The moment the old gentleman finished speaking, Nathan Bennett couldn't help but frown.
He wanted to say he wasn't that much of a beast, but—
When he'd met Zoe Rhodes, she had indeed still been a little kid.
"..."
Nathan Bennett raised a hand, his face expressionless, and adjusted the frame of his glasses.
"She's an adult now."
Hearing this, the old gentleman couldn't help but close his eyes and mutter a few lines from the Heart Clarity Spell.
This youngest son of his was wonderful in every way, except when it came to matters of the heart—then he was just clueless.
'Sigh. Oh, well.'
For years, Nathan Bennett had been completely absorbed in his career and hadn't dated since he was a student. It wasn't easy for him to find a girl he liked, one who actually suited him.
'Besides... she's an adult now.'
'It's fine. It's fine.'
