An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori 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.” Dustin declined while shaking his head.

“Kid, I know who you are, so it’s pointless to put it that way. I just want to know if you have any feelings

for Sheila,” Christopher asked again.

“General Murray, we’re just friends. That’s all,” Dustin replied decisively. Just friends? Christopher

frowned slightly.

Why did it sound awkward? Didn’t Dustin say he saw her as a sister? Why did he make it sound so

distant now? Sheila’s face stiffened when she heard that. She was disappointed.

“Kid, why don’t you reconsider?” Christopher was reluctant to admit defeat. He put down his pride for

the sake of his granddaughter’s happiness.

“General Murray, some things are best not forced.” Dustin shook his head again, his gaze resolute.

Christopher sighed. “Alright, alright. I won’t interfere in the affairs of you young people,” he conceded.

“General Murray, I believe I’m not needed here any longer. I will take my leave now.” Dustin respectfully

bid his farewell and prepared to depart.

“Dustin…” Sheila couldn’t help but call out to him.

“Hmm?” Dustin turned around, confused.

He asked, “What is it, Ms. Murray?” “Dustin, I’m really sorry for the misunderstanding. Please accept

my sincere apology.” Looking down, Sheila appeared remorseful.

“Ms. Murray, you did nothing wrong. I’ve never put the blame on you. So you don’t have to apologize.”

Dustin shook his head.

It didn’t matter who was right or wrong; it was only a matter of trust. Sheila had made her decision, and

he had no reason to feel dissatisfied.

“Will we see each other again?” Sheila gripped the corner of her shirt, feeling nervous and hopeful.

Dustin appeared polite and courteous. However, for some reason, he felt distant. He used to call her

Sheila, but he now addressed her as Ms. Murray. It showed just how much distance had grown

between them.

“We will meet again if fate allows it. Goodbye.” With a faint smile, Dustin walked straight out of the

Murray residence.

“Dustin… .” Sheila felt empty as she watched him leave. It was as if something important was slowly

slipping away.

“What happened between you two?” Christopher’s curiosity got the better of him.

“I…” Sheila hesitated. Finally, she decided to briefly recount the situation. Christopher was exasperated

after hearing her story. “How can you be so foolish? Can’t you distinguish right from wrong?

“You believed the slander those Scoundrels spewed but confronted the one who helped you? Y-You …

You’re going to drive me mad!”

“Grandpa, I know I was wrong. Can you help me?” Sheila asked weakly.
