Second Male Lead, You Said It Was A Contract Marriage? (7 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 025

The reason I brought this up isn’t because I found Ember’s behavior unpleasant or because I’m disappointed in Yezar.

Then, what is the reason?

I wanted to ask for your permission before stepping into such a private matter concerning Yezar. The reason I refused Ember’s request was because I believed that tampering with Yezar’s emotions at someone else’s behest shows disrespect toward him.
