Chapter 192
“Can you at least tellwhy? Is it tny conduct as a person? Or are you worried about the rumors that might
start to fly?” Soren asked.
My cheeks flushed even more, and | couldn't meet his gaze Um... I... | just think... I've been divorced and... |
don’t have the best reputation and...”
| trailed off, hoping he understood what | meant.
To my surprise, Soren simply shrugged and smiled. “I didn’s just learn that you ended things today. And you
weren't the reason your relationship ended. The man let it down. Why should you be at fault?”
“I know, but rumors can be damaging. Especially since your family is one of the noblest in this nation, and...” |
stopped myself before | could continue.
The Kenways were as blue-blooded as it got. Anyone marrying into a family like that would have to be perfect in
every way-looks, education, skills, family background.
As for me? | was from a mediocre family with a mediocre education.

Yes, my career was improving, but my father was locked up now, and my divorce was just another mark against
me.
The only thing | had going forwas my looks-but even that didn’t compare to the beauties from elite families
like the Kenways.
Soren sighed, his shoulders slumping slightly. “I've never thought being born into an elite family could be seen
as a demerit.”
“That's not what | meant!” | quickly explained. “There’s nothing wrong with you! It’s not you.... It's me.”
He nodded. “I get it.”
Get it? | looked at him, confused. Did I just turn him down?
“Con, let's go inside. My mom's been expecting you for quite a while now,” Soren said gently, not seeming
upset at all despite my rejection.
| nodded, still feeling unsure of myself, and followed him inside.
Lisbeth greetedwarmly. “Taylor, dear! It's been so long | thought Ren must have upset you, considering how
distant you've been.”
| couldn’t help but smile. “No way, MadKenway! That's not it at all. Mr. Kenway has been so helpful to me
lately. I'm really grateful, so there’s no reason forto keep a distance from you!”
“Is that so? Then you should spend more twith him. Young people should form close relationships, don’t you
think? Make sure to get to know each other well!” she said with a playful twinkle in her eyes.
| hesitated, unsure of what she meant by that.
Was she hinting at something? | chose to play along, pretending not to notice the underlying meaning.
“Mr. Kenway, please go ahead and change into your suits. Let's see if any alterations are needed,” | suggested.
“Alright. I'll change upstairs,” he replied before heading up with a housekeeper who carried his suits.
Lisbeth pulledtoward the couch and satdown, her gaze sharp and focused as she studiedfor a
moment.

“You've grown thinner,” she remarked. “I heard you've been through a lot lately. | can tell from how much
smaller you've gotten.”
| felt uneasy under her scrutiny.
Was she sizingup? Was she evaluating if | was worthy of Soren?
| had heard her and the rest of the Kenways discussing potential candidates the other day.
“I'm fine, MadKenway. My weight is about the sas always,” | said, trying to brush it off.
“No, no. You've gotten thinner, | can tell. Please eat more at lunch. Chef Remy’s preparing all your favorites,” she
insisted.

“Thank you, MadKenway,” | replied politely, grateful for her concern. “You're too kind.”
| remembered the gift | had brought for her and took it out of my bag. “A small present for you. It’s getting colder
now, so | thought you might like a wool scarf.”
