Aldana Candi looked at their back-and-forth exchange, a trace of confusion passing over her face. After a while, she quietly said, "…But I don't have much money."
Steven Balance placed a piece of fish on her plate, "It doesn't matter if you don't have money. You can owe it, pay it back later."
Aldana Candi shook her head honestly, "I can't pay it back."
Even if she were naive, she knew that the tendon rehabilitation surgery Liam Summer arranged for her was the latest in medical technology, and selling herself might not even cover the medical expenses.
Steven Balance glanced at her and said slowly, "You can pay it back."
Aldana Candi repeated, "I don't have money."
"It doesn't matter if you don't have money," he said with a grin. "When the time comes, you marry me, you'll be the lady of the Balance Family, and my money will be your money. Isn't that a good deal?"
"…!" Aldana Candi was speechless. She lowered her head and mumbled, "Stop joking."
