Though he was slightly irked to hear that, he maintained a tight grip on her shoulder as he replied, “…Sass me all you want, but your parents clearly have a hand in this… I mean, who else would dare to taunt the great Sir Ian?”
…True enough, Zivon made sense… Pursing her lips, all she could do was pitifully stare at the helpless Ian…
Speaking of Ian, he was left wondering how he had set himself up by conducting this event. Damn it! Just as he was wondering how to escape this situation, he suddenly noticed the ever-dazzling Tiffany standing in the crowd…
…Honestly, he wouldn’t mind it if he could be with her, but… Alas, she was already taken. Shaking his head, he gathered his composure before saying, “…Apologies, but I’m not in the mood for love just yet. I’ll be going on a several-month-long business trip soon anyway, so I don’t want to leave a potential wife alone for too long. With all that said, let’s have James and Jacob take my place tonight instead!”
Upon hearing their names, the twins were left speechless. That backstabber…!
Watching as Ian left the stage, Tiffany couldn’t help but purse her lips. Was he never going to marry…? Honestly, had he not proven himself back then, she would’ve surely assumed that he was infertile by now…
Just thinking about that moment made her cheeks go red, and Tiffany quickly drank a glass of cold water to snap out of it before returning into the crowd to look around for potential love candidates… At the end of the day, she was a commoner unfit to be Ian’s wife, and she needed to marry someday anyway, so she may as well try looking around first…
Unbeknownst to her, Ian had been keeping an eye on her from the second floor, and he couldn’t help but frown. Didn’t she already have a boyfriend? What was she even doing here mingling around?
His train of thought was cut short when he heard Xavia say, “You’re really adamant about not marrying, huh?”
