Chapter 27: He is In Love with You
Arabella took a deep breath and straightened her back before she looked Alwin straight in the eye.
"I do still long for Andrew. I still think about my former lover even now, especially when people keep mentioning him. Even if he is already married to someone else, it’s not so easy to forget someone you love. My heart still aches both from the fact, I couldn’t have him and that we are both married to someone else now. Someone once told me, your first love would remain in your heart forever," Arabella said and Alwin grimaced.
It was a lie of course. She doesn’t even care about Andrew now and barely remembered his face. She just wanted to trigger Alwin even more and possibly even Raymond, to think that it would be best if Arabella and Ferdinand gets a divorce.
Aletha who came to serve everyone’s tea turned pale at her words.
[What is milady thinking?! What if they get furious and hurt her? His Majesty would also get insulted by these statements. If they told him about it, what if he punishes milady?]
Aletha was panicking. She looked like she might pass out if she heard Arabella’s next statements so she sent Aletha to retrieve cookies from the kitchen.
’If I was reborn before the wedding, we wouldn’t have to go through these. Maybe, I could have convinced Ferdinand to refrain from marrying me. Or I could have done something so he would have gotten disappointed in me and canceled our engagement and wedding.’ She wondered once again if the gods were toying with her.
"Your Majesty, I have never experienced love and may never will but isn’t it inappropriate to keep treasuring someone who will never be yours when you are already married to His Majesty?" Alwin glared at her despite a warning glare from Raymond for him to stop.
"You truly do not understand what falling in love is like," she said dramatically. "Even if I wanted to forget so easily, I couldn’t. I also wished to forget but my heart won’t let me."
