I got straight to the point and asked, "How's everything going recently?"
A flush emerged on her face. She answered, "He... he might not be as bad as I thought."
"Seriously?"
"He said he likes me because I don't treat him as the president. I let him remember the warmth of home."
With fingers intertwined, she continued, "He's perfect. I admire him a lot. I'm just an ordinary woman who knows nothing. It's like a dream for me to marry him!"
She turned to me, adding, "It's my blessing to marry him. Edmond Churchill... loves money more than anything else. He broke up with me first. I love Mr. Cotton now."
Your blessing? No, it was your bad luck! Such a marriage with no legal benefits...
I decided to tell her the truth. "Hale is not as good as you think."
"He's nice! He hasn't even... touched me. He said he would do that only when I said yes."
She didn't trust me at all. I told her everything, but she left me only one sentence°™
