Caleb Baker listened quietly, a smile tugging at his lips.
He didn't deny it.
"Since your status is esteemed, it implies that you can interfere with the verbal agreement of my unofficial betrothed from the second house, so I'll just say it outright. I want to resolve this betrothal with him. And as for you, I admit that I have feelings for you. If we're together, the Finley family wouldn't suffer any loss. There is no need for the second house to pursue any investigation. After all, it was merely verbal. It wouldn't affect our reputation, it would only cost us some calculated benefits. But if you are of noble origin, they can only step back and accept it."
She didn't hide her intentions and plans.
She laid everything out on the table as a sign of sincerity.
After all.
Caleb Baker had already stated that he had once thought of her in such a way. He was not without feelings.
