Chapter 599
Louis scoffed. “So you’ve asked me out just to teach me a lesson on behalf of your best friend?”
Maisie stopped beating around the bush and asked,” Louis, do you really want to marry Ryleigh?” Louis frowned slightly, but his slender and beautiful slanted eyes did not give off any emotion as they looked extremely calm.
Maisie picked up her cup. “I know that both the Hills and Lucases are a great match for each other, and both families are related
through previous marriages. That’s the reason the marriage between the two of you is what the elders of both families want to see. But you can’t sacrifice your own happiness because of marriage. Ryleigh is my best friend, and you’re my cousin. You guys are going to be a pain in my *ss whenever you have an argument in the future.”
The waiter brought Louis his coffee and put it in front of him.
Louis held the cup and looked out the window. “We won’t have any arguments in the future.”
Maisie was puzzled.

He took a sip of the hot coffee and looked away from the window. “My mother will force me to marry other women that I’m unfamiliar with even if I don’t marry Ryleigh. Compared to those women, I’m relatively
close with Ryleigh, so I won’t go against this marriage.” “So, do you just plan to settle with this relationship?” Maisie rested her chin on her hand. “A man might be able to settle with a marriage relationship because it’s not a huge issue for him to marry a woman that he doesn’t like. At the end of the day, he can choose to leave her at home all the time.”
Louis remained silent momentarily, put down the cup, and smiled. “How can you be so sure that I’m settling with this relationship?”
Maisie was stunned for a split second and did not speak after that. I’m only an outsider, not someone who’s been immersed in this relationship since day one. As such, I don’t know what has been on his mind all this while.
‘Looking at this matter from the perspective of Ryleigh’s best friend, I really don’t want to see Ryleigh give up on her happiness for the rest of her life.
‘However, if I were to look at this from Louis’ point of view, he’s always wanted to marry someone with whom he can spend the rest of his life. If he only wanted to find a random woman who is willing to marry him, he would have listened to his mother’s arrangement and married one of those strange women, right?
‘Is it possible that I’m the only person in this world who can make a match out of Ryleigh and Louis!?’
Naturally, Ryleigh’s first reaction was to spit out the sip of coffee she had just drunk when Maisie mentioned the matter. “Zee, has he bribed you!?”
Maisie shrugged. “I don’t think my cousin is joking.”
Ryleigh put down the cup heavily and said in a sullen voice, “Please keep me out of this! Plenty of ladies in Bassburgh had taken a fancy to him before this, yet he didn’t even give any one of them a chance. Why would he agree to marry me?”
“Yeah.” Maisie recalled what he had said. “I’m very curious too. Anyway, both of you are only getting engaged for now. There’s still time after this for you to try to get along after the engagement. So, if you were to find out that you’re definitely not made for each other after the engagement, you could still choose to bid him goodbye after that.”
Ryleigh looked at her in astonishment. “Are you… Are you trying to match me with him?”
Maisie gave off a wide grin. “Ryleigh, it’s time for you to find yourself a boyfriend. Since an opportunity has been presented to you, why not take it? How would you know if he’s the right man or not before you gave it a try?”
Ryleigh smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject. “If you have the time to worry about me now, you might as well worry about your husband first.”
