Mrs. Marsh's Revealed Identities novel (Jennifer and Ivan) novel Chapter 1759

Chapter 1759: Claire Can't Escape

Claire, thinking he wasn't upset, relaxed a bit.

Out of politeness, she picked up the wine glass. Under Taylor's gaze, she took a sip, not detecting anything unusual. The wine was aromatic and not particularly strong.

"Claire, first of all, I want to congratulate you," Taylor mused, lifting his own glass. He took a sip, smiling. "Congratulations on becoming Lu Layeka's queen."

The words made Claire feel slightly awkward. It didn't sound like a blessing, more like a taunt.

"But there's something... I want to remind you of," Taylor smiled, telling her, "In Lu Layeka, a man having four wives is protected by law."

Polygamy? This surprised Claire; she knew some countries practiced it historically, but she hadn't expected it in Lu Layeka.

So, what was Taylor trying to convey?

Claire couldn't discern if it was a warning; it almost felt like a touch of schadenfreude.

But as she drank from the glass, she lightly retorted, "Your father has always had only one wife, hasn't he? Emotions aren't something the law can protect; it depends on finding the right person."

"You've only been together for six months. How can you be sure this person is right for you?"

Taylor swirled the wine glass gently, meeting the girl's gaze. He earnestly confessed, "I like you. I'm serious. Can you feel it?"

A tale of two brothers vying for the same woman? Unfolding right in front of her?

Claire had written about such melodramatic plots in novels before. If mishandled, it could lead to bitter enmity between the brothers. Moreover, considering the delicate relationship between Rowan and Taylor, who didn't share the same mother, the situation was even more complex.

So, Claire patiently responded, "Thank you for your affection, but I'm sorry I can't give you the response you're seeking."
