Chapter 66
There were only five days left until the ball, yet Aiden had not returned to the estate.
As expected, it was taking longer than I had initially anticipated.
Still, not even a single letter? That was a little disappointing. After all, we had spent quite a bit of time together.
I pushed the chocolate cake toward Jane.
“...I’ll gain weight.”
Her words said one thing, but her mouth stretched into a grin that nearly reached her ears.
Resting my chin on the table, I watched Jane eat her cake with delight. It reminded me of the times I used to do this with Aiden.
“So in the end, Sir Lukas will be your escort?”
“Yeah, looks like it.”
As I absentmindedly wiggled my toes in response, Jane, who had been biting her fork, subtly glanced at me.
“Say it.”
Jane immediately beamed and set her fork down.
