Adrian Desmond glanced at the aloof Johnson Family members. With his years of experience navigating society, he easily discerned their attitude, especially the displeasure his future mother-in-law held for him.
One family was euphemistically rejecting the match, while the other was striving to push it through. Adrian watched coolly, his gaze falling on Sienna Johnson's face across from him. He saw she was also suppressing a smile, seemingly pleased by the unfolding situation.
He quirked his thin lips and said provocatively, "She's not in a hurry, but I am!"
Pauline Briggs responded, "The Johnson Family is a wealthy family with many rules. Being anxious won't help. If you can't wait, then marry another woman. I believe with Sixth Master's generous betrothal gift of one hundred million in gold, many women would be eager to marry him. If you were to propose in the morning and marry by night, those social climbers would willingly agree."
