"Elizabeth Aitken!"
Jake Leaford's urgent voice rang out.
Elizabeth stopped in her tracks, and Jake quickly walked up and grabbed her hand, his eyes firm: "I've cut ties with my family, and now I'm just an ordinary person, not the Leaford family's young master, and I have no family business to inherit. Would you...give me another chance?"
Cut ties?
Elizabeth stared at him blankly.
As if afraid she wouldn't believe him, Jake showed her the messages between him and his family on his cell phone: "Look, I've even returned my credit and bank cards to them. Now I'm just like you, an ordinary worker. We can be a pair of ordinary lovers, not affected by family relationships."
She never thought he would actually cut ties with his family, and Elizabeth was shocked.
"But what about your arranged marriage with someone else... Will your family let you off the hook?"
