Chapter 85
The last time I had smiled was on my brother’s engagement day.
When he saw my smile, he had turned pale as if he had seen a ghost.
"Jane, how do I smile naturally?"
"Hmm... Then, Miss, why don’t you try smiling first in front of the Duke, the Duchess, and the Young Master?"
"With this face?"
I had asked with an awkward attempt at twisting my lips into a smile.
I could tell Jane’s bright expression wavered for a moment.
Oh dear, how disappointing.
It seemed I had made no progress at all since that day when Aaron had gone white as a sheet.
If anything, I had taken a step backward, possibly thirty.
Still, despite the brief hesitation, Jane looked at me with unwavering confidence and nodded.
"Yes! And after that, I’m sure you’ll be able to smile naturally as well."
