Mikayla said, "Grand Elder, Dad, I'll step out now."
With that, she exited the chamber.
Lennox was waiting outside and eagerly rushed toward her. "Mikayla, I've missed you so much! Come on, give me a kiss!"
Mikayla turned her head away, barely concealing the disgust in her eyes. "Lennox, we're right at the moment where everything is on the line. I don't think you should be focused on these things right now."
Lennox was deeply disappointed and could not help grumbling, "Mikayla, why is it that every time I try to touch you, you pull away? Are you just pretending to like me?"
Mikayla sneered inwardly, thinking that he was not completely stupid after all. However, she said, "Lennox, you know how I feel about you, don't you? If you don't, then forget it."
Lennox quickly forced a smile and apologized. "Mikayla, I was just joking. Don't take it seriously. Mr. Owens Senior is helping my father boost his strength right now, right? It's truly unbelievable that he has such abilities."
Mikayla replied with a sense of superiority, "This is just the tip of the iceberg. In the future, you'll witness even more amazing things from my family."
Lennox nodded repeatedly. "Mikayla, no matter what, I'm going to make you my wife. Tell me, what do you want me to do? What will it take for you to agree?"
Mikayla smirked. "Tonight, meet me at our usual place. When we meet, I'll tell you what I require. As long as you do it, from then on, I'll be yours."
Lennox's eyes burned with barely concealed passion as he swore, "Even if I have to walk through fire, I'll make it happen for you. Mikayla, I can't wait for you to be my wife!"

On the mountain peak, the feast dragged all the way into the evening. Andrew ate a little and quickly lost interest.
