Jane was taken aback as Tatsumi wholeheartedly embraced this truth. His sincerity was evident in the way he looked at her while speaking those words. He even smiled at her faintly.

'Is he a masochist?' She thought to herself.
"I don't mind it at all," Tatsumi added, his cheerfulness returning as if he hadn't faced rejection earlier.
Jane let out a soft giggle and said, "Thank you. I appreciate that. It will be a great help to prevent my father from doing something to separate me from Nathan. At least, he will think that I'm an obedient daughter."
