Truly, it was exactly the same as in the last life.
Even the tear drop on her eyelash that was about to fall was the same.
In the last life, it was precisely this pitiful look of hers that bewitched Marcus.
Having been accustomed to marriages of convenience in big families since childhood, I never hoped for love.
Her appearance made my heart sour, but not enough to lose my senses.
Marcus wanted to break off the engagement, but I didn’t cry or make a fuss, I just tried to give him him some advice for the sake of our families‘ many years of friendship:
“Lily Blake is just an orphan, and has no work experience. Even if you…”
“But for marriage, Grandpa Grant will not agree, and it will only bring her trouble.”
“Marcus, you might as well keep her outside for now, and in the future…”
I spoke cryptically:
“In the future, once you become the heir, wouldn’t you have the final say?”
Just these few words, removed her troubles, yet brought a disaster upon myself.
