The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 1042:

Memories of their tense dinner encounter last time flashed through Darwin’s mind, but he forced a polite smile and accepted the handshake anyway.

Before Darwin could make small talk, Ethan got straight to the point. “I should let you know, Mr. Atkinson, Brenna and I have reconciled. We’re together now, so I’d appreciate it if you stopped pursuing her.”

Darwin met Ethan’s eyes, refusing to give up. “Mr. Mitchell, as long as Brenna isn’t married, I have the right to pursue her. I mean, who wouldn’t admire someone like her?”

He wasn’t going to give up easily.

In fact, he quietly believed he was the better match for Brenna, far more suited to her than Ethan could ever be.

Gracie walked over, and Waldo trailed behind, his eyes glued to her from behind. No matter where she went, he stuck close, making her feel increasingly uncomfortable.

“Ethan, Mr. Atkinson does have a point. Since Miss Harper isn’t married yet, anyone can pursue her,” Gracie’s words carried a message of her own, reminding Ethan that she had every right to pursue him until he was married.
