Chapter 1499:

Elyse’s brow furrowed, her voice laced with bewilderment. “What’s gotten into you? You’re not sticking to the plan. Weren’t you just using me as a front? Didn’t I tell you to hurry up and persuade our families to drop the idea of an arranged marriage? So why are you dragging your feet?”

Victor rubbed his chin thoughtfully, his words steady and deliberate. “Well, after mulling it over at home, I realized there’s no downside to marrying you. Actually, there’s plenty of upside. And honestly? I don’t hate being with you. Quite the opposite—I think you’re great, and if we tied the knot, it wouldn’t be a bad thing.”

Elyse’s response came quick and sharp. “No, it would be a disaster. Jayden and I are working things out. We’re finally on the same page again, better than ever, really. There’s a real chance we’ll remarry.” She paused, as if weighing her words, then added with conviction, “I can’t keep this engagement going. Jayden and I are rebuilding something solid, and I’m not about to jeopardize that for anything else.”
