Chapter 296: On Fire
Dani couldn’t help but feel a bit tense as she stared at Abel’s hand currently holding hers. After her wedding to the man, she got so drunk that she didn’t even know what happened next. Thankfully, she was pretty sure that nothing happened between them since she didn’t feel something weird on her body by the time she woke up.
After all of that, they promptly spent another day in their manor, but neither of them had time to be alone together. Instead, her brother Atlas ended up hogging Abel all to himself while she spent most of her time with her parents.
Thinking about it now, she unknowingly smiled as she recalled Atlas’s reason that she and Abel would have more than enough time to spend together during their honeymoon once they went back to Valcrez. Meanwhile, her time with him and her parents was limited, so she should supposedly spend it with her family. For some reason though, she felt like her brother was being too petty. He was practically bullying Abel when she last saw him.
Deep in thought, she turned to Abel and asked, "How come you let my brother bully you?"
"It’s fine. I think Atlas is simply testing my patience while getting to know me more," Atlas chuckled as he waved her off. "Although, I have a feeling that he intentionally dragged me off to sleep with him because he’s actually scared of Ezme."
"Huh?" Dani snorted. Princess Ezme seemed like a fine lady to her. "Why would he be scared of his future wife?"
"Oh, haven’t you heard how stubborn and playful that brat can be? She has quite a reputation here," Abel noted before letting off a devious smile. "But anyway, enough with them. Let’s focus on each other now that we finally have our privacy..."
Dani gulped. "But I haven’t answered you yet."
It was true, after all. She still hadn’t given him a response when he proposed that they stop their agreement and make their marriage a reality. Her husband didn’t push the topic ever since though, and she was honestly glad that he wasn’t bringing it up for her sake.
