Inside Senja's room.
Senja sat timidly on the chair while Elder Dam stood imposingly in front staring down at her.
"Senja, do you know what you have done?" Elder Dam asked her coldly.
"Grandfather, I didn't do anything…" Senja explained meekly. She'd really done nothing except have a conversation with him.
"Grandfather had asked you many times in the past if you had feelings for Tianyao, but every time you denied!" Elder Dam cupped Senja's face and urged her to look at him as his voice turned soft when he continued. "If you really like him, grandfather would do anything to make him marry you instead of Rindy."
**Eh?** Senja looked back at Elder Dam with rapidly blinking eyes. **What did this old man just say?!**
"I have known from the beginning that Xiao Tianyao doesn't have any feelings for Rindy otherwise he wouldn't have dragged their engagement for so long. They would have been married by now if Xiao Tianyao was willing to marry her."
