The Devil's Betrothed novel Chapter 660

Chapter 660: Erin’s Explanation and Resolve

She was taken aback by what Rowan said, but his doubting question didn’t sit right with her. "What are you trying to imply, brother Rowan? Let me make it clear that my decision has nothing to do with anyone else."

"Swear on my name and say you do not have feelings for Lucian?" Rowan demanded, his tone and gaze determined to make his sister talk at all costs.

Erin felt a surge of annoyance. "I don’t have to do this when I am doing nothing wrong. I don’t understand what is the meaning of this talk at all. I won’t swear for anything."

"But I want to," Rowan insisted. "I want you to swear on my name that you are not doing this out of anger and being heart broken by that Lucian Rainier."

"Rowan," Euron and Rafal interjected, trying to stop him, but he persisted. "Let me speak. You two always want to paint me as the villain. You two can stand to her taking a wrong decision but I can’t. I will do anything to stop her, even if means turning a villain in her eyes."

Euron and Rafal stayed quiet, knowing Rowan wouldn’t relent.

"Tell me you didn’t feel hurt when you heard he rejected marrying you," Rowan pressed, urging his brothers to say something, anticipating Erin would react to a bit of provocation.

"Erin, didn’t you first agree to marry because Father was going to propose your marriage to Lucian?" Euron asked gently.

"It’s time to be honest and tell us what’s on your mind, Erin," Rafal added. "Your brothers don’t want you to make a decision on a whim and then end up regretting it."

Erin, gripping the armrests of her chair, listened to her brothers. She released her grip and inhaled deeply, trying to calm herself. "So you three think I agreed to this marriage because I was angry when Lucian rejected me? You think I am that kind of a person to plan revenge on someone who did nothing wrong?"

Rafal swallowed nervously at her words. "We don’t exactly mean that, but..."

"No," she interrupted her brother, "The way you three come to me showing your worry all the time, it shows what you think about your sister," her eyes glared at the three, her displeasure at their behavior clear. "I will say this one last time, and you have to listen to it. My decision has nothing to do with Lucian Rainier. This is what I have decided for myself with sane mind."
