At that time, there was a group of officers, not in uniform, yet they stood out on the street, each one exceptionally handsome.
And Cassandra Henderson was shopping with some female friends. In the crowd, she wasn't the most beautiful girl, yet Wilkes noticed her at a glance and fell in love with her!
Cassandra was in America for only two weeks. During these two weeks, Wilkes was everywhere, like air, pursuing her madly.
When they met for the second time, he proposed to her in public. Cassandra couldn't describe her feelings at that moment, only finding it absurd. She didn't even know the man's name.
Later, every day Wilkes appeared at the entrance of her hotel, and a group of friends was enviously resentful, advising her to accept. After all, such a wealthy and handsome man was rare to come by; once the opportunity was missed, she might not find such a good man again.
