Alice was caught between laughter and tears.
She wasn't foolish, and could clearly tell that William was deliberately misinterpreting Gavin's words.
No!
It wasn't just a misinterpretation of Gavin's words.
It was outright nonsense!
But the way he called her "Dear" made her heart burst with joy.
Usually, she thought of William as the ultimate heartbreaker, a man who was oblivious when it came to romance.
But at that moment, she realized that when it comes to romance, those who are seemingly clueless can often charm a girl effortlessly and unexpectedly.
A duel contract?!
That was no longer the focus.
"Shall we go outside to fight?" Alice looked at Gavin, ready to make him cry.
In the past, Alice might have been averse to fighting.
What kind of image would it project for a girl to be constantly battling various people?
