Chapter 373: Surfacing Proof Of Life
"You’re such a fool, Fred!" Talia kicked Arthur in the leg while no one was watching and walked away as Roderick and Emily were laughing behind her.
The entire hall was filled with a pleasant music and the chatters of the guests. As it was a party arranged in the Oakley Castle after a long time, many were very pleased they were invited and they all were socialising among themselves to make connections.
Stupid Fred! Why did he go and ask Roderick about the ’one year lie’ I told him? Can’t he use his common sense? Ugh! Now my future brother-in-law and his wife are mocking me! Dummy Fred! Idiot Fred!
How could he walk up to his brother and ask ’Can you revert back to being a v*rgin if you don’t make love for a year’? Is he that dumb? And now they are thinking that I’m a naive idiot. Idiot!
"Don’t glare at me!" Talia mouthed seeing Arthur staring at her while talking to someone greeting him. She turned her back to him and walked across the hall, greeting the guests and toasting with wine.
The McAllister family had attended the party and Talia could see they were getting ostracised. Since Marcella was with Archibald and Vivian with Cyril, people were being sycophantic with them, but they ignored Elizabeth, her husband, Jordan and their parents. Talia noted it and happily chatted with them for a while. As expected a crowd formed around her and she left after a while.
"You don’t have to do this, Talia. My parents won’t like getting acquainted with these sycophants." Elizabeth grumbled and her husband rubbed her back and calmed her down.
"It is not bad to get acquainted with more people. You should be thanking Her Highness for helping them and not grumble," he said calmly.
Elizabeth still was complaining while Mr. Greene calmed her down. This was the first time Talia is meeting Elizabeth’s husband and Talia realised something.
He gives the same aura as Cyrus! Even the intonation of his voice is pretty similar to Cyrus’.
Talia liked him instantly. He was very gentle with her even though she was acting loud while downing alcohol like water. Talia won’t consider her an expert on reading expressions, but their interactions gave her the impression that her husband loves her more than she loves him.
