Chương 200: Love’s Arrival-III

Hearing Edward's words, Lady Daphne's cheeks reddened in a blush, "A scandal? That is one thing that I don't like either or wish to impose to you," she then whispered in a smaller voice, "But I don't mind sharing one with you," the lady smiled in a way that was meek and lovable but her charm didn't faze Edward as he watched her back without emotion.

Edward moved forward, his face was close to having Daphne's face reddened further, "However I do not want to have one. With you." He made his point across curtly and Daphne was taken aback by his words. 

Lady Daphne looked pained by the blunt rejection but still tried to pull a smile. "I come here because of my father, I don't mind if you chase me out, but as your future fiancée I would encourage you to spend ten minutes with me."

This had Edward to roll his eye and sighed, "The engagement was forced by my father. I know you also get how much I do not agree with this engagement, do you?"
