Chapter 97: First Date
Arabella handed her roses to Aletha to have them placed in a vase in her room so she could keep them with her for a while.
This was such a great development. Ferdinand even knew to give her flowers now. She could hope and expect it would happen again, right?
She loved flowers since she was young so it wouldn’t be bad to receive flowers from her husband every once in a while.
But more importantly, why does Ferdinand look even more dashing under the moonlight? Arabella wondered as she eyed him from head to foot.
Were her eyes playing tricks on her?
Or seeing Ferdinand feeling shy and embarrassed like this was simply that rare so it was too appealing to her?
[Her cheeks are flushed! Does she like the flowers that much? If I had known I would have given her flowers every single day.] Ferdinand thought and Arabella felt her cheeks heat up even more when she realized she was indeed blushing.
She tried to calm herself but Ferdinand kept staring at her so she got even more embarrassed instead.
’What’s wrong with me tonight?! What am I getting so embarrassed for when he always stared too much when he stayed in my room every night?’
"Where will we have dinner? I was surprised to be led here in the garden," she inquired to divert Ferdinand’s attention.
"Oh, my apologies. Allow me to lead you there," Ferdinand offered his hand so he could escort her himself.
