If Mr. Christensen didn't care about her at all, why would Daniel go to such lengths?
It made sense!
How could someone of Anthea's lowly status ever catch the eye of Mr. Christensen? The only reason Mr. Christensen had approached Anthea was probably to get her attention, after all, Anthea had once usurped her position! Thinking this, Rebecca felt that the grievances she had suffered before were insignificant.
After all, Mr. Christensen loved her.
Once married to Mr. Christensen, who in all of Luxphinia would dare look down on her?
Rebecca smiled slightly, saying with intent, "I was just asking, but I do think Mr. Christensen and sister Anthea make a good match."
She said this on purpose.
She had to let Sherman know through Daniel that she was not like other flamboyant women. Only by doing the opposite could she make Sherman fall for her irretrievably!
Daniel said, "They do seem like a good match, but I think a goddess with Sherman is somewhat mismatched. Both are so formidable, Sherman suits someone more demure and gentle, like you, Rebecca."
Anthea and Sherman were equals. Two strong personalities together just don't mix. Neither of them is less than the other, and if forced together, conflicts are inevitable!
Most importantly.
Sherman is a vegetarian. And Anthea eats everything. How could Sherman ever tolerate someone who eats meat by his side? So, Rebecca is clearly a better match for Sherman.
Rebecca chuckled, somewhat shyly, "Me, a match for Mr. Christensen?"
Daniel paused.
Was Rebecca backing out because she felt she wasn't good enough for Sherman? She's too kind!
Daniel continued, "Rebecca, you're wonderful, don't underestimate yourself."
