“And no, it’s not the news of the Roberts family’s bankruptcy.”
She casually reached into one of her drawers and pulled out a document, and then slid it across the desk to Nathaniel.
Nathaniel walked to the desk, picked up the document and read through it carefully.

He had always seen Eleanor as the little girl who had saved him many years ago.
He made it his duty to protect her when she wanted him to.
And when she had expressed her desire to be his wife, he had agreed to it without hesitation.
