Chapter 3566

Kathryn laughed in surprise. "You're blushing! I thought nothing could faze you. What did my mother say to make you blush like that? Did she promise you a beautiful woman for helping her drug me?"

Pedro replied, "That's what Madam Farrell said, but it wasn't an arrangement-it was an entrustment."

Kathryn's smile faded. "Did my mother really say that?"

Pedro nodded, his eyes serious. "Madam Farrell said you and I are of similar age, and I'll be yours for life. If you care for me, she'd allow us to be together. If she can't pass the family leadership to you, she asked me to take you away with the money she set aside for you. She said we should go somewhere no one knows us, start over, and be happy together. She made me promise never to let you down or let you suffer."

Pedro took Kathryn's hand, their fingers interlocking. "Miss, I'll never let you down-not in this life. No matter what you think of me, I'll stay by your side and make sure you never suffer."

"Madam Farrell thinks I'm a good match because I have no family, so you won't have to worry about in-laws. She said you're stubborn and might struggle with that. She also said that, despite your differences, you're still her daughter. Even though you've hurt her, she wants to pave the way for your future."

Pedro's voice softened as he added, "She also complained that you didn't want to settle down or get married. She said if you needed a successor, you could just find a man, get pregnant, and then get rid of him afterward."

At this, Pedro looked at Kathryn with a pitiful expression, as if he felt uncertain about his place in her life.

Kathryn laughed, pulling her hand away. She playfully pinched his face and ear. "Don't look at me like that! I haven't even slept with you yet. You're acting like I've wronged you."

Pedro smiled. "We'll talk about that later."Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Pedro's demeanor grew serious. "His surname is Jimenez." "Jimenez?"

Kathryn said, "He disappeared from Jensburg decades ago. Those who knew where he went are either dead or missing. Even the clan elders don't know much since they were just teenagers when my aunt got into trouble."
