Chapitre 174: Chapter 174

"I cannot believe that you are the daughter of a lord. All this time you had this awaiting you," Alexander said, trying to wrap his head around Rose's new status. "Mathias would lose his mind if he knew this. He might run far away to hide."

"I'm sure he would. Are you two still close?" Rose asked, curious about the state of their friendship.

"Right now, we are not like brothers. I am disappointed with his actions of kicking you and then he knew where you had been all along. I have some things to be disappointed by when it comes to me. I have much to apologise to you for. I failed you," Alexander admitted.

"I have already told you that I am not angry you did not come to get me. I made that promise to a boy. There wasn't anything you could do for me or yourself. As I grew older, I knew not to expect anything. I am free now so we can forget about it," said Rose, desperately wanting to move on.
