Chapter 395: Happier Now
I had to say that her innocent and bright reactions didn’t quite match her looks and her voluptuous curvy body.
“Is that so? You must have been very surprised,” I said while thinking of my own reaction when I first heard of the concept of mates or that the prince had wolf genes.
“I was very surprised indeed. I thought he was playing me for a fool until he showed me a little of his transformation. You’ve seen it too, right?” Roxana asked.
I simply nodded my head in response to her question while thinking that I had more than just seen it.
“Well, anyways, that was how he managed to convince me at least about the wolf part of it. I still thought that seeing your fated partner in your dreams was a little bit too far of a stretch, but with you here right now, it just feels like magic,” she said as she pressed the palm of her hands together as if in prayer.
I had no idea that the two of them were that close to the extent that the prince would reveal his secret to her. However, I couldn’t feel anything but a very friendly and positive vibe from roxanna. If anything, she looks genuinely happy for the prince. Frankly, I found it quite amazing that she could maintain such a positive attitude after narrowly escaping death. I wondered if she knew just how serious her condition was, or perhaps she was just that forgiving and understanding.
“Let’s talk more later after you have rested. We have all the time in the world now that you’re feeling better. I’m going to call the doctor back here,” the prince said before he stood up from his seat.
“Sure, I just keep on chatting with Mila in the meantime,” Roxanna said while sounding super energetic.
At first, I felt slightly awkward now that I was alone with Roxanna in her room, but when she started talking to me again I found myself having a very smooth conversation with her. Roxanna seemed like a very honest and open person and that made me feel so at ease. It felt like she could tell that I was curious about her relationship with the prince, because she started telling me quite a few stories about how they met and how their friendship developed.
“What happened?” I asked without any further explanation.
The slightly stunned look on Roxanna’s face told me that she knew what I was referring to. I wanted to know exactly what happened and how she ended up unconscious and lost in deep slumber for so long in this hospital bed.
“They thought we were romantically involved and wanted to implant Prince Leonard’s child inside of me. I wouldn’t go as far to say that I was directly forced, but after hearing the punishment that he might have to go through or how a completely random woman would be forced to carry his child in this experiment if I were to refuse, I thought that it might as well be me...” she said before grinning my way.
