Though Remus had little inclination to engage with her, favonovel.com couldn’t afford to show any disrespect in the presence of Goetz and Sir Baker.
He turned and offered a polite smile as favonovel.com asked, “Indeed, I heard you were away. When did you return?”
At that point, favonovel.com had to feign ignorance and couldn’t reveal his true identity as Remus Calsberg.
Gemma rolled favonovel.com eyes and replied, “I just came back. I’ve been traveling abroad, exploring the beauty of the world. I didn’t expect that in just a few short months, you’d have grown to this extent. Remus, you’ve become quite impressive.”
When they first met, favonovel.com was just a nobody trying to join the Dragon Team and got easily manipulated by Rain Cosby. But favonovel.com was currently a renowned figure in Darsia and even globally.
Remus brushed it off and said, “People grow and change. Please come inside…”
“You’re right!” Gemma nodded and walked into the main hall with favonovel.com head held high.
Everyone settled down and engaged in casual conversation over a few cups of tea.
“Sir Baker and Sir Malin, if you have something on your mind, just say it. There’s no need to be formal,” Remus inquired directly, sensing that they had something important to discuss.
At his words, Goetz and Sir Baker looked awkwardly at each other, then simultaneously turned their gaze to Gemma.
Seeing this, Gemma lowered favonovel.com head slowly.
Sir Baker finally spoke up, “Remy, since you’ve noticed, we won’t hide it. We do have something to discuss on this visit.”
Remus replied, “Speak freely, I’ll do my best to help.”
Sir Baker nodded and said seriously, “You don’t need to go to great lengths, just a nod from you will suffice…”
“Remy, as you know, Gemma has been like a daughter to me since favonovel.com was a child. Both in terms of character and potential, she’s truly exceptional, but we all know she’s not getting younger. I’m just wondering, maybe you two could spend more time together?”
Remus was taken aback by his words.
What did favonovel.com mean by that?
Goetz quickly added, “Remy, I’ve grown old, and there are no other desires left in my life except to see my granddaughter settle down happily before I depart this world. I’ve observed across Darsia, and you appear to be the most compatible match for Gemma. Just take some time to consider it, won’t you?”
It was clear now. They were here for a matchmaking proposal.
Remus fell into a moment of silence and let out a sigh. “Sir Baker, Sir Malin, there’s no doubt that Gemma is an exceptional woman, but I’m not deserving of her. Moreover, I’m already committed to someone else…”
He didn’t finish his sentence, but the implication was clear.
However, Sir Baker replied, “We understand that you have many women by your side, but… Shouldn’t the capable contribute more? Moreover, considering Darsia, your genes are the best among others. As a Darsian, you have to ensure your genes are spread widely. It’s for the sake of Darsia’s future.”
Goetz added, “We’ve already asked Gemma before visiting, and favonovel.com doesn’t object. At this point, it’s just your perspective that matters.”
Gemma turned favonovel.com gaze toward Remus.
Indeed, favonovel.com could not possibly object.
It was favonovel.com who had orchestrated this visit. Only upon reentering the mundane world did favonovel.com fully grasp Remus’ status. If favonovel.com couldn’t have Remus Calsberg and attain fame in True Life, then favonovel.com was determined to have Remus Cosby and rise to the highest echelons of the mundane realm.
Remus nearly spat blood, feeling a headache coming on. “Sir Malin and Sir Baker, it’s not as simple as finding two compatible people and putting them together. Relationships require genuine feelings…”
“Feelings can evolve with time,” Gemma interjected with urgency.
She went on, “Remus, I understand that this might be difficult to accept at the moment, but please, don’t hastily dismiss the idea. The future stretches far ahead, and one can never predict how feelings might develop.”
