To my shock, Vincent shoved Sophia aside and lunged at me.
He tried to embrace me, but I spun around, and he fell flat on his face.
Papa stepped forward, his voice booming with authority.
"Vincent Kane! Since you have a new flame, stop pestering my daughter! The Romano family's Principessa is not so desperate that she has to have you!"
Vincent actually had the audacity to look pitiful.
"Don Romano! Isabella and I are childhood sweethearts. I'm the only one who truly loves her! You have to stand up for me! How can you let her marry someone else?"
Then, his gaze shifted back to me.
"Isabella, I was only trying to protect Sophia, taking pity on her because she's so helpless. But the one I want to spend the rest of my life with is you!"
"You're not a materialistic woman. I'll buy you all the betrothal gifts Alessandro gave you in the future. Please don't marry him, okay?"
