Raising My Fiancé With Money

Chapter 51

Responsibility

TL: Jasmine

Lilia’s remarks made the surroundings quiet.

“You want to continue the business?”

As if he couldn’t believe it, Cliff asked. Violet also looked similar to Cliff. At their reaction, Lilia quietly clenched her fist. Perhaps because she was nervous, her palms were a little wet.

“Did I say that too hastily?’

She has not yet fully restored the trust of her family. They couldn’t suddenly welcome her and say she could continue the business now. It was an expected reaction, but her stomach was stinging more than she thought.

In the quiet dinner hall, Lilia lowered her gaze. She thought about saying that it was just a joke and that she was talking nonsense for a moment.

But she didn’t want to either. She hadn’t said it lightly, She didn’t want to withdraw because after much, consideration, she had sincerely meant it. Lilia raised her head again, strengthening her determination.

“I know I’m not good enough. I’m not as good as my older brother…. I haven’t learned anything or done anything.”

When she was in a relationship with Richard, she took a bridal class because she wanted to be a good wife.

Her parents disapproved of it, but they did not object. It was because it was Lilia’s choice.

“I don’t know if I deserve it…… but I want to try it.”

Lilia plucked up her courage and expressed her opinion. Violet and Cliff, who didn’t say anything for a moment, looked at each other. Heinley also put down the tableware and looked only at Lilia. Violet asked Lilia on behalf of the three,

“No… Since when have you been interested in business?”

“I’ve been interested in it for a long time, but it’s only recently that I want to inherit the business.”

“What are you going to do about getting married?”

“Marriage is…”

Lilia hesitated to answer for a moment. After Richard, Lilia had no desire to get married. It was only a contractual relationship with Karhan, and she decided to break up with him after achieving her goal a year later. She tried to answer that she would date, but not get married.

At that time, Karhan’s face suddenly came to mind. She remembered the way he looked at her, so Lilia wiggled her finger and said,

“…….I don’t have any thoughts about that yet.”

Violet nodded with a satisfied face.

“That’s possible.”

“Yeah, there’s no law that says you have to get married just because you’re in a hurry!”

Cliff was excited and added a word. Heinley, who had been silent, also responded positively and said,

“She’ll be in a lot of trouble if she becomes a Duchess. How many foxes are sitting in the social world…..”

Everyone seemed to have waited only for this time, Somehow, the topic seemed to have shifted from business to marriage, so Lilia changed the subject again.

“So I want to run the business……”

“Do it.”

Violet readily agreed. Lilia thought for a moment whether she had instead said she wanted to eat snacks and not about continuing the business.

“…..Are you really fine with it?”

“You can’t force a guy who doesn’t want to do it, can

you?”

Violet pointed at Heinley with her chin. Heinley pretended not to hear it and picked up the tableware again to eat.

“Such stubbornness…..”

“I think it’s time to give up on persuasion.”

When Heinley hit back, a tendon rose on the back of Violet’s hand.

“Since it’ll be Lilia that inherits the business, I don’t have anything to ask you anymore.”

Dazed, Lilia blinked. It was an opinion that she expressed after a lot of consideration. No matter how much her parents spoiled her, she didn’t know she would be allowed to do it this easily. Violet turned her head and looked back at Lilia,

“It’s been a while since you said you wanted to do something.”

“But it’s not just about determination.”

Violet’s light green eyes met Lilia’s.

“Can you swear you won’t run away even if something hard comes up?”

The Bloden name, which stretched out across the Empire, had grown so large that it had no significant rivals. In other words, the life and death of many people depended on the Bloden family. Their shoulders were already heavy.

A heavy sense of responsibility weighed down on Lilia. Now was the last chance to withdraw her remarks. Lilia, who had been quiet for a while, slowly opened her mouth,

“I swear.”

Violet confirmed Lilia’s commitment through her eyes.

“That’s enough for now. You should also consider your qualities as a businessman. Let’s think about it slowly.”

At Violet’s words, Lilia finally exhaled her breath

“My daughter has grown so much…”
