Chapter 96: First Bouquet of Roses

"Arabella . . ."

"Hmm," she heard someone call her name so she stirred.

"Arabella, wake up. Dinner's ready," someone touched her cheek.

It was warm and gentle.

Was it Aletha?

"Let me sleep a bit more," Arabella replied lazily and turned to the other side. She wanted to rest a bit more.

"The food will get cold. Wake up. You have to eat dinner first," she felt a kiss on the back of her hand.

Wait, a kiss?!

It wasn't Aletha!

Arabella's eyes finally fluttered open when she realized it was Ferdinand's voice.

"Are you finally awake? Let's go have dinner," Ferdinand's smiling face greeted her.

It was blurry at first since she had just woken up but her vision gradually cleared.

'How long was I asleep?'

She glanced at the window and it was already dark. The moon was already out too. She slept for hours.

Arabella flinched when she realized he was staring at her face too closely.

'Oh my! Why does he look so handsome tonight?'
