The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

Eltham met Brittany's puzzled gaze with a light chuckle.

In fact, he had already met Brittany a year ago.

Not only that, but he was quite taken with her.

Her background, looks, and abilities were all top-notch, so when the Queen proposed the marriage, he agreed without hesitation.

"Ms. Lynette, I know this is a lot to take in at once. We could get to know each other better."

But Brittany had no interest in getting to know Eltham.

She had hoped Eltham would reject her, but to her disappointment, he was in favor of the marriage.

She picked up her tea and took a sip: "The truth is, I already have someone I like. I hope you can understand and let me go."

"Ms. Lynette, I regret that I didn't come into your life earlier, to be that person you liked," Eltham said, already aware of Brittany's reluctance towards the marriage, which was common knowledge.

"This marriage isn't just about our two families, but also a royal decree. You must understand, Ms. Lynette, not even your father can change this arrangement. How could I convince my mother to change her mind?" Eltham made it clear he wasn't going to cooperate, leaving Brittany feeling hopeless.
