Chapter 34: Call me Marino
"Do you need a ride to the University?" Sebastian asked, and Elliana looked up before nodding.
No one mentioned what happened last night. However, it was obvious everyone was thinking about it one way or the other.
The usual soft innocent glint in Elliana’s eyes was missing today and was replaced with hints of fear.
The constant smile on her face was nowhere to be seen. Sebastian didn’t like a second of it. It had been a couple of days only, but he was getting used to her smiles now. It almost looked illegal to see her without a smile.
Even Miss Zoya was worried about the princess. Her screams last night horrified her, and she wondered what kind of dream the princess had that left her traumatized to this extent.
Lucas stood in the corner, watching everything with a sigh.
As much as he was happy that Sebastian was stepping closer to Elliana, since last night his caring actions were proof, he didn’t want that to happen at the expense of Princess’s happiness.
"Have you eaten enough?" Sebastian asked after some time, and when Elliana, who was barely eating anything today, didn’t answer him, he stood from his place and forced her to stand, catching her off-guard.
He looked at his watch. There were still a good few minutes before they needed to leave.
Without explaining what he was doing, he picked her in his arms and took her to the terrace before placing her down. Elliana looked at him, unsure of what he was trying to do. If it had been any other time, her heart would’ve already been racing at this time.
His captivating hazel eyes, as he forced her to look at him, made her blink twice as her heart felt content.
