, and he suddenly understood what kind of favor she was asking of him. “You… want me to pretend to be your boyfriend?”Now that he had put it into words, she blushed and explained hurriedly, “It’ll only be for show, and it’s just until my parents shut up about it.”“I…” He let out a derisive laugh as he asked, “Are you sure I’m the guy for the job?

He cleared his throat awkwardly and reminded himself that this was no time for him to be playing footsie with a girl, even if the girl was a temptress like Cecilia. He had his parents’ murder to avenge, and he couldn’t afford to be distracted while he had a real chip on his shoulder.Perhaps there might come a day when he had finally avenged his parents, and only then would he be able to settle down with a nice girl and start a family with her.
