Chapter 528

Chapter 528:
“I’ve brought up Milton, Sigrid. I know him best. He’s had everything he’s ever wanted since he was a child, so he has little interest in most things. But when there’s something he wants, he will try every means to get it. He is incredibly persistent.”
After a pause, Erica continued, “You and Milton have known each other for almost a decade, yet you haven’t established a relationship. I think that’s a hint, dear. If I were you, I wouldn’t get my hopes up. I’m sorry, but I want to be direct with you. I don’t want you to waste your time and energy pursuing something that has almost no chance of becoming yours. More importantly, I don’t want you to end up getting hurt or creating a rift between two families that are in perfect harmony.”
Sigrid’s body stiffened, and her mind went blank. Did she mishear Erica? Did Erica just subtly ask her to give up on Milton? This was the last thing she had expected.
Hadn’t Erica wanted to unite their families through Sigrid and Milton’s marriage?
Sigrid had always thought that with her family’s status and reputation, and the friendship between her mother and Erica, Erica would be more than willing to accept her as Milton’s future wife. Why had Erica personally taken her to the Royal Garden Corporation then? Was it just because of her mother’s request?
She had thought that Erica genuinely liked her.
The corners of Sigrid’s mouth twitched. She wanted to flash her perfect smile but failed.
“Mrs. Lopez, to be honest, I have been in love with Milton for many years. I fell in love with him the moment I first met him in college…” Sigrid explained anxiously. She didn’t care if she seemed desperate.
Erica sighed and replied, “I’m being direct. It might hurt, but I’m doing this for your own good. After all, I watched you grow up. Sigrid, listen, even if you like him, do you think he feels the same? Does he like you? From what I know, although he seems calm, he is actually very impatient. If he truly liked you, he wouldn’t have let so much time pass without being with you. He wouldn’t have let you wait for so many years.”
Biting her lip, Sigrid blushed in embarrassment.

Yes, Erica had cut to the chase.
Sigrid was one year ahead of Milton in college and the president of the Student Union. Although Milton wasn’t interested in extracurricular activities, there were still times he needed to interact with students.
On campus, students always had to show respect for their seniors. Even though Sigrid was just one year older, she still held seniority. She was popular and well-respected in school.
Moreover, the two families had been on good terms for generations, so Milton had always shown her respect. But she knew that didn’t mean they were close.
Sigrid struggled to contain her emotions and insisted, “Mrs. Lopez, love can be cultivated. Don’t you agree that we would be a perfect match, considering our family backgrounds, appearances, education, and abilities? Maybe Milton is a workaholic, but I’m sure he will fall in love with me after we get married. Mrs. Lopez, I am confident he’ll love me eventually. I hope you can support me.”
Erica stared at Sigrid and saw herself in her.
