I intended to convince Gabrielle, but to my surprise, Kaelyn changed her attitude after hearing me.
She asked, "You're quite the stand-up guy, aren't you? Turning down such an easy opportunity to marry into a family and still looking out for Gabrielle at every turn… Alright then. Why don't you come back with her?
"Stay at my place for a few days so that I can see what kind of person you really are! If your character checks out, I wouldn't be opposed to considering you as a son-in-law."
Me? A son-in-law? What a dreamer!
If my parents heard this, they would probably roll their eyes so hard they would see the back of their heads.
There weren't many people in this country who could say they were willing to marry into the White family, and even fewer who could do it with their heads held high.
I was about to reject the idea when Gabrielle grabbed my hand. "Please, just come with me! I really need you. I need you so badly. It's just for three days! No! Just two days! Only two days, please!"
It was hard to say no.
I decided that two days wasn't too much to ask. I could treat it like a short vacation.
After dealing with The Dragonshade Society, looking after Tiffany, and finishing the work at the bar, I felt exhausted. A break would be just what I needed.
After a moment of thought, I nodded. "Alright. I'll go for two days."
And so, I followed Gabrielle to the Whitehead residence.
Even after we entered, I still had a sense of disbelief. How did I end up going home with her?
However, I called Mason to update him on Jane's situation once we arrived.
