Chapter 4623
River said, “I don’t need other people to believe how sincere I am. I’ll prove it to Romina through my actions—that I love her for who she is, not for her family background.”
His own family background actually surpassed the Lafond family’s—but he didn’t tell President Sutton that. River and Romina were truly well-matched.
“It’s normal for Romina to be cautious,” River continued. “But time will reveal the truth. Eventually, she’ll believe me.”
President Sutton said nothing. She saw the resolve in his eyes. The man she’d fallen for—yet failed to win—was completely genuine when it came to Romina.
She felt a twinge of sadness. River was the only man who had truly moved her heart in years. He was exceptional—but he didn’t belong to her.
“River, if I were a few years younger than you, would you have liked me?” she asked. She had always suspected that their two-year age gap and River’s dislike for older women was the real reason he rejected her.
