Kapitel 113: Chapter 149 - Estelle stabbed Zeph's eyes.

"Will he accept me as his wife?"

Valeriana gazed at Zeph, her thoughts muddled with confusion over whether he would accept her or not. The woman standing beside her offered a faint smile.

"He'd be an idiot not to accept my dear niece," Deventhia remarked teasingly, tapping Valeriana's forehead playfully.

In that moment of contact, Valeriana looked at Deventhia blankly, but her aunt's attention shifted as the golden-eyed boy's gaze met hers. "And, I don't think he is an idiot."

Pursing her lips, Valeriana tried to decipher her aunt's words before turning to her. "Aunt, you're teasing me, aren't you?"

"Am I?" Deventhia feigned ignorance, tilting her head while observing Valeriana.

"Then, is he interested in me?" Valeriana fell for her aunt's playful banter once more, genuinely seeking clarification.
