Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2392

The night passed quietly.

The next morning, Andrew headed straight to Sovereign's Apothecary.

Amari greeted him with a grin. "Andrew, this is a surprise. What brings you here so early?"

Andrew waved him over. "Come on, let's talk in your courtyard."

Amari's eyes lit up, and he chuckled mischievously. "Did you bring me some wine? I know it's work hours, but Madam Baxter's not around. No one's going to stop me from having a little drink."

Andrew shot him a glare. "That's all you ever think about! It's early morning, and instead of working, you just want to booze. Come on, I'm here because we need to discuss something important."

Amari's face fell with disappointment. "Fine. Let's talk business first."

Soon, the two men settled into comfortable chairs in the courtyard.

Amari poured Andrew a cup of tea and asked, "So what's on your mind?"

Andrew paused thoughtfully before speaking. "Amari, I've been thinking about arranging a marriage for you. Since I'm here in Chetvine and Mr. Zeroual is not here, I figured I should look after your future. You're my junior, after all."

Amari's neck tensed as he immediately shook his head. "Absolutely not! Let's forget about this. I'm doing just fine on my own these days. Besides, at my age, what kind of marriage are we even talking about? Am I supposed to find an old lady my age? Let me be clear! I'm not interested. I've been a bachelor all my life, and that's how it'll stay!"

Andrew looked genuinely surprised. "You're still a virgin? Are you serious?"
