“Huh? You can’t say that. How is it that my protection detail toward Holly is the same as the one for my future son-in-law? You and Holly are childhood playmates. Although Holly was a little egoistic and rude due to me spoiling her, I can see that she likes you to the extent that I think you’re the only one she’s willing to marry. Now, according to the marriage law in Country R, Holly has reached the legal age for marriage. From what I think…”
Blaine interrupted Paul, “President, it seems that you aren’t really concerned about my private matters as I thought.”
Paul was momentarily stunned and could not grasp Blaine’s meaning behind his words.
Blaine smiled and continued, “I have a girlfriend and I’m seeing her as my future life partner.”
Paul was startled. “Leader Blaine is such a busy man and where would you have the time to date? It’s quite rare and unexpected to be hearing this from you.”
The Blaine that Paul knew was an ambitious, vicious person who was constantly busy with political matters and work. He had never come across any rumors regarding Blaine dating any ladies from influential families. Paul even thought that the only female Blaine interacted the most with was Holly.
Although he had an intuition that Blaine might not like Holly in a romantic way, it had never crossed his mind that Blaine would like other girls. He even felt that Blaine’s relationship with Holly was considered intimate enough.
“We just started dating this month and hence it’s normal that you didn’t hear of it. However, Princess Holly holds a place in my heart. She’s like a younger sister to me.”
Paul’s gaze darkened, but as he lifted his gaze to look at Blaine again, his eyes slightly brightened, though it looked rather threatening. “It seems that the lady you’re seeing is way better than Holly. Which family is she from?”
Blaine answered impassively, “She’s not someone from an influential family. She’s just a “stray kitten” whom I’ve taken in from the streets.”
“How could I forget that you’re just a young man after all? As a man, I do understand that you like to flirt around. It’s not that you can’t fool around with “stray kittens”, but you can’t just simply pick any “kittens” or “puppies” from the streets to become your wife.”
