Chapter 1146

Christopher had chosen his words intentionally.

On one hand, he genuinely admired Dustin. He saw him as a young talent who excelled in both the martial and literary arts and had a promising future.

Not only that, he also had an impeccable character and a pleasant personality.

A young prodigy like him was a rare find in the whole of Dragonmarsh. If only Dustin could become his grandson-in-law, the Murray family would be in good hands.

On the other hand, he had Sheila's well-being in mind. She was a kind-hearted and rather innocent girl who easily fell for deceit.

She needed a strong protector by her side, and Dustin was the best choice.

They were the perfect match.

Sheila stood quietly behind the both of them. Her face was tinged with a blush, reflecting both shyness and anticipation.

She waited for Dustin's response, hoping to hear the answer she desired.

"Thank you for thinking highly of me, General Murray. But an ordinary citizen like me is not worthy of Ms. Murray."
