“You don’t?”
Old Master Hunt frowned; he had not expected this.
“Why isn’t she agreeing to it?”
Many people were taken aback as well. It was clear that Old Master Hunt was being kind, and he wanted a cause to celebrate for—that was why he had offered to organize the wedding for Fane and Helena. It was a point of pride to have an eminent person such as Old Master Hunt giving his blessings.
Yet Third Young Mistress Cabello was disagreeing.
“Sister!”
Venus jumped in shock and immediately tugged on Daniella’s sleeve. She shot her younger sister a look. Everything would go down the drain if the girl told everyone that Fane was her boyfriend.
Daniella had been overtaken by emotion just now. She had spoken without thinking.
With Venus’ reminder, she finally understood the gravity of the situation. She rolled her eyes instead. “My sister just met him twice or thrice, and they fell in love at first sight,” she said. “I don’t think that warrants a wedding just yet.”
Venus heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s right. No need to rush.” She smiled as she played along. “We’ll know if they’re suitable to be a married couple sooner or later. What if they find out that they have conflicting personalities?”
Quite a few youths heard this and began casting sympathetic or disdainful looks at Fane.
“Hah. Interesting, interesting!”
Second Young Master Hunt, who was staring at Helena with a grin on his face, finally spoke up.
He took a few steps forward. “So you and Fane only met twice or thrice? It’s fine if you get into a relationship with him after meeting just a few times, but giving your first time to him? Aren’t you being too careless?”
