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.

I can’t get mad—that’ll make me really reactive, and that’s not going to help me out of this situation. “I believe you understand that you can’t force someone to develop feelings for you, Mr. Knight.” Alice decided to use a different approach.

He doesn’t even look that young—he’s probably in his late twenties or early thirties, right? How am I supposed to believe that he has never been in
