Those words made Owen and Annabelle so embarrassed, they wished the ground would just swallow them up

Charlotte cleared her throat and spoke up. “My daughter should be the one to decide.”

Owen closed his eyes and took a while to gather his courage before finally speaking up again.

He looked at Natalie with a big grin, hesitating a bit, “Miss… Miss Moore, are you free this Friday? I could take you to the Serenity Sect.”

Natalie stood there with her hands in her pockets, looking totally calm. “That won’t be necessary.”

Wasn’t the whole reason they brought her here because she wanted to get into the Serenity Sect? Now she’s refusing? What
