Chapter 4854
Aitana’s answer left no room for doubt: she truly would never fall in love with Joaquin.
Alex felt a quiet relief. “Feelings can’t be forced,” he said. “If you don’t love him, then you don’t. Just be honest with him. Marriage is a lifelong commitment. Don’t settle.
“Maybe it’s because everyone in my family takes love seriously. They only marry when they’re deeply in love. I think you’re right—a marriage without love is hard to last.”
“I don’t love Senior Joaquin,” Aitana said. “First, because I simply don’t. Second, because I don’t like his family background.”
“My grandmother always says marriage isn’t just between two people but between two families,” Alex replied. “Family background matters.”
“I think so too,” Aitana agreed.
