Since that was settled, I did not plan on staying any longer.

There have been issues that I needed to do now due to what had occurred right here right now, so I needed to go and handle them. 

However earlier than I might go, Haley out of the blue stopped me.

I used to be confused why she stopped me, however I waited for her to talk.

She gave the impression to be hesitating over one thing as she did not say something at first, however then she out of the blue requested me, “About shopping for the shop, had been you severe?”

This query caught me off guard and I checked out her with one forehead raised, not understanding why she would out of the blue ask this query.

All I noticed in her eyes was a severe look as if she was anticipating a severe reply to this query.

So whereas I used to be nonetheless confused by why she would ask this query, I replied, “Effectively, it was half severe and half not.”

This time, it was Haley’s flip to be confused as she requested, “Half severe? What do you imply?”

I defined, “I am on this enterprise since it’s the third largest firm within the metropolis. That is undoubtedly a enterprise that’s value investing in. The issue is that I’ve to speak to others first earlier than making this resolution.”

Haley revealed a teasing smile as she mentioned, “I assumed {that a} baron like your self would be capable of make any resolution that he needed. It seems that you just nonetheless must confer along with your subordinates first.”

This was simply teasing since she knew that this was simply good enterprise sense.

If one rushed into making a purchase order like this, they might undergo ultimately since there have been many various issues that needed to be thought-about.

In the event that they did not suppose it via and acquired this enterprise with none thought, each the client and the enterprise would undergo.

Nonetheless, that wasn’t what I meant once I mentioned that I wanted to speak to somebody.

In response to this teasing, I revealed a bitter smile and mentioned, “It is not like that. I’ve to speak to my spouse first earlier than I do one thing as massive as this.”

When Haley heard this, she could not assist revealing a wierd look as she instantly mentioned, “Spouse? You might have a spouse?”

I did not perceive the unusual look that she had, however I mentioned with a nod, “That is proper.”

The unusual look on Haley’s face continued to evolve earlier than she lastly revealed a smile and mentioned, “As a baron, I am positive that you do not simply have a single spouse, proper? You should even have many various concubines, proper?”

Once I heard this, I could not assist revealing a bitter smile once more earlier than shaking my head. Then I mentioned, “I would not dare do one thing like that, she’s the one with the noble title. I am the husband that she took in, so I would not dare do one thing like that to her or else she would certainly divorce me.”

Whereas I did not know if this was true, it was true that Baroness Rose was the one with the title and I simply married her.

I knew that I would not maintain the title if she ever divorced me, so I did not dare act too cocky with it. In any case, this wasn’t one thing that was mine within the first place, so I would not use it to brag.

As for utilizing it to scare off a number of individuals…I wasn’t above that.

Haley fell silent when she heard this and the look on her face utterly disappeared.

There was this unusual calm look that appeared on her face that appeared like she was hiding the feelings that she was feeling.

However once I seemed carefully, I might see…a hint of what gave the impression to be disappointment in her eyes.

Why would she really feel disappointment over this?

I simply could not perceive in any respect.

Nonetheless, seeing that she wasn’t saying something, I made a decision to vary the subject again to what we had been speaking about earlier than.

“As for purchasing the shop, I am positive that my spouse would see the profit in that. However proper now, our territory is struggling a bit, so earlier than that, we would not consider shopping for something.” I simply defined in a peaceful voice.

Haley did not react at first as if she hadn’t heard me, however then she gave an understanding nod earlier than saying, “You might have your circumstances, I perceive that. I used to be simply hoping that I might get an understanding accomplice like you rather than the one which I’ve proper now.” After saying this, she revealed a bitter smile.

I additionally revealed a smile once I heard this as I assumed again to her father.

Since we had completed speaking about this, there was nothing else for us to speak about.

So I bid her farewell and headed off.

…

After he was gone, Haley revealed a glance that had a hint of disappointment once more.

She seemed out the window, watching as his carriage disappeared earlier than muttering to herself, “So he already has a spouse…and she or he’s the one who has the noble title…”

She did not know why she was so hung up over this, however there was a tiny feeling of unhappiness that was within her coronary heart at any time when she considered this.

She additionally could not assist considering of the way in which that he seemed when he had appeared to save lots of her. She considered each the time on the street and when he had saved her earlier from her father.

As she considered this, she could not assist shedding herself in a little bit of a daze as a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.

However then she out of the blue shook her head and pulled herself out of her daze.

Haley mentioned to herself, “No, no, I’ve to focus, I nonetheless have extra work to do. I nonetheless must go discuss to our staff and arrange a transport to convey the meals and provides to his territory.”

As she considered how she would be capable of assist her saviour, there was a little bit of happiness that stuffed her coronary heart.

However on the similar time, there was one other feeling that she did not perceive that dug its approach into her coronary heart.
