Loraine knew that two years was very long, but she needed to maintain her "relationship" for at least two years.
After two years, the male lead would be officially in a relationship with the female protagonist so she would have successfully avoided all the blame he was supposed to throw at her.
Moreover, Loraine also wanted to avoid any marriage proposals.
After all, she was the sole heir of Rand Antares, and now that he went missing, people had become too shameless. They wanted to become his son-in-laws even without him so that they could get a share of the treasure that they thought he had left behind forever.
Loraine was rather annoyed that after the banquet last time, people had begun giving her marriage proposal.
Thus, having Mr. Alistair as a fake boyfriend was very useful in driving any proposals.
But would Mr. Alistair agree?
