Edward just shrugged, sounding totally relaxed. “Once a family’s built its empire, it’s not about conquering anymore–it’s about holding onto what you’ve got. Mr. Holcomb and Mr. Hallman are busy because they’re still hustling, still fighting for their place. Me? I made a rule for myself: work six hours a day, and the rest of the time? That’s all mine.”
I let out a little “oh,” realizing even the rich have their own pecking order.
Seeing I was still a bit lost, Edward brushed a windblown strand from my face and spoke softly, “Sometimes, I think about starting a family again. Maybe it’s just in a man’s nature to want that.”
“Is that so? I’m not really into that idea,” I said, looking down and twisting my fingers together. “Maybe I just see things differently. Right now, I want freedom, and I want to try out different ways of living.”
“Yeah, if there’s ever anything you want or wish for, just tell me. I’ll make it happen for you, anytime,” Edward said, completely straightforward.

Edward’s breath hitched a little, maybe because the last rays of sunset were painting my face, or maybe because he saw something new in my eyes–a different kind of scenery just for him.
He lowered his voice, sounding a bit down. “So… is there someone else you want by your side for all this? Someone else you’re counting on?”
“No,” I answered quietly.
That made Edward smile again. “Then… can I be that person?”
