Armstrong gasped when Mabel opened her eyes. He thought she would be upset that his face was so close to hers while she was sleeping. If she accused him of trying to take advantage of her, it would cause a strain on their friendship because she would not want to have anything to do with him. However, Mabel just stared at him without a reaction.In the end, Armstrong turned his face away and coughed before saying, "I was just trying to adjust your head so you don't break your neck."Seeing that Mabel was still staring at him, he continued, "When I came out of the bathroom, you were already asleep so I brought you in here to make you more comfortable. This is one of my guest rooms."Mabel finally smiled in embarrassment and sat upright, "I'm sorry I slept off. I must have been exhausted because I drank too much last night." In reality, after opening her eyes, Mabel had found herself mesmerized by Armstrong's eyes.She could not understand why it took her so long to realize that he was t
Ivy stared at her reflection in the mirror and smiled. She believed she looked beautiful enough for her date with Charles. As she left her room and locked the door, she noticed Ann entering the head maid's room. Ivy ignored her and continued on her way out of the palace.The head maid noticed that Ann was sad and asked, "What's the matter? Isn't everything going according to plan?" Ann shook her head, "No, Mom, things are not going according to plan.The last time I spoke to Prince Bastian, he told me he had found Amy and was bringing her home, but it's been days, and I haven't heard anything. He hardly picks up my calls. I don't understand what's going on. Now that he's found Amy, he shouldn't be restless anymore, right?"The head maid paused for a moment and said, "In that case, call him." Ann sighed, "Mom, I just told you he doesn't take my calls, and you are telling me to call him."The head maid repeated, "Call him, my dear." Ann took out her phone and dialed Bastian's number
"You're welcome," Ivy said to Charles as they parted ways for the night. "See you tomorrow and goodnight." When she tried to open the door, Charles stopped her and said, "Hold on, what about my good night kiss?" She smiled shyly and turned to kiss him, but he cupped her face and passionately kissed her. After a while, he let her go and said, "I'll help you take the gifts inside.""There's no need for you to do that," Ivy refused, but he insisted. "I want to help you take the gifts inside." Eventually, Ivy gave in. Charles carried all the bags, and together they walked into the palace. He escorted her to her room, placed the gifts inside, and reminded her to get her hair done early tomorrow. "I'll really love to see it when I come to pick you up," he said. Ivy nodded and said, "Goodbye, Charles."As she watched him leave, Ivy smiled in contentment and looked at the card he had given her. "So this is what it feels like to have such an amazing boyfriend," she thought. "Oh Charles, yo
Mabel went inside the room to speak with Maria. She noticed that Maria still had a frown on her face and asked, "What is the problem, dear?" Maria pretended to smile and replied, "Nothing, I just don't feel too good." "Are you sick? Are you in pain anywhere?" Mabel inquired. Maria shook her head and said, "No, I'm fine. Go and be with your guest. Don't let him be all by himself." Mabel nodded, "Alright." She left the room and went back to meet Armstrong. He got up the moment he saw her and said, "Okay, now I've dropped off what I came to give you. I have to leave for my meeting, but I will pick you up later in the evening, so we can go together to the party, okay?" Mabel nodded, "Okay, thank you very much for the clothes." "Anytime," Armstrong replied.She escorted him out of the house, and when he got outside, he said, "I think the red gown would look very good on you. You can try them all, but I prefer that one." Mabel smiled and waved him goodbye before going into the house
Amy pulled her body away from Bastian's hold and pushed him back a little bit. "What more do you want me to do?" Bastian asked. "I have done what you wanted. I have sent Ann, her mother, and everyone else who hurt you away. Tell me if there's something else I can do. I will do anything. Please, just give me another chance." Amy scoffed, but he continued, "Okay, let's start over. Let's bury the past. I will treat you better. I will respect you. I promise you that this time, I will make you happy." Amy smiled. "That sounds like a good idea, actually.""Really?" Bastian asked. She nodded. "Really. I will assume that I just met you. It's just like when you meet a girl for the first time, and you like her. You'll want to woo her, isn't it?" "Ummm, yea, I guess," said Bastian. "Okay, so you have to do your best to impress me," Amy replied. "Work hard, and I'll see if you're worthy of my attention. For now, I'm going to the supermarket, so please get out of my way." Bastian stood star
Armstrong drove Mabel and parked by the street that led to her house. As she held the handle of the door to open it, he said, "Hold on, Mabel, about the kiss we shared, I want to apologize. I was acting, but for a while, I forgot that we were acting, and I got out of character. I let myself get carried away, and that wasn't part of the plan. I guess since I haven't been with a girl for a while and I've been celibate and, umm, being a man, I, well, you know about urges..." "It's fine," Mabel said. "Trust me, Armstrong, I am not upset. You have done so much for me already that I do not even know how to thank you. I didn't feel bad at all. To be honest. I was hurt when I saw Kelvin being all lovey-dovey with Rachel on the dance floor, but after what you did, I felt so much better. I mean, seeing the effect it had on him and how upset he was, and seeing how it also affected Rachel that she even said, 'I am done, you can have him,' I felt very happy, and that was all thanks to you. For
Charles ran after Ivy, calling her name and begging her to stop. She ignored him, ran out of his gate, and began running to the bus stop. He got into his car and drove after her. When he got to where she was, he said, "Listen, Ivy, please stop." But she ignored him. He kept asking her to stop, but she kept ignoring him until she saw a taxi. She decided to take a taxi instead. She got into the taxi and told the driver to take her to her address. When they got to the palace, she came out of the cab, paid her fare, and tried to rush into the palace. However, Charles caught up with her and wrapped his arms around her from behind, saying, "Please listen to me, Ivy, please." She turned and pushed him, saying, "Let me go, don't do this to me anymore, Charles. You've really hurt me." Charles went on his knees and began to beg, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, Ivy. Please just listen to me. I'll explain everything. I'll tell you everything that happened from the start. Please don't walk away
After being kicked out by Amy the previous day, Bastian got ready the next morning, went to a florist's shop, and got a bouquet for her. He knew the time she usually left for the market and was determined to woo her and play by her rules. As Amy opened her door to leave with her cousin, Tina behind her, she saw Bastian standing in front of the door with a bouquet in his hand. She scoffed, "What is the meaning of this? Are you so jobless that you'll sleep in your house and wake up in mine?" Bastian smiled, "Good morning to you, Amy. Hi, Tina." "Good morning, Prince Bastian," Tina replied before turning. She stared at Amy and said, "See you later at the market." However, Amy held her back, "No, wait for me. Let's go together." Amy quickly evaded Bastian and began to walk away, but Bastian followed behind and said, "Hold on, Amy. I have something to say to you. I got flowers for you."Amy ignored him and kept walking until she got to where she would take the bus. Bastian hurried t
