Chapter 22: My Bride
Last night, she was confused about what to tell Lizzy about Leon. And, last night, she had told her best friend that Leon was her relative from the capital.
Now, she was afraid that Sir Leon would disagree with her idea. She decided to ask him first. Maybe he had a better idea.
"Say it..."
"I just want to know how to address you before my friends—" Allynna asked while looking at him. But what she did was completely wrong because when their eyes met, she felt her heartbeat start to beat faster, and she could feel that her cheeks felt warm.
She quickly turned forward, avoiding the gaze that always seemed to put her under his spell.
After a few seconds of silence, Leon replied to her question. "Tell them the truth. You don’t need to hide anything."
Allynna was stunned hearing his answer. Her eyes widened when she saw him again, "But isn’t that too weird!? I mean, we..."
"Why?"
"Can we keep our relationship in secret? At least for now." How could she tell her friends that she would get married to a man she had only met once?
