Chapter 62: You Look Different
"But, that girl.." Countess Moore did not want to leave after being insulted like this. "She had pushed me. Are we going to leave just like that?" what would be about her image, her position? Would she not be an easy target in the future?
Count Moore hesitated when he met Olivia’s cold eyes. There was a smile on her face yet her eyes were unyielding. He looked away hurriedly.
"Do you not understand urgency, if you want to tarry then return yourself later." Countess Moore was stunned to be scolded in public. No matter how their relationship had been, her husband had always been kind and polite to her in public.
She did not understand what happened but it was all because of her! She glared at Olivia as if she wanted to shred her into pieces. But she could only bite her lips and follow her already leaving husband.
Olivia was stunned. She was prepared for a long argument. But this.."
"Aunt!" Olivia shook the unease and smiled at Abi, squeezing her hand.
"It is alright. You are doing good. Would you like to eat something now?" Abi’s eyes were filled with unshed tears. She was enduring the harsh scolding before but now that she felt the protection and warmth of her aunt, she sniffled and wrapped her tiny hands around her waist.
Olivia felt a stone weighing her chest. What is the use of being a noble if you can not even walk as you wish.
"There, there! Abi is looking so beautiful today. If she cries, others will think she is ugly." Abi paused at once and wiped her face. She looked away and noticed a few guests staring at her. She had forgotten that she was still at the party. Her face flushed and she panicked.
