To Love a Shadow To Be the Sun novel Chapter 367

It felt like a scene from a brothel, with a madam brokering a deal. Mr. Fielding was practically drooling, nodding enthusiastically.

"Mrs. Lawrence, what is the meaning of this?" Elara asked.

Fiona smiled sweetly. "Isn't it obvious? I'm introducing you to a potential husband." She gestured to the man beside her. "Mr. Fielding is a successful entrepreneur, and his wife just passed away. He's in need of someone to warm his bed. You like to climb the social ladder and find rich men, don't you? See? You're perfect for each other."

He lunged for her again, and again, she sidestepped him. "Mr. Fielding, even if you're in a hurry, you could at least let me finish what I have to say."

Though he was impatient, her beauty made him pause. "Fine, fine. Make it quick."

Elara lowered her eyes, feigning reluctance. "There's something I don't know if I should say… Sending me to you was just an excuse for Mrs. Lawrence. She… she…"
