I once heard somewhere that issues aren’t issues when they can be resolved with money. Things get easy if they can be settled with money.

“How much do you want?” Ethan was surprised for a moment. After some hesitation, he allowed Alice to name her price. Alice felt like jumping with joy. I’m glad that we can talk about this. Maybe I acted a little too pitiful earlier—it seems like I somehow managed to melt Mr. Knight’s heart of ice. But… He’s asking me how much I want, huh? How much? I’m not selling Caroline, and I don’t actually need money. I don’t want the Knight Family to pay me because of Caroline. But if I don’t take the money, does that mean that I’ll have to get married to Mr. Knight?

There isn’t really an issue if it’s an issue that can be fixed with money. This is way better than me getting married to him.

However, it wasn’t clear if he was surprised or if he was thinking about something else—he simply curled his lips into a smirk. “Do you have an issue with both taking the money and getting married to me?” Alice froze. There’s no conflict between those two things, but… but… I already agreed to take the money. Why do I still have to give myself

Even if Ethan was actually the man from seven years ago, Alice only spent that one night with him. It seems like he still doesn’t know that I was the woman from that night. So, we’re practically strangers to one another. Alice stared at Ethan

she was speechless for a while. Love is something that even a kid would understand. How can he tell me that he doesn’t understand what love is? How does he even say that without feeling embarrassed of himself? He doesn’t even look that young—he’s probably in his late twenties or

Bradley felt like he was the only one who understood the entire situation at that moment, so he felt like it was his duty to tell Ethan
