Erin found herself in a daze as she stared into Damon’s calm eyes.

She remembered how he used to look at Nyla–his gaze filled with warmth and tenderness. It was a stark contrast to how he regarded her.

In the three years they had been engaged, Damon had never looked at her like that.

When he glanced her way, his expression remained calm, Indifferent, and distant–as if he were above it

all.

Sometimes, Erin wondered if he had agreed to the engagement merely because he saw her a

match.

a suitable

Pushing aside the chaotic thoughts swirling in her mind, she spoke softly. “It’s nothing. I’m probably just tired from the flight.”

She sat beside Damon, biting her lip before finally summoning the courage to ask, “Damon, how about we get married this year? Now that you’ve taken over the Sumner Group and everything is stable, I really want to get married.”

Damon didn’t answer right away. Instead, he asked coldly, “Why the sudden rush to get married?”

He had only gotten engaged to Erin to appease Richard and Marie and stop their constant attempts to set him up with random women.

Marriage? It was something he had never seriously considered.

In truth, he wasn’t interested in women at all. Perhaps it was time to think about replaceing a new fiancee.

Erin froze, disbelief creeping into her voice. “It’s been three years since our engagement. Isn’t marriage the natural next step? Or… did you never plan to marry me?”

Her voice wavered at the end of her question.

Damon set down his glass and looked at her with a straight face. “That’s right. I never intended to get married. If marriage is what you want, then we’re not suited to continue this relationship.

“I can offer you compensation. With your eligibility-

“Enough!” Erin interrupted, her eyes red with emotion, her voice choking. “If you never–planned to marry me, why did you agree to the engagement in the first place? Don’t you understand how I feel about you after all these years?”

“Sorry. What kind of compensation would you like?” Damon asked.

*Compensation? I don’t want compensation! I want you to marry me!” Erin demanded.

Damon’s gaze grew colder as he stood up, towering over her. “You can ask for anything, except marriage.”

With that, he turned and walked toward the door.

Before he could leave, Erin’s sharp voice rang out from behind him. “Damon, I won’t agree to end the

Nyla was still alive.

There was no way she would let Nyla take Damon from her.

Damon paused for a moment, then walked out without looking back.

Once inside the car, Luca couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Sumner, are you really not planning to marry Ms. Hulle?”

In his eyes, Erin was the perfect match for Damon–she came from a good family, had a kind personality, and was beautiful. They looked like a golden couple, the perfect match.

He couldn’t understand why, after being engaged for three years, Damon still hadn’t considered marrying

her.

Now that Erin had brought it up, Damon seemed to be thinking about

aking off the engagement.

What puzzled Luca even more was that in the past few years, there hadn’t been any other women around Damon, not even among his staff–all of his assistants were male.

He was starting to wonder if Damon might be interested in men.

Damon shot him a cold look. “If you like her so much, I can arrange an introduction.”

Luca was startled and quickly shook his head. “Mr. Sumner, I was wrong.”

“Take me to the hotel,” Damon ordered, his voice icy.

He then turned to look out the window, his face devoid of any emotion.
