Timothy seemed to sense a unique atmosphere between Grace and Benjamin, so he said with a hint of
disappointment, “If you’re willing to go back to him, I’ll respect your decision.”
Grace chuckled. “What’s this? Are you suddenly lacking confidence?”
Timothy quickly added, “If my rival is Benjamin, losing to him isn’t something to be too embarrassed
about.
“But Milady, you need to think it through. The old issues are still there. If you two want to get back
together, at least resolve those issues first.”
Upon hearing that, Grace retorted, “Who said I want to get back together with him?”
Timothy’s eyes lit up as he stared at her.
“Milady, do you mean …

for now,”
Timothy exclaimed, “Milady, does that mean I still have a chance?”
Grace raised her eyes, meeting his gaze.
She planned to make things clear with him today.
“Timothy, are you so certain that I’m your ultimate choice in this lifetime?”
Timothy nodded without hesitation. “100% percent. You’re the woman I want. I was blind before. If I had
known that you were the one I had been arranged to marry, I wouldn’t have refused. I just hope there’s
still a chance for us.”
Grace lowered her eyes.
She had never expected Timothy to be so stubborn. She had once thought that his feelings were just a
fleeting fancy, a momentary passion.
Now, she couldn’t give him the response he sought.

Timothy had already figured out what she was getting at. He said, “Milady, are you trying to

“I don’t mean that. It’s just that staying at Amirate doesn’t allow you to utilize your talents to
the fullest.”
Timothy seemed unfazed. “But I don’t mind, as long as I can stay by your side.”
“Timothy! I will sign your resignation letter. Whether you agree or not, this is how it’s going to be.”
The office fell silent all of a sudden.

matter what, my feelings won’t go away just because I’m leaving Amirate.
“If I could, I would genuinely like to bind myself to you through this arranged marriage, even if it means
merely having you as a part of my life. I’m willing to do that, but I don’t want to force you.”
Timothy raised his gaze, seeing her wherever he looked.
“Milady, let’s be friends if we can’t be lovers. After all, we’ve known each other since
childhood.”
Grace looked at him and finally said, “Fine.”
Little did she know that Timothy was taking advantage of the situation.
“All lovers start as friends. Milady, even if I leave Amirate and return to Donegan Enterprises, my heart
will still be with you. Do you understand?”
He added, “I won’t resign so quickly. I’ll take responsibility for the Dunhill project until it’s completed,
then decide whether to leave. But my ultimate goal is to see you happy …”
“Timothy…” Grace wanted to say something more, but Timothy smiled resignedly.
“What? Are you having second thoughts about letting me go now?”
