Asina now made no attempt to hide the purpose of her visit. She kept her eyes on Cecilia as she spoke, confident the other woman would understand her meaning.
If Lu Xiao were to accept Fred as her main husband, the Lelis and Gallodro families would be joined by marriage—a clear win-win situation.
She was sure that Cecilia, who had always wanted to restore the Galiodro family's prestige and return it to its peak, would not refuse such a tempting offer.
Surely, she understood the simple implications of an alliance between two Duke Mansions.
However, just as Asina waited for a nod of agreement, Cecilia turned to Lu Xiao. "I don't meddle in the younger generation's affairs," she said. "If Xiao Xiao is willing, then she will accept. If not, then she will politely thank Asina for her kind intentions."
