Chapter 66: Wedding Dress Play
Lucien led me to the upper most floor of the boutique where a couple of staffs were waiting for us. The floor was packed with breathtakingly beautiful wedding dresses and to one side there was a dressing room. So, are we here to pick out more dresses for Angela?
“Please leave us alone. I would like to have private time with my daughter. Don’t worry about trying on the dresses, we will somehow manage,” Lucien told the staff casually.
After glancing at each other nervously for a bit, the staffs readily agreed to leave Lucien and I alone.
“Who’s trying on dresses? Me?” I asked curiously as I pointed a finger at myself. I mean, these are all wedding dresses and I’m the only girl left standing in this room.
“Yes...please try on some wedding dresses. This is the sole reason I’m here today,” Lucien answered as he came closer and placed his hands on my shoulders.
“Sorry, I don’t quite follow. The latest I checked, I am not marrying anyone...anytime soon,” I replied as I slowly shook my head in confusion. My guards are up now. Am I going to get married off now that Lucien is getting married?
“You’re right...but someday soon...” Lucien whispered in a soft and sensual voice in my ear. Someday soon...what? Is he saying that he wants me to marry some random guy some day soon?
“Are you planning to arrange a marriage for me? Are you going to marry me off?” I asked in anger.
“Never. I will never do that. However, I hope that one day you will choose a man of your own...” Lucien replied as he kissed me on the forehead softly.
I hope with all my heart that one day when all this is over, you will choose to marry me, Lucien said silently in his own head as he stared at Natalia’s anger-filled face.
“...I see,” I replied with a mix of relief and disappointment. Well, since Lucien is on the verge of marrying Angela, it is obvious that he does not want to marry me.
