Chapter 234 All About Fair Competition.

Finished

Upon hearing these words, Waverly’s crying ceased immediately. She looked at Casimir with hopeful eyes and said, “Casimir, Raylee is right. This is a good opportunity with everyone present. Shall we clear the air? I know you’re unable to let go of your feelings for Raylee, but the three of us can’t remain entangled like this. As long as you are completely devoted to me from now on, I won’t mind that you had feelings for Raylee before.”

Casimir didn’t continue where she left off. With his gaze deeply fixed on Raylee, he asked, “Is everything you said true?”

Could she really disregard societal prejudices and be with me?

At that moment, Casimir was so overwhelmed with emotion that his voice trembled when he spoke, and his heart rate was accelerating uncontrollably as well.

It felt as though he had been waiting for centuries to hear those words.

Waverly looked at Casimir in disbelief.

She

She never imagined that his first reaction would be like this.

His question indicated that the balance had already tipped in Raylee’s favor.

In an instant, Waverly’s spirits plummeted. She couldn’t help but lean into Samuel’s embrace, quietly sobbing.

In response to Casimir’s question, Raylee stared intently at him before replying in a calm and unhurried manner, “Of course, Mr. Sutherland. As long as you’re willing to let Waverly go, I’m prepared to get marriage to you right away! As you know, I’ve loved you for many years. In the past, you seemed to ignore me, but now, your affection for me has grown. Honestly, I’m really happy about it. Caz, I just need you give me that word of assurance today. Once you do, I promise to repay you with a lifetime of happiness!”

Those words of a promise slipped out effortlessly, yet they weren’t convincing enough to be perceived as sincere.

However, her calling him “Caz” had left Casimir utterly bewitched.

In the past, Raylee was nothing more than his little tag–along.

She followed him wherever he went, and she would always call him “Caz.”

Back then, he didn’t appreciate her. In fact, he found her constant presence rather annoying.

But now, in his heart, she was as precious as a first crush.

The only thing that could be more powerful than one’s first crush, was none other than sweet nothings uttered by said first crush.

“Caz, you’ve repeatedly asked me if I’ve stopped loving you, accusing me of being cold–hearted, of just falling out of love. Well,

what?”

Raylee blinked her eyes, and as her gaze danced, she said with an affectionate undertone, “How could it be possible to simply let go of the man I’ve loved for so many years? When I said I didn’t love you, it was merely a show of false bravado. I have my dignity and my pride too, after all. I was merely upset when you broke off our engagement and turned around to marry another woman. I was truly heartbroken, often waking up in tears from my dreams in the middle of the night…”

Raylee even feigned sadness by lowering her head.

Isn’t this just the typical sweet and innocent act that pretentious women love putting up? Waverly knows how to play this game well, but I’m no less skilled than her!

“Ray–Ray, are you speaking from your heart? You’re not deceiving me, are you?”

Casimir’s deep, dark eyes were fixed intently on Raylee, his heart completely captivated by her.

It was as if he had completely forgotten about Waverly’s existence.

Samuel was furious and yelled at Raylee, “You previously claimed that you had no interest in Casimir, but now you’re
