"Excuse my bluntness, but it's Sean Lentz who would truly be at a loss in the latter half of his life without my aunt, not the other way around."
"She's beautiful and perfectly capable of fending for herself. Not just now, but even ten years from now, men would line up to marry her."
"Even if she truly had no suitors, she could live a good life on her own. What would she need a loser man for—to raise as an extra dog?"
As she said this, the fierceness in Elly's eyes grew more intense.
