"I'm not sure, but keeping my distance from all the ladies seems like the right move," Romeo said, then looked up at Chasel and asked, "Chasel, what brings you here?"
"Rose said she wanted to take a walk alone, and I couldn't just sit still, so I came to check on her."
"Same here."
"Are you really not interested in Serena at all?" Chasel asked as they walked on. "If Rose hadn't come back to this family, would you have married Serena?"
"No way," Romeo's voice was firm. "Actually, I even considered calling off the engagement before."
Not only had he considered it, he had actually almost done it. But then he found out that his betrothed was Rose, so he changed his mind at the last minute.
Hearing this, Chasel was taken aback. "Do you realize what calling off the engagement at the last minute would mean for our two families?"
"I'm aware."
