“I’ll only marry the one I like.”

“You… Hawley clutched his heart, nearly gasping for air.

Letitia stood by Elgin from start to finish. She was nothing but a prop who could not speak unless Elgin signaled her to.

She was also clueless about why Elgin wanted to marry her. That was what Letitia thought, and before she knew it, she had blurted out, “Why don’t you marry Raizel?”

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she regretted it.
