Bab 464: do not open

"Esme, my brother loves her but he obliges to our parents too much. If they have an adverse objection, I don't know what he will do. It's not just our parents that he has to fight against but the whole Westburry family."

"What about you and Liam?"

"I am over that unrequited love."

"That's good. Liam is a good man. But is too scarred by his old love to give himself to anyone. I don't want you to a rebound. Or someone he is unsure about. You deserved to be loved beautifully."

After his conversation with Esmeralda, she went to Ronan. 

"You didn't give my best friend a hard time, did you?"

"She snitched on me."

"Shouldn't she?"

Ronan didn't look at her. 

"What are you doing, Ronan?"

"That woman is with Ethan for money."

"So what?"

"What do you mean?" "He is my brother and she is a gold digger."
