Chapter 932: How Far Are You Willing to Go for My Daughter

Tina froze, startled.

Was Uncle so eager to marry her?

Ruud was adamant. "Absolutely not! Marriage is a serious matter. You say two months is enough, but how do I know this isn't just a trick to lure my daughter away?"

Jared stayed silent, his expression unreadable.

Tina's response was calm and collected. "I don't care about the timing. As long as I can be with Uncle, that's enough."

Ruud nearly exploded with frustration.
