Rowan suddenly blushed. He just rubbed his neck and chuckled nervously. "We're really too busy to attend to a wedding or anything like that. Also, I don't really feel like asking for anything…"
"How sad. Humph, if I see you with that new daddy, I will be so sure to let him know for you. You're too kind not to get anything in return." The attendant pouted and put her arms akimbo. She didn't want Rowan to waste another ten years with someone who couldn't marry him.
"…please don't pressure him…" Rowan couldn't tell her about his mistake years ago. He wondered if Duke had not forgotten about it yet. After all, Duke had never asked him anything about marriage.
