NovelGoldChapter 1389:
Victor casually walked up to Elyse, touched his nose, and leaned in close with a tilt of his head and a playful
wink.
“Elyse, is my company really that intolerable?”
Taken aback by Victor's sudden closeness, Elyse shifted her gaze uncomfortably.
“No, you're mistaken.”
Victor responded, “Ah, so it’s Felicia who bothers you. You're upset because she’s meddling, trying to dictate
your marriage.”

Elyse hesitated, then let out a resigned sigh and nodded.
“Yes, that's exactly it.”
“Yet, in our social circles,” Victor continued smoothly, “it’s quite normal for marriages to align family interests.

Victor quickly explained, “No, no, don’t getwrong. I'm merely speaking hypothetically. Our families often
weigh the benefits heavily. If a marriage seems advantageous, it typically happens.”
Looking down, Elyse spoke in a subdued tone, “Hasn't your grandma mentioned that I've been married before?”
Victor hesitated, then nodded.
“I heard something about that.”
He recalled Pearce mentioning last summer that he had found his long-lost cousin who was already married to an
ordinary guy. At that time, he hadn't thought much of it. After all, she was married, and that was that. Curiosity
hadn’t piqued his interest.
However, when Felicia suggested a few days ago that he should meet Pearce’s cousin, Elyse, she became
relevant to his considerations again.
Noticing Victor's puzzled look, Elyse elaborated, “We're not a good match. I've been married, I've been pregnant,

Victor's mouth fell open.
“You're quite straightforward.”
Elyse gave a nonchalant shrug.
“It’s the reality. You would have discovered it sooner or later. There's no point in concealing it. And...” She
glanced at him, her voice dropping. “I don’t feel anything for you. | don’t see us together.”
Mirroring her shrug, Victor scowled.
“Don’t be so choosy. I'm quite a catch. Any woman would marry me.”
Her expression hardened.
