Meanwhile, within Jemima’s boudoir, they began preparing Jared’s sleeping area.

“Jared, you should leave as soon as possible tomorrow,” Jemima expressed concerns. “Cadmus is petty cunning, so he’ll definitely seek revenge on you.”

Jared simply laughed. “No rush. I’m actually curious to see what tricks can pull off.”

“But…”

“Don’t worry,” Jared interrupted her, “After tomorrow, no one from the Murray family will force you to marry again.”

Jemima paused, feeling puzzled. For some reason, saw a hint of chilling coldness in Jared’s eyes that made heart flutter.

“Even if I were to marry, I wouldn’t give my whole self to that man bestowed by fate. Do you understand?” Jemima gazed at Jared with deep affection.
