Chapter 155: Change Of Heart
"The red dress looks stunning on you!" too stunning to gain the attention of the crowd. But Olivia could hardly see it. Her eyes fixated on her hand. It felt like it was scalded by the touch. Her mind buzzed. Why did she not stop her?
"Because he was too fast!" The maids paused and looked at her questioningly. Heat crept up to her face to the tip of her ears.
"My lady, you are lucky!" the maid realized her actions and sighed. Though they were fawning on Olivia, they knew her for a decade, so they were open to her.
"Think about it! Her grace had tormented my lord so much. Yet he is giving you a chance. He treats the kids well too. I heard that he had warned every knight and personally met lady Maybeline to make sure that the kids were taught well.
If her duchess had been here, you would have asked her to let the young lady ride too. Would she have accepted this easily?" she would not! Olivia knew the answer.
She had noticed his strange behavior too. But to think that he was attracted to her? It was hard to believe.
She stared at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were covered with dark circles and her face had small freckles on her face. She did not look like those pampered nobles with flawless skin. Her hand was full of calluses.
And... wait! What was she even thinking? She stood up abruptly surpassing the maids.
"Leave!" their maids were shocked. They did not dare to move.
