Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1027

Jacob noticed that Travis had gotten off-track and quickly intervened.

"Mr. Mullen, we can't use Prince Rafael as an example. Sure, men like that exist, but that's not what we're discussing right now."

Travis put on a look of deep sympathy, as if he were offering sage advice, and continued, "Vivi says she doesn't want to marry, and I'm all for it. If she doesn't marry, she won't get hurt. Young love is intense, but after time passes, it just becomes gross.

"It's like iron with a coating of gold-when that coating falls off, the iron rusts and decays. Even with genuine feelings, it turns out like that. And then you have someone like Yuvan, who's all scheming and never tasted the sweetness of love. He's like an old thief. The minute a woman like Vivi steps into his life-someone who can heal his broken heart and also help him out-he becomes like a dog in heat and shows all his ugly sides."

Jacob was utterly lost. After a long pause, he asked, "Is that something your mentor said?"

If one hadn't been through so much, how could one possibly speak such words of weariness and wisdom? Travis definitely couldn't have said something like that.

"Yeah, my mentor has said a lot of things like that. Want to hear more?" Travis grinned.

"No thanks," everyone responded in unison, more than a little disgusted by the idea.
