Bab 61: CHAPTER 61

EDWINA 

"I am so happy you finally made the right choice, Edwina. You have no idea how elated I was when I heard the news. You've made me proud, my daughter. Congratulations," Father said, a proud smile on his face as we ate. 

I let out an uncomfortable smile.

The dinner just started a few minutes ago, but I felt like it had been hours. My legs ached as usual in the horrible shoes Orion made me wear, and I hated the dress he had sent to my office earlier today.

It was beautiful, something I'd probably have worn if I went shopping myself. But the fact that it was Orion who selected it for me made me abhor it so much, even though I knew it was just a piece of fabric.

Orion gripped my hand under the table, squeezing tightly enough to make it hurt. That was his way of telling me that I wasn't quite doing a great job of selling the facade to my father. 

I yanked my hand away from his and smiled wider.
