The Ex and Her Riches

Although she was speaking to Jerome, she was actually rejecting Kieran.

The look on Kieran’s face changed.

Jerome, who was observant of others’ reactions, immediately jumped to Kieran’s aide.

“Inez, an engagement isn’t the same as a marriage.

You can still date after getting engaged and only get registered after both of you are willing to.

It won’t affect anything.

” “But I don’t want to date.

Too many unhappy things happened over the past years.

I’m really in no mood to date.

All I want to do is to focus on my work and be prepared to take over Mossey Corporation.

” With that, she turned around and left the living room without looking back.

The sound of a door slamming came from upstairs.

Once again, silence filled the living room.

Madelyn and Jerome exchanged a look before turning their gazes toward Kieran.

Kieran lowered his gaze.

He seemed to be thinking about something, but no one could figure out his emotions.

Madelyn asked carefully, “Do you like Inez, Mr. Kieran?” “Yes,” replied Kieran gently, “but I have hurt her with my previous action.

I understand if she’s unwilling to accept me.

” Madelyn said, “We’ve been spoiling Inez ever since she was a child.

She has a very stubborn personality.

If you sincerely like her and wish to be together with her, I can help you convince her.

” Upon deliberation, Kieran thought that it was too embarrassing and troublesome.

“It’s fine.

This is between me and Inez.

If you persuade her, I’m afraid she’ll resent me even more.

I can wait if she’s unwilling to go ahead with the engagement.

She waited a year for me in the past.

I can wait another year for her this time.

” Madelyn and Jerome were glad to hear that.
