"I'm not getting married."
"Oh, Hugo!"
Elise was greatly taken aback by Hugo's sudden statement.
All this time, Dominic Chae had been subtly hinting to the people at Snowflake that Hugo and Elise were engaged.
Neither Maximus Kang nor Hugo had ever explicitly stated their position on this rumor, and at Snowflake, the engagement of the two was considered almost a fait accompli.
But Elise knew.
CEO Maximus Kang was merely turning a blind eye to add Dominic Chae's influence to his grandson, and Hugo was simply not rebelling against his grandfather. At least not yet.
Among them, there was no one who harbored any affection or love for Elise.
"You know the reason too, don't you?"
"...I just need you, Hugo."
Elise, who had been standing in a daze, suddenly raised her head and spoke.
Hugo simply stood there, silently watching Elise.
"Really. I just need you, Hugo. I don't need anything else."
Elise emphasized once again.
