The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1849

"I know. I won't interfere as much anymore," Silas promised, genuinely reconsidering whether he should push Quinton to get married.

Given Quinton's refusal to hold down a real job, he would never save enough money for a wedding on his own. With Leo so fiercely opposed to him helping, Silas felt completely stuck.

He nodded politely at his neighbor's advice. As he walked away, he overheard the man's wife whispering, "Quiet! Everyone knows Silas treats that man like his own son. Of course he's going to pay for the wedding."

Silas paused.

Was that how everyone saw it? That he was raising Quinton like a son? He had been doing exactly that, but if Quinton was truly a lost cause, marrying him off would just be ruining some poor girl's life.

Silas sat in his living room all morning, agonizing over the wedding dilemma.

Meanwhile, Claire had just dropped Shirley off at the airport.

Shirley had only met Mary briefly when they visited the house the day before. After having a simple meal, Shirley was practically in tears, refusing to leave.

Well, the meal had actually been brought over from next door. Finnian White's cooking was undeniably top-tier.

"Can't I just transfer to a college in Cabinda?"

Her family had a private chef back home who was decent, but compared to Finnian's skills, it was no contest. And who didn't love good food?

Claire glanced at the slight double chin forming under Shirley's jaw. "Weren't you obsessed with dieting? Have you given up?"
