"Nothing. I was happy that for once he was happy just because of me," she said.
"And you didn't say you do not wish to marry Nathan, that it's not your happiness?" Arthur asked. "You are going to sacrifice yourself for our father's happiness? It's your life, not his."
"I am not sacrificing anything," she raised her gaze to look at Arthur. "I am fine with it."
"But didn't you want to cancel it as well?"
"I never said I wanted to. It's Lord Nathaniel, and you said that this marriage is not right for me and I should reject it," she interrupted him. "Just like I always listen to everyone, I went for it, but then Father didn't want me to, so I obeyed him."
"Evie," Arthur felt speechless and frustrated. "Did you know you lost the only chance to reject this marriage and not ruin your life? I told you he is not right for you. Why didn't you listen to me?"
His heart broke. How could she not think about herself? Instead she was utterly calm.
