About thirty minutes earlier, after Mabel told Armstrong to leave, he became upset and left her house. He got into his car and began driving back to the hospital but halfway he stopped and said to himself, "No, I won't leave without telling Mabel how I feel about her. I will make sure she knows the truth. She needs to know that I want her and if she doesn't want me, then it's fine. I will just have to move on." After making up his mind, he reversed his car and drove back to her street. He was surprised to see Kelvin driving off, but Mabel was not in his car. Why did Mabel tell him to leave and claim she wanted to go with Kelvin? He wondered. He quickly parked his car and walked to her house. When he knocked on the door, she opened it and stared at him in surprise, "You? I thought I told you to leave...." "Well, I came back," he replied. She was staring at him in surprise and her eyes were watery. He moved very close to her, held her face, and kissed her. However, she pulled awa

Bastian smiled and went to sit on the bed while Amy turned and faced him angrily. He said, "Fine, I know you will not believe me. I don't blame you. My past isn't exactly nice." "Really?" Amy asked. "So wait, are you trying to tell me that you've changed?" "Isn't it obvious?" Bastian asked. "No, it isn't," Amy replied. "Come on, Amy. You can't say that you haven't seen some changes in me. I mean, the Bastian of before wouldn't go around chasing you and begging you. Yes, I'm not proud of who I was. I was a jerk, and I admit that. But I am a changed man, Amy. To be very honest, after you left, I realized how important you were to me. I didn't want to tell you all this until you've forgiven me, but I think it's important for me to say it now so you'll understand why I cannot give up on you no matter what. After you left, at first, I thought it was my desire to keep you back and torture you that drove me to search for you. But eventually, I realized that it was much more than that

After leaving Amy's hotel, Bastian decided to go back to his palace. He had been away for a while, and he also realized that Amy needed time to get over her anger. On his way back to the palace, he kept remembering how he bared his heart out to Amy and told her how he felt. The way she reacted deeply hurt him because it was the first time he had ever opened up to any woman in his life. But then again, he knew that he was the reason why Amy acted that way. If he hadn't treated her so badly in the past, she would not have reacted the way she did.Despite the fact that he was leaving, he gave instructions to some of his guards and said, "Keep an eye on Amy and on everything she does. No matter what happens, report it to me." He wanted to give her the opportunity to get the space she wanted, but he was determined not to give up on her. When he arrived home, he hired some men and instructed, "I need you to find someone for me. Her name is Ann. I'll send you her pictures and all the infor

Armstrong stared at Mabel and nodded, "Okay, Amy is your senior, but do you think she will not be okay with the idea?"Mabel sighed, "Even I feel uncomfortable taking money from you.""But why?" Armstrong asked. "A lot of girls out there do it.""I am not a lot of girls," Mabel replied. "The money Amy gave to us, she got it as a wedding gift from the king, that was why she took it. And as I said, if I want to, I can spend money from there, but I don't know how much it will cost me to complete college and I don't want to end up lacking when I'm close to the finish line. It's the same with my sisters. This is why we all still try to live simple and content lives. Amy hasn't even begun college. The plan was to get a divorce from Bastian before coming back, because if she went to college as Bastian's wife, she will have to follow some rules. I think she'll have to be homeschooled or something like that.""I understand everything," Armstrong said. "I just feel that it's too stressful for

Mabel stared at Armstrong in surprise. The last thing she had expected was that Armstrong would want to marry her when their relationship was barely a month old. Although, she had come to understand his character, marriage? She didn't think she'd get married at this young age. She knew Armstrong wasn't like Bastian, so she wasn't afraid that she would suffer like her sister. However, she was excited and afraid at the same time.Armstrong was on his knees, waiting for her answer. When he saw that she was hesitating, he suddenly became afraid and began to wonder if he made the move too early. He had wanted to settle down two years ago, but after his fiancée cheated on him, he gave up on the idea. After meeting Mabel and falling in love with her, he was convinced that she was the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. Now that she had accepted to be his girlfriend, he didn't want to waste any more time. He wanted to do it right away, which was why he proposed to her. Being
