Sergei had several times asked Winters indirectly if he had any engagement.
Since the Sergei family had no daughters, who else could he be asking for?
Winters insisted that he was already engaged, and his fiancée was in Sea Blue.
But Sergei muttered, "We are so far from Sea Blue, even if there's an engagement, it might not count."
"Being poor is so painful!"
During the nights of restless tossing and turning, Winters Montagne lamented in this way.
But it was not possible for him to borrow money from the Mitchell family. On the contrary, the more generous the Mitchells were to Winters, the less he dared to incur their favors.
In fact, Winters was already considering moving out from the Mitchell's when the time was right.
All things considered, besides three months' salary, the only valuable Winters currently had left was... Anna's pendant box.
It was pure gold.
