It came as a shock to him that Song Yue had not only agreed to this marriage beforehand but she didn't even tell him about it.
It's tough for Mark to believe it as his fiancée isn't the type to scheme behind his back. He liked her because of her honest and kind nature.
Mark felt betrayed.
He didn't want to stay at the place any longer and wanted to meet her.
Not commenting on Shen Ling's earlier statement, he spoke to her father, "King Shen, please excuse me for a minute. We'll talk again on this, after a while."
In response, the king said, "Look Lu Zhen, I really respect you. So, I'm explaining all this to you. My daughter is already 26 years old. It saddens me to send her away when we just reunited but the world isn't that forgiving for the lady, especially if she is of the royal family. The higher the age of an unmarried woman, the more people think that she has some kind of defect. That is why I want to get her married soon.
