Chapter 859: Chapter 861

Dailey didn’t respond.

He reached for another cigarette and lit it.

Serena extended her hand, but he turned away.

“You really have no class. No wonder you got dumped.”

Dailey’s expression darkened as he sank into the couch, exhaling a cloud of smoke.

Serena was upset, but when she turned to look at him, sprawled casually with his legs crossed, there was an undeniable air of melancholy about him.

Combined with his handsome features and aloof demeanor, he was certainly captivating.

When you like someone, even their faults can seem tolerable.

Serena didn’t snatch the cigarette from him. Despite her feelings for Dailey, she didn’t want to inhale the secondhand smoke.

Standing at the foot of the bed, she watched him and said, “Marry me.”

Dailey merely chuckled.

Serena continued, unfazed, “You don’t want your mother constantly setting you up with new people, do you? Trapped in endless blind dates?”

“I don’t care who you truly love. Marry me, and you can have your freedom. I’ll even cover for you if you want to see her.”

“Besides, the Sinclair family is a perfect match for the Clarkson family. It’s a mutually beneficial alliance, resources shared.”

“It’s a deal you can’t lose.”

Dailey remained silent.

Before Serena went abroad, she often saw Dailey around the neighborhood. He was always distant and indifferent, never one to open up easily.

It made sense. If you showed what you cared about, enemies could use it against you.

But even if he wasn’t talkative or particularly friendly with women, his background and looks were enough to make them flock to him.

Before the arranged meeting, Serena had heard about his history with Christine. It was shocking to think that someone as composed as Dailey could be so consumed by love.

The desire to conquer is universal. Both men and women feel it.

For a man like him to fall madly at her feet—that would make life worthwhile.

“Honestly, I’m the only one who can offer you such a deal. Consider it.”

“We’d have a political marriage. Discreetly living our own lives isn’t out of the question.”

“All we need is a child to appease both families.”

Dailey stubbed out his cigarette and finally spoke, his voice icy.

“Miss Sinclair’s offer is indeed tempting.”

Serena suppressed her excitement. If they married, she would find a way to make him love her, forget Christine, and see only her.

“I don’t want to be forced into endless matchmaking either. In our circle, suitable matches are rare, and maximizing benefits is key.”

Dailey’s expression remained unchanged.

Serena’s face fell. “What are you talking about?”

Dailey didn’t care to elaborate.
