Chapter 271: Not his fault
An unusual silence broke between both of them. Abrielle could sense that Sebastian had something to say on his mind, but he was restraining himself from speaking.
The music was still playing in the background while she admired the moon that would be full in a few days from now.
"Is Cedric the problem ?" Sebastian finally asked, breaking the silence. Abrielle sighed then shook her head. It was hard to say the problem here was Cedric. Honestly, despite being a horrible person as she described in the novel and being destined to kill her, he has not done anything except act the way she wrote him.
"Things have been tense between you two. Your mother didn’t seem to believe my claims of him being a nice person. At least, that’s what she tells my mother." Sebastian answered, he was genuinely curious about the roses in Abrielle’s possession. He could not ask because she did not seem comfortable about that.
"Mother doesn’t like a lot of people and Cedric is among them. There isn’t much to think about honestly." Abrielle shrugged off not wanting to dwell on the topic too much. Despite her expression being calm her mind was in chaos. She has roughly 2 days left.
"That sounds like Aunt Rebecca. The only person she didn’t seem to hate was Adeline’s husband. At least he was good enough to be an in-law of the Nightshades." Sebastian chuckled; Abrielle had a wary smile, knowing the reason Rebecca sang praises of the foreign prince was to convince Ava to marry off Adeline in Abrielle’s place.
At that point the only good match Rebecca could think for her daughter was Lucian. This was funny because Abrielle didn’t want to imagine how messed up her life would have been if she had been married to the male lead.
Her faith might have been worse; Lucian was going to hate her, that was for sure.
"I don’t even know what the problem is. I want to ask a question. Not related to me just out of curiosity." Abrielle asked Sebastian, who sat quietly by her side. Sebastian’s blue eyes narrowed at Abrielle. He was certain what she wanted to ask was very much related to her.
