Chapter 286: Eyes Only For Elijah

Arianna felt a stuffiness in her chest but she brushed it away as nothing. The news took her by surprise, that's all.

"That is unexpected." She breathed, still finding that hard to believe. Her gaze flickered down to his fingers to see there was no ring there and Marcel knew that because their gaze collided afterward.

"I'll take it that you're not in support of the marriage. You don't look exactly happy." She said to him, But deep down inside, Arianna was relieved. Although, she was never going to admit that. 

"Should I be happy?" He asked that strange question more to himself. 

"I would be."

His brows raised.

Arianna understood the misunderstanding there and quickly corrected it, "That is, if I were getting married to the love of my life." She confessed, while fanning her face. Gosh, why was this place suddenly hot?

"The love of your life, huh?" Marcel muttered, staring down and drawing God knows what on the floor.
