Chapter 309: Tell Me So I Would Understand
Before Lucille and her family could leave, Arabella asked to speak with Lucille alone.
Ferdinand frowned at this and only agreed if both Rendell and Alwin were to be with her. Arabella agreed and so did Lucille.
"Lucille, I did not know you liked Andrew too. However, even if I knew, that doesn’t mean I would have given him to you. It was his choice to be with me, not mine. He pursued me and I fell for him," Arabella narrated to Lucille how Andrew had pursued her for almost a year before Arabella finally agreed to go out with him.
Lucille was shocked since she didn’t know. She thought Andrew had been looking at her all those times after all.
"But I believe you have already gotten over him. Or perhaps trying too. I know it’s hard. It was for me too. But maybe he simply wasn’t the one meant for you. I wish you can also find happiness with someone who truly loves you," Arabella wanted to settle this once and for all.
"Thank you. But I don’t need your consolation," Lucille bit her lip. Alwin frowned and Arabella gave him a sign to calm down.
"I know. That wasn’t why I asked you to be here. But I wonder, it seems you have been too focused on me that you did not even notice people who treasure you much more than you think."
"I don’t have anyone like that. You are blessed to have parents who adore you and a husband who seems to worship you," Lucille was bitter.
"I once thought my parents sold me to the worst man in Eliora. Who in their right mind would give their daughter as the wife of the Dark Emperor? I once thought they were so selfish and crazy. I hated them all for a long time. But one day, I realized I was wrong. And my husband who was said to be nothing but a murderer was actually kind and gentle to me. My reasons had their own reasons to have married me off to Valeria as well."
