Serena met Mr. Blackwood's hopeful gaze.
His words made her want to laugh.
Just how poorly did Nicholas rank in his grandfather's eyes?
Was his face really the only thing he had going for him?
She wondered what Nicholas would think if he heard his grandfather's assessment of him.
She chuckled but didn't respond, showing no intention of continuing the topic.
Meanwhile, Riley, who was mired in the despair of being rejected by his goddess, suddenly heard his grandfather still trying to advocate for him, still pushing to set him up with his goddess.
He couldn't help but touch his own face.
It seemed like his face really was all he had to offer.
If only he were as outstanding as his cousin...
His goddess wouldn't have rejected him so quickly.
It was all his fault for spending the last twenty years indulging in fun and games, learning nothing, and being good at nothing.
Now he was making his grandfather... his proud grandfather, who had held his head high his whole life, stoop so low, so desperately hoping Serena would agree to an engagement with him.
A wave of warmth washed over Riley's heart.
But just as that warmth spread...
He heard his goddess let out a small laugh.
Riley's eyes shot wide open.
