Chapter 1551

[ 600 words ]

At long last, they could get a decent night’s sleep, but they were short on rooms.

Rory and Jace James were actually used to sharing a room while on the road, so they didn’t mind.

However, Dane didn’t take advantage of the situation.

He opted to share a room with Jace, leaving Claire and Rory to take the other.

Rory genuinely hadn’t expected the Clan Successor’s future husband to be such a perfect gentleman.

“I can’t believe Mr. Green didn’t use this as an excuse to demand a room with the Clan Successor.”

Once inside their room, Rory chuckled and muttered to herself.

Claire let out a helpless sigh. “Even if there was only one room left, he wouldn’t try anything.”

She had absolute faith in Dane’s character.

He was definitely not the type to exploit a vulnerable situation.

Rory nodded with exaggerated seriousness. “Then your fiancé is actually pretty decent.”

“Right? Otherwise, I wouldn’t have agreed to the engagement,” Claire said with a smile.

Dane ticked all the boxes; there was really no reason not to like him.

“Why do I get the feeling you two came on this trip for more than just my protection? Did you have another mission?”

Claire asked curiously.

“Yep, we also wanted to vet your fiancé,” Rory admitted without a hint of secrecy.

After all, the Clan Successor would one day take the helm of The James Family, and in modern society, brawn alone wasn’t enough; brains were essential.

None of them wanted the next leader to run the family into the ground, so a proper evaluation was naturally required.

Vetting the Clan Successor’s future husband was their top priority.

The old clan leader had chosen poorly in love and remained tragically alone, leaving the entire village feeling fiercely protective of her.

“So, what’s your verdict on him?”

Claire was quite confident in Dane.

As far as she was concerned, if Dane didn’t make the cut, there probably wasn’t anyone else in the world who would.

Rory threw her hands up. “He seems alright for now. Passable.”

Claire burst into laughter. “Your standards are just too high.”

“If you asked anyone else, they’d swear there’s no one better than him.”

It wasn’t that Rory’s standards were impossibly high; she just viewed

in the family’s most precious

treasure.

Naturally, she felt no one was truly worthy of her.

“Rory, with standards like that, you might never find anyone you actually like.”

Rory curled her lip. “No big deal if I don’t. When Jace has kids, I’ll just adopt one of his and raise it.”

Claire paused. “…Does Jace know about this plan of yours?”

“Of

itot! He’d never agree to

it.” Rory just didn’t want the hassle of marriage and wasn’t stupid.

Claire countered, “What if Jace feels exactly the same way you do?”

“Then may the best person win.”

Rory’s eyes glinted as she suddenly turned her scheming gaze on Claire.

“Clan Successor, you and Mr. Green have such incredible genetics. Why don’t you two just have a bunch of kids?”

“You can spare one for me, and I’ll train them for you!”

“I promise I’ll raise them to be perfectly healthy and strong!”

Claire was genuinely taken aback by how brazen Rory’s ideas were.

“I can’t promise you that. Why don’t you go ask Mr. Green and see what he says?”

Even though Rory was fearless, she had a strong survival instinct.

Dane clearly wasn’t someone to mess with.

Back in The Aila Highlands, it was obvious that his combat skills were top-tier.

The two bodyguards he had under him were even more formidable.

While she couldn’t guarantee they were stronger than her and Jace they definitely had vastly more

real world experience than the two fresh-faced

“Content”

Therefore, Rory wasn’t quite foolish enough to poke the bear.

“Never mind. I’ll just stick by your side and help you watch your kids, okay?”
