The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1787

"Are you jealous?"

Finnian asked Steele.

Steele simply let out a loud scoff.

Whenever he and Finnian went on a mission together, women only ever stared at Finnian, treating Steele like some rugged lumberjack. How could he not be jealous?

He could be thoughtful too! He had even sewn up a tear in Finnian's pants in the middle of the night once!

Was there a better, more domestic—wait, no—more frugal and reliable man out there?

"I'm not jealous. My mom already said she's setting me up on blind dates when I go home for the holidays to find me a wife!"

While Steele envied guys who naturally attracted women, he knew he didn't have the looks for it, so arranged dates were a much safer bet for him.

Besides, while his massive frame might seem intimidating here in the city, back in his hometown, it wasn't considered weird at all.

After all, he was a man raised in the rugged countryside.

Next door, Claire heard Yara leave and headed back to the dining table with Rory and Jace.

"Hurry up and eat," Claire reminded them.

Rory and Jace quickly picked up their forks; the food was going to get cold if they waited any longer.

"Honestly, with cooking skills like Finnian's, even I'm tempted to make a move on him." Rory patted her stomach contentedly after finishing her meal.

She genuinely believed Finnian's culinary talent was top-tier.

Jace shot her an exasperated look. "Give it up. One look and you can tell Finnian isn't into your type."

"If you could actually win him over, I wouldn't mind," Claire offered her full support.

It wasn't every day you found a bodyguard who could cook this phenomenally.

"However, if you two actually started dating, Finnian would probably be reassigned back to base and they'd send a replacement."

The agency definitely wouldn't allow two bodyguards protecting the same target to date each other.

There was always the fear of compromising the protection detail. For example, if both the VIP and your girlfriend were in danger, who would you save first?

Logically, the VIP came first, but emotionally?
