Summer Sutton was taken aback for a good while, then composed herself, saying calmly, "Grandpa Ink, you're right, Manuel is indeed great, hardly anyone can compare. Manuel needs a girl as outstanding as him to be suitable."
Her words belittled herself quite a bit.
In fact, she conveyed her underlying message quite clearly.
Old Master Ink, being so clever, would surely understand?
Summer Sutton thought that was the end of it.
Unexpectedly, Old Master Ink seriously scrutinized her, then couldn't help but add, "I think your conditions aren't too bad. Admittedly, not many can match our Manuel, but at least you're pleasing to the eye. Marriage, after all, is about two people living together, and I think compatibility in appearance is the most important."
Smiling warmly, he asked again, "What do you think?"
Summer Sutton was caught by his question, unsure how to respond.
