Kapitel 869: Disappointment

"What is your opinion on me forcing someone into marriage?"

Dora, Kael, Lily, and Cai all looked up at Rafe as if he had just sprouted another head. The mere mention of 'forcing' was enough to send a chill through the room. The thing about force, after all, was that it never carried positive connotations, no matter the context. Unless, perhaps, someone was forcing out toxic waste...

But marriage and force? Those two ideas did not belong in the same breath.

Kael, predictably, was the first to shatter the stunned silence as he stared at his brother with a look, "Are you talking about something similar to your previous situation? A Contract marriage? Because, let's be honest, you barely dodged a bullet last time..."

Rafe sighed, rubbing a hand across the back of his neck. "Something similar, yes, but also different. This girl... she's trustworthy. I know she is."
