"Still, I am quite the catch."
"Oh, yes. How could I forget that you are ever so charming and have a long line of ladies who cannot forget you? I am sure it will be quite hard for her to move on from you," Eloise spoke with sarcasm.
"That tone doesn't suit you, Eloise. I was merely telling a joke," said Damien.
"I fail to believe it was all a joke, but she will indeed take some time to move on from you. Iris had her eyes set on you for some time now, and it wasn't all because of her mother's wishes. It is unfortunate that we are in this state over a man," Eloise said, upset with the situation.
"I mean you no offence," Eloise said, realising she might have insulted Damien.
"I am not offended," Damien replied. "While we ride to the court, let us decide on the wedding. It should be done quickly."
