"Marriage?" Vivian asked, his nose wrinkling slightly.
"Yes," Charlotte nodded.
"Our engagement should have happened a long time ago, but many things got in the way. Now there is nothing stopping us. So… how about we get married?"
She spoke calmly, but there was a quiet firmness in her voice.
Three years ago, everything had been prepared.
Yet because of the war, the academy, and countless other problems, their engagement never took place.
Charlotte did not want to delay it anymore.
She wanted to marry him and settle things once and for all.
Vivian went silent.
"Hm…" he let out a low sound as he leaned back, his thoughts slowly turning.
He did not dislike the idea of marriage.
In fact, he had already accepted, deep in his heart, that Charlotte would be the one beside him for life.
That part was never in doubt.
But there were still many things weighing on him.
The estate needed him.
