Upon hearing Slevin Russell say this, Sir Hughes lowered his head and coughed twice.
Slevin's words sounded nice, but there was another meaning hidden within them: Jared wasn't a prince, so he wasn't qualified to propose a marriage.
Sir Hughes knew that his proposal wouldn't be easily accepted and had mentally prepared himself. So he said: "Mr. Russell is right. When a young lady marries, she should choose someone who treats her well so that their life together could be happy."
Hence, Slevin immediately diverted the conversation elsewhere.
When Sir Hughes left the Russell residence, it was already nine o'clock at night.
The moment Sir Hughes stepped out, the expressions of Slevin and Evelyn Campbell turned cold.
