WHEN NEOMA's initial shock by Jasper Hawthorne's marriage proposal disappeared, she realized that Jasper oppa referred to her as 'Neoma Ramsay.' It was an identity that she would often use when she was sneaking out of the palace. Her oppa knew that, so there must be a reason why he proposed to her alter-ego.
[But thank goodness oppa "proposed" when Lewis isn't here.]
Lewis went out to fetch Hanna. The vice-captain of the Quinzels' private army would escort her cousin personally. But she still sent Lewis to fetch Hanna to be safe, and her "son" obliged.
[I don't want my "son" to panic and report to my father about oppa's "proposal."]
After all, she had a feeling that there was a reason behind that.
Her big brain could only come up with one explanation.
"Jasper oppa, are the vassal families under your household pressuring you to get married already?" Neoma asked carefully. "Is that why you proposed to me?"
