“Yes, my lord,”
the guards came over and carried the old girl away. Oriana was still in the palace when Sadie reported in a low voice,
“Your Highness, that old woman is already dead.”
Oriana was not surprised. When she checked her pulse just now, she knew that her death was approaching.
“Did she say anything before she died?”
Sadie shook her head.
“No. But for a moment, Logan thought that the old woman was a little familiar, but the old woman actually didn’t say anything. Oriana wondered if what she said a while ago had awakened the last bit of conscience in the old woman’s heart.
“Have Aunt Annabelle go to the mass grave to collect her body.”
“Okay,”
Sadie quickly retreated. Oriana also planned to leave, but at this moment, she heard the sound of approaching footsteps- Who was it? Oriana quickly heard Clara’s beautiful voice,
“Mr. Armstead, this is my mother, the king’s wife. My mother has long wanted to see you, so she invited you to the palace today.”
Soon, Molly’s voice sounded,
“Mr. Armstead, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
“Thank you.”
Deacon’s unique, low and magnetic voice slowly passed over. Oriana’s eyelashes trembled. She did not expect that Deacon would come to the palace today, and that he had been personally invited by Molly. Since she came to Greenland, Molly had not appeared before of her. It was obvious that she had not attracted enough attention from Molly, but now that Molly had personally invited Deacon, it was enough to show that Molly valued Deacon. Oriana wondered if Molly knew something-
“Mr. Armstead, let’s not stand here and talk. Let’s go in and talk,”
Molly suddenly suggested.
Oriana quickly pushed open the door of a room and hid inside. At this moment, she felt that the three people outside had also walked over. In a hurry, she hid under a coffee table. Deacon, Molly and Clara also came in. Molly said.
“Mr. Armstead, please take a seat. Clara will bring you coffee now.”
In the presence of Molly, Clara still acted like a little child. She shyly stared at Deacon, then obediently went to make coffee for Deacon. Today, Deacon was wearing a black suit that fitted him perfectly. Deacon wanted to sit down, but at this moment, he suddenly noticed a small white dress under the coffee table. Someone was hiding under the coffee table! Deacon stared at the hem of the dress, and his handsome brows were filled with a hint of playfulness.
“Mr. Armstead, please sit here,”
Molly pointed to a seat.
“No need, I’ll just sit here,”
Deacon refused, and sat on the dark red sofa in front of the coffee table. Oriana had been hiding under the coffee table. She didn’t want to reveal herself, but Deacon actually sat over. She raised her bright eyes and saw Deacon’s perfect and impeccable handsome face. Now, Deacon lowered his eyes and looked at her. Their eyes met. Oriana squatted beside his leg, obediently and softly like a cute little puppy. Deacon looked down at her interestedly, like a master, deliberately teasing his ser vant. Oriana was suddenly awestruck. She knew that he must have seen her long ago. At this moment, she was curled up in a small space. She was a little embarrassed, and his long legs were dangling in front of her. The two of them were very close. She felt that her small face had already touched his black trousers. Oriana wanted to retreat, but there was no way she could do so. At this moment, Molly’s voice was heard,
“Mr. Armstead, I’m inviting you over today to talk to you about your relationship with my daughter Clara. President Armstead should know that Clara likes. you very much. It was love at first sight and she really wants to marry Mr. Armstead, and become his wife. I don’t know what your intention towards my daughter is, but does Mr. Armstead likes Clara?”
Ciara was making the coffee. When she heard this, she shyly looked at Molly.
“Mum,”
she called out with a pout. With that, Clara looked at Deacon expectantly, as she awaited his answer. Oriana’s heart ski pped a beat. She did not expect that Molly would be so direct. She coul… marry Clara to Deacon. Oriana raised her face and looked at Deacon. Everyone was waiting for Deacon’s answer. Deacon’s eyes fell on Oriana’s face. She was also waiting for his answer.
Oriana’s eyes darkened. Why didn’t he speak? Did he really plan on marrying Clara? Oriana moved. At this moment, her clear eyes suddenly landed on his trousers. What was she thinking about now? She slowly retracted her head and stayed away from him. Deacon looked at her facial expression, and saw that she seemed afraid. He immediately refused. Oriana’s tense heart quickly relaxed. Clara was looking forward to Deacon’s answer, but she was disappointed by Deacon’s rejection.
“You don’t have to answer me so quickly. As long as CEO Armstead doesn’t have a wife yet, Clara will wait for you.”
Molly swiftly replied. Oriana noticed that Molly was not so happy at Deacon’s rejection. Clara was now the most honorable princess in Greenland. People who wanted her to be their wife, were actually more than hundred. But Molly chose Deacon for Clara. She tried her best to sell Clara to Deacon. Oriana’s clear eyes radiated a bit of sharpness. Molly was from the Mermen race. She had been lurking in Greenland all these years, bewitching Logan. Did she know about Deacon’s background? It seemed that the mermen had intervened between Greenland and Visionary earlier than thought. than she Deacon sat on the dark red sofa. He leaned his straight back elegantly and lazily against the sofa.
“Well, that’s if I decide to get married,”
Deacon’s words were direct and merciless. Molly looked at Deacon. Although she had been rejected, there was a satisfied smile in her eyes. As expected of someone with pure blood, he was indeed extraordinary.
“Mr. Armstead, I still have something to do. I’ll leave now. Clara, make some coffee for President Armstead,”
Molly muttered, and excused herself. Leaving Deacon with Clara.
Clara walked over and looked at Deacon.
“Mr. Armstead, haven’t you forgotten about Oriana? Do you still like her?”
Oriana’s heart skipped a beat when she heard the question. She raised her face and looked at Deacon. Did he still have her in his heart? Deacon’s eyes swept across Oriana’s stunning little face. He didn’t want to talk about her. Oriana’s clear eyes slowly darkened. In fact, she already knew the answer. He and she were already in the past, and there was no going back. Clara walked over and sat beside Deacon.
“Oriana doesn’t like you anymore. I heard that the royal family has already chosen the wedding date. In a few days, Oriana and Liam will be engaged.”
When Oriana listened to Clara’s words, she quickly became nervous, because Clara sat close to Deacon and could see her at any time. At this moment, her vision went dark. It turned out that Deacon had moved. His long legs were now closer, and he directly blocked Oriana in the small corner. This way, Clara wouldn’t be able to see her. But because of this, Oriana curled up into a smaller ball and nestled beside his leg. Their current posture was even more ambiguous, Oriana did not know if Deacon did it on purpose or not. But his cr otch was against her small face. Oriana’s face felt as if it was on fire again. She almost held her breath, not daring to touch him. Although Deacon was talking to Clara, all of his attention was focused on the human hiding beside his leg.
“Princess Oriana and King Liam’s engagement date is so fast. Are they about to get engaged?”
Deacon asked.
“Yes, I heard that this was proposed by Oriana. Oriana really wants to marry Liam,”
Clara replied playfully and innocently. Deacon’s eyes narrowed. Could Oriana not wait to marry Liam? Soon, Deacon slowly drew his thin lips into a playful and dangerous arc. He moved, and his legs moved closer. Oriana had already avoided him on purpose, but suddenly, something stabbed her face. Oriana’s eyelashes trembled widly. What was he doing? Was he crazy? Clara was still sitting beside him, and he was actually acting this way. Oriana quickly placed her small hand on his leg, trying to push him away. However, she couldn’t push him away, Deacon’s legs seemed to contain endless strength. Oriana bit her red lips. She stretched out her hand and pinched him. Deacon had deliberately teased her. She couldn’t wait to marry Liam. A wave of anger rose from his chest, as he played with her. However, he realized that it was him who was suffering in the end. She was right beside his legs, her posture was ambiguous. He did not expect that Oriana would pinch him so hard. It was really painful. Deacon let out a breath and frowned. Clara quickly revealed a puzzled expression, and she asked,
“Mr. Armstead, what’s the matter with you?”
Oriana, who was hiding under the coffee table, quickly stopped her movements. She knew that she would be exposed if she didn’t stay still. At this moment, Deacon’s low and magnetic voice was heard, with a slight smile,
“I don’t know, it looks. like I was bitten by a kitten.”
“Kitten?”
Clara looked around,
“There’s no cat here.”
“Are you sure, Princess Clara? Didn’t you hear the kitten’s meow just now?”
Oriana reasonably suspected that Deacon did it on purpose. He actually told her to meow like a cat.
