Chapter 402: Confrontation
Fred doesn’t have to apologise.
That’s what she thought at that moment. But when she saw the little blue velvet box in her bag, she had that sinking feeling in her heart once more.
Can I wear the ring now that I cleared my misgiving with Fred?
She opened the box to look at the perfect ring. It still looked so unreal and magical. But the ring still felt heavy for her. That’s what she’s been feeling all these time... heavy!
Why? Do I have more to say to him?
She placed the ring in the pocket of her dress. She’s been carrying this ring around with her all the time for the past four months, wondering when she’d feel ready to wear that ring in her finger.
She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath.
Why isn’t he asking about the ring? By now he should know I am having the ring, right? Ah, even if he asks about this ring, what would I reply? What do I really want? Why am I confused? What am I confused about?
In the dinner table, both of them chatted about mundane things. Arthur told her that his assistant is going to have a shotgun wedding since she became pregnant accidentally. Talia talked about Lambert and Jolene and how is it possible for Jolene to join the family.
"Redheads are going to rule Rosandale Royalty!" Arthur did a victory dance. "It’s time for the gingers to rule the world like we are meant to! Bwaahaahaa!" he laughed like a villain in children’s movies.
"Yes, in a world where there is no harsh sun," Talia giggled. "Both Lambert and I have brown hair. And since you’re a genius in biology, don’t you know the probability that you pass down your gingerness is very low?" Talia gave a mocking smirk. "If redheads want to rule the world, they need to breed more redheads first!" she laughed.
