A snort of laughter cut through the air, dripping with sarcasm. “Who would’ve thought Alexei was such a romantic?”

The voice belonged to Cade Turner, the son of Gabriel and the older brother of Sasha. He was the second in his generation.

He was the second oldest in his generation.

Before Alexei could say anything, Natasha quietly squeezed his hand and stepped forward again.

Natasha teased with a sly grin, “You’ve really got a sharp eye, Cade. Alexei is definitely devoted and charming.

“If you’d figured that out sooner, you might already be cradling a baby with Miss Morrison by now. After all, being a good man is the best character.”

Cade’s father, Gabriel, was pretty unremarkable. He just scraped by, keeping his head down while his siblings fought tooth and nail for power.

His mother, Cheryl Turner, didn’t come from any notable background. she was a classic gold digger who married into money thanks to her looks.

With parents like that, Cade never got much support. He was pretty capable, but he was up against some seriously tough competition among his peers within the Turner family.

On top of that, Alexei was in a league of his own. So all Cade could do was run a few small- time companies that never really took off.

Because of his situation, he always felt frustrated, convinced that luck was never on his side.

A couple of years back, he actually managed to trick the wealthy and hopelessly romantic Myrtle Morrison into being with him.

It was the best match he could ever hope for, given her powerful family background.

But he got carried away and started fooling around, only to get caught by Myrtle in bed with

another woman.

Myrtle was a hopeless romantic, but she wasn’t stupid. Cade was just an unremarkable member of the Turner family, so it wasn’t like she was marrying up.

If he couldn’t keep it together before marriage, she felt that there was nothing she could

After a good cry, Myrtle dumped him.

Not long after, her parents introduced her to another man. He was not from a prominent family, but he was a genuinely good guy with a kind heart.

They got married first and fell in love later, living a sweet and happy life together.

Meanwhile, after years of chasing after Myrtle, Cade ended up empty–handed and became the butt of everyone’s jokes.
