It caught Karl slightly off guard —perhaps because he had never expected Adelyn to agree so promptly.
However, Adelyn herself wasn't surprised at all. Maybe because she hadn't thought deeply at all.
At that moment, she was only thinking about putting an end to this situation. And if agreeing to something this simple could give her that chance, she would accept it without hesitation.
"Didn't you say that only if I agreed to your condition would you allow me to bet on your car?" she asked, lifting her brows at him slightly.
Karl noticed the ease in her tone and immediately frowned.
"I did —but how could you agree just like that? For a car, you're willing to give up my brother? How could you? Do you even know how precious my brother is? He alone can —"
Adelyn placed a hand lightly over his shoulder and gave it a gentle pat.
"Don't tell me you suddenly want to call me sister-in-law."
