Mrs. Lucas was all too happy to oblige, quickly setting her utensils down. “That’s wonderful! You two have so much in common. I’ll head upstairs for my skincare routine.”
As soon as she left, Summer slid her chair closer to Ben.
“I don’t have time,” he stated bluntly.
“No problem. Another time, maybe?” Summer replied, undeterred. “There’s a new cafe near your law firm. How about we grab a coffee there next week?”
Summer didn’t retreat just because of one rejection. She wasn’t hoping for Ben to fall madly in love with her. She just needed him to agree to marriage and eventually have a child with her. That was enough.
Ben’s expression darkened. “I don’t have time any day, Miss Larson. My mother’s intentions for this dinner are obvious, and I don’t want to lead you on. I’m just going to be upfront that I’m not interested.”
Summer’s smile faltered briefly but recovered just as quickly. “Well, let’s not be so absolute. People can change their minds.”
When she first learned that her life would involve an arranged marriage, she resisted. But growing up privileged came with its own price. Her parents would always hold the final say in her marriage.
Ben’s situation was no different; as long as his family was involved, he’d have no choice in this matter either.
“Miss Larson, with everything you have to offer, you must have plenty of men vying for your attention. Why cling to someone like me?” Ben found himself almost amused by his own words.
