The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 593

“How could that be?” Claire burst out laughing, then teased, “Just look at Dane, his face, his body… Of course I’m totally into him for his looks.”

Dewitt blinked, then got the joke. Honestly, Dane had the kind of face that made anyone’s heart skip a beat. But Claire wasn’t exactly lacking, either.

“Maybe he thinks the exact same about you,” Dewitt said.

Claire grinned. “Then we’d be a perfect match, wouldn’t we?” She didn’t sound even a little bit embarrassed.

“You know, you have a point,” Dewitt admitted. He couldn’t really argue with her logic.

“Dewitt, you really don’t have to worry about me,” Claire went on. “It’s just an engagement the families set up. I’m supposed to decide when I turn twenty. If I’ve fallen for someone by then, we’ll just pretend the whole thing never happened. If not, we’ll make it official.”

Once she explained, Dewitt felt a lot better. At least she wasn’t getting the short end of the stick.

“That’s good, then. You’re not even in college yet. You never know, you might meet someone even more amazing. Having choices is never a bad thing,” Dewitt said. “You’re so young. An engagement shouldn’t tie you down.”

If by chance they ended up like Melissa, the Churchills would be dealing with a second called-off engagement. That kind of news would make the family look bad.

They didn’t linger on the subject, since just then, the hospital came into view.

At the entrance, Claire headed inside with Roth to see his mom. Dewitt hung back, quietly asking around about Hayley’s situation.
