Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 1160

He was entirely candid.

It was the quiet certainty of a man who had thought it through and decided to put all his cards on the table.

She had expected to hear hollow promises like, "I'll take good care of her," or "I'll make her happy."

"An admission ticket..."

Rosalind chewed on those words in her mind.

She suddenly realized she had been viewing the situation far too cynically.

True, pure sincerity did exist in this world.

At the very least, in that exact moment, she saw it in him.

After a long silence, Rosalind let out a deep, heavy sigh.

The weight that had been pressing on her chest for days finally evaporated.

She picked up her teacup and took a long sip, as if steadying her own nerves. "Tell her to cook less in the future. It's bad for your health."

Seth's rigid posture finally, slowly, relaxed.

Noreen had no idea what they had talked about.

But she could clearly feel the shift in Rosalind's attitude.

She was intensely curious about how Seth had actually managed to win her mother's approval.

So, when she walked him downstairs, she couldn't help but ask.

Seth stopped walking and turned his head slightly to look at her.

He was half-hidden in the dim shadows of the street, making his eyes look exceptionally deep in the night.

"It's a secret," Seth said, holding her gaze. His tone was laced with an undeniable, gentle certainty. "You just need to choose me. Leave the rest to me."

Noreen's heart fiercely skipped a beat.
