Chapter 338-The Awkward Ceremony
Helanie:
"That is creepy. Why does she want to come to the ceremony?" The horrified look remained on my mother’s face throughout breakfast until she finally spoke up while leaving the room with Lord McQuoid.
I caught the gist of it, and it confused me a little. She was actually right. It was weird for an ex-mate to invite herself to her ex-mate’s engagement ceremony.
"Helanie!" Charlotte cleared her throat, her fork hitting the plate hard. "You should start preparing for my engagement ceremony too. It will happen very soon." There was a strange mockery in her voice, though a smile remained on her lips.
"Of course, I will be preparing it myself since I will be the happiest to watch you go," I rolled my eyes before getting up from the chair. Emmet and the others had already left.
Charlotte grunted but didn’t argue since there were many people around today. The mansion was being decorated for the beautiful ceremony, and the venue was the mansion’s royal garden.
I stayed in my room for the rest of the day. I would occasionally check my phone to see if Maximus had responded. Nope! He had not.
And then, after hours of not hearing from him, I heard his laughter from outside my room and couldn’t help but peek out. He was now standing on the porch with Norman, holding a cup of coffee and sharing a good laugh with him.
It was a clear reminder to me that he wasn’t affected by my rejection. I just wished he had shown some resentment. But I guess it was true—he didn’t care at all.
