Thinking of Zachary Jenkins' attitude toward her, Scarlett Jackson's heart swayed violently.
She did like Zachary, but his attitude had crushed her romantic fantasies.
She was not naive, and now the Jackson family was at a low point. Forming an alliance with the Jenkins family might be an option...
"Grandfather, I disagree."
Just when Scarlett was surprised, Jerry Jenkins spoke first: "I don't want to marry a woman who has someone else in her heart."
"What about Zoey Lambert?" Mr. Jenkins widened his eyes, his muddy gaze full of disapproval. "So now Zoey likes you?"
"It's different." Jerry's tone was blunt, with a hint of tenderness. "Zoey Lambert doesn't like me, but I like her."
Scarlett's face turned red with embarrassment.
Jerry's implication was that he had no feelings for her.
If it were before, she would also resist Jerry's words.
But times have changed...
