Chapter 37: The Night After The Confession

Selma Payne's POV:

Aldrich was stunned and asked me with uncertainty, "Is this a good time? They won't kick me out, will they?"

I couldn't help but laugh out loud. No matter how heroic a person was, they would always be timid when meeting their partner's parents. He might immediately faint from shock if he knew they were my parents.

I waved at him and watched him leave.

When I returned to the palace, I couldn't control my smile. If he had stayed for dinner, we might have been exposed by now, and my parents would have scared him.

My mother kept saying that I looked very good at the dinner table. Perhaps this was the magic of love. I was like a plant that was well-taken care of and relaxed from the inside out. My life was already complete. All the people I loved were by my side, and I was also moving step by step toward my dream. Who would have thought I would be rejected by someone so coldly just a few months ago?
