Chapitre 114: Provocation to Empowerment

Winter can tell how tense and nervous Lacey is throughout the whole conversation.

She must be uncomfortable enough to leave, but because Wynonna Snow is that rare of a catch, she chooses to stay there and bear it.

"Oh, right. Putting your inheritance aside, I've also caught wind that you're going to marry someone as soon as you finished university. How old are you, Ms. Park?" Winter asked with an easygoing, carefree tone.

"I'm twenty two years old, M-Ma'am," Lacey answered a little hesitantly.

"And your fiance? How old is he?" 

"He's around forty, I think."

"Goodness, that's quite a huge gap! It's like the age difference between a father and a daughter!"
