"I have a girlfriend," Wilbur said.
Elise lowered her head and slowly replied, "How could someone as amazing as you not have a girlfriend? I''m doing this willingly, and I won''t bother you after."
Wilbur could not help but sigh inwardly. It would be a lie to say he was not tempted by a beauty offering herself to him like this. After all, he was a normal man with needs.
However, Elise was still too young in his eyes. She was around twenty at most. Even though she was already an adult, she was still not that mature.
Meanwhile, he had experienced so many hardships and emerged from life and death. He could not act on impulse, at least not for that moment.
After a moment, Wilbur said slowly, "You''re just acting on impulse right now, and I can''t guarantee that I can be responsible for you. Calm down for now."
With that, Wilbur nced at the warships that were gradually sinking into the sea and turned to walk down the watchtower.
Elise stood still with tears in her eyes. Then, she could not help but burst into tears.
After a long time, Elise put on her clothes as she cried. She then left Azure Castle to go back to her hotel.
Elise''s father and the others saw her return with traces of tears on her face.
Connor asked anxiously, "What happened?"
Looking at their concern, Elise shook her head and said, "It''s nothing. I''m just very tired. I want to rest."
"Elise, does it have something to do with Mister Penn?" Lindon asked.
Elise nodded silently.
Lindon was silent for a long time before he said slowly, "Did he reject you?" Lindon was Elise''s father, so he could more or less guess what happened.
Normally, he would not have asked something like that as her father, because it was not very appropriate.
However, the gravity of the matter meant that he had to be sure of what happened.
When she heard what her father said, Elise started to cry out loud.
Lindon looked at her and sighed before he said, "Don''t be too sad. Mister Penn is someone who stands at the peak of humanity. It''s no surprise that he rejected you. Not everyone can match up to him."
Elise continued to cry, and Jaden had a look of pain on his face, but there was nothing he could do about it.
He was just too far behind Wilbur. He had no right to be involved in Wilbur and Elise''s rtionship.
"Elise, if you truly want to be with Wilbur, then listen to me. We''ll go back and I''ll arrange for you to study in Seechertown. He stays there, so you''ll definitely have the chance to get close to him. When everything falls into ce between you two, the rest wille naturally. This concerns both your happiness and the future of ourpany, understand?"
Lindon had already made up his mind, but his belief was even more firm at that moment.
If they missed out on someone so peerless, they would regret it for life. Hearing what her father said, Elise gradually stopped crying and nodded at her father.
After experiencing Wilbur, Elise could no longer be interested in any other man. Regardless of how Wilbur treated her, she had decided to try to see if she could enter his heart.
Lindon nodded in satisfaction when his daughter agreed, while Jaden could not help but sigh. He realized that he would have no chance with Elise in this lifetime.
In the evening, Charlie returned to the castle and came to Wilbur''s side.
"Is everything done?" Wilbur asked.
Charlie nodded. "Yes, the president haspletely controlled the situation and no longer needs me."
"That''s good. Let''s buy some ne tickets. It''s time for us to leave," Wilbur said somewhat reluctantly.
Charlie hesitated for a moment.
"What is it?" Wilbur asked.
Charlie said, "The president says that he hopes you can stay for a few more days. Once he finishes handling this matter, he wants to thank you and grant you a title."
"No need. I helped him and he owes me a favor. I''ll just collect from himter on."
"There''s one more thing," Charlie said.
"Go ahead."
