Chapter 13

"Declan cut the small talk. Why didn't you tell me you were engaged? Fuck, I didn't even know you were seeing someone." Aideen said on the call and sounded a bit frustrated.

"I… have been seeing her for a few months. We met when I visited Korea to finalise that offer; remember I still offered for you to join me, but you refused?"

"I didn't refuse. I had to work."

"I don't know why you waste your time teaching. You could be here running the company with me in Cape Town."

"You are changing the topic, Decie. I still want to know why you didn't tell your only sister that you were proposing! If I hadn't read the headlines, I wouldn't have even known." Aideen huffed, and he imaged she was pouting right now. Something she always did when upset.

"Sienna is… different. She didn't come from a wealthy family, and I didn't want anyone to impact how I feel about marrying her. I wanted us to get to know one another without influence from the outside world."
