"Huh?" Lilia was so shocked at Jean's words that she forgot her sadness, "Does that mean… you've liked me for a long time, so you deliberately offered a marriage in return of financial assistance?"
Jean only smiled faintly, but that was enough of an answer for Lilia.
The woman frowned and touched her face, "... Am I really that attractive?" She muttered confused.
Lilia was sure that she had a pretty appearance, but that didn't mean that she could make other people fall for her that easily. In fact, Lilia had only dated William before marrying Jean, so she felt that she wasn't that attractive to be anyone's partner.
If Lilia had known of William and Jean's difficulty in keeping other men off her, she probably wouldn't have looked down on herself so low. Even after Lilia married Jean, that man still came across people who were trying to get close to Lilia.
