Chapter 550 A Dangerous Hesitation

The smile on Shawn’s face almost froze. “I told you,” he said, “how much I like Winnie doesn’t matter compared to my personal interests.”

Draven asked calmly, “Then what do you want me to say?”

Shawn suddenly got stuck. “You … it’s just a casual chat.”

Draven frowned slightly. “You want me to say I support your arranged marriage, right? You don’t want to hear anything else?”

“Yes!” Shawn said immediately. That was exactly the answer he wanted. “I want my friend to support my choice no matter what. Don’t tell me not to let go of someone I like, like I’ll regret it if I do.”

Draven looked at him quietly. “Aren’t you usually confident and decisive?”

He patted Shawn on the shoulder. “My opinion doesn’t matter. As long as you’ve thought it through.”

Hearing that, Shawn suddenly understood.

Shawn had always made his own decisions. He never doubted himself. But when it came to Winnie and this arranged marriage, he was hesitating.

Yes.

He was actually hesitating.

That was why he kept pressing Draven for answers. He wanted to hear what he already believed. And when he didn’t hear it, he got upset.

Shawn laughed at himself.

This was strange. He was almost thirty years old. For the first time, a woman had challenged his rational judgment. That was dangerous.

It was even more dangerous because this decision was supposed to be easy.

Normally, he would end things with Winnie, go on blind dates, and then get married.

Draven was right. He didn’t need advice from anyone. He just needed to figure out what he really wanted.

Shawn really needed time to think.

But right now, he couldn’t figure it out.

So he changed the topic. “What about you? Why don’t you and Troy do arranged marriages?”

“Me?” Draven said, his voice carrying a faint trace of sarcasm. “Same as you. Family tradition.”

The love and hate between their parents looked like it had been settled long ago. But in reality, it was

Chapter 550 A Dangerous Hesitation

Finished

Watching his parents‘ relationship, Draven had never wanted to get married.

If he hadn’t met Ayla, he probably wouldn’t have fallen in love at all.

As for Troy …

Maybe he was the same.

Draven knew clearly that he and Troy didn’t fall in love with the same woman at the same time. Troy was just luckier. Only a few minutes earlier, Troy had entered Ayla’s life first.

Otherwise, Troy and Ayla would never have crossed paths.

Shawn knew all about the complicated love stories between Draven and Troy’s father and their mothers. His father wasn’t much better. Besides his legal wife, the rest were just lovers and their children.

But Draven and Troy’s father was different. He chose powerful, strong women.

Especially Draven’s mother. Shawn had been lucky enough to see her once at a high–level business and political gala. Kayla was smiling, but her presence was terrifyingly powerful. Just standing near her made you feel real authority. Pure power.

Maybe Eric simply likes women stronger than himself.

“And not just that. You guys can make your own choices. Me…” Shawn chuckled. “I’ve basically been trained to follow the system.” He said it without any self–mockery. He had fully accepted it. Then he joked about himself. “For my family, marriage is just an efficient and stable way to run capital and business. Who even talks about love?”

Then Shawn asked, “So when are you and Ayla getting married?”

Draven looked through the glass window into the room.

Inside, Ayla was chatting happily with Winnie. Maybe Winnie had asked a question that was hard to answer, because Ayla looked like she was thinking carefully.

Earlier, Ayla had told him her true feelings. She promised she no longer had any feelings for Troy. That was exactly what Draven wanted to hear. He believed her, and it deeply moved him.

On an emotional level, Ayla gave him a strong sense of security. Whenever he overthought things and trapped himself in negative thoughts, a few simple words from her could set him straight again.

If he were dating someone else, someone not as sharp as Ayla, or someone who couldn’t sense his thoughts almost by instinct, their relationship would probably be full of more and more conflicts over time.
