Chapter 471
Lizzie’s expression gradually darkened. She had to admit, she did admire Ferris a little.
But he always gave her the cold shoulder, which
hgreatly liked her.
Other men all fell all over her trying to please her.
Yet Ferris only had eyes for Athena, following her around Hike a lovesick puppy day after day.
Lizzie thought bitterly, “What’s so special about that lowborn wench?
– Just thinking of Athena made Lizzie seethe with anger.
“Come on, let’s head to Breeze Pavilion and indulge ourselves a little, Lizzie said with a smirk.
Ever since Kander had her toy boys rosecuted, Lizzie hadn’t had a man by her side for ages.
Now that the King had arranged a marriage for her, she decided to make the most of her last few days of freedom.
Meanwhile, at McGee residence.
Ferris had been sitting motionless for half an hour, clutching the imperial edict that had seemingly dropped into his lap.
Like a statue carved from stone, his eyes were utterly blank, with only a faint, mocking smile playing at the corners of his lips.
It was unclear whether he was mocking himself or others.
Loretta entered from outside. Seeing Ferris like this, her heart ached for him, and she hurried over.
“Ferris,” Loretta said softly, know you’re hurting. If you need to cry, just let it out.”
Ever since Ferris and Athena parted ways, he had become like a hollow shell of his former sell
His eyes held neither love nor hatred.
It was as if the world around him had faded into insignificance.
Loretta knew the pain Ferris was carrying inside.
Watching her son in such a state tore at her own heart.
But she couldn’t let her tears fall in front of Ferris—he was already going through so much, how could she possibly add to his worries?
“Mother, I’m fine,” Ferris looked up at Lotta with a faint, practiced smile. “It’s time for me to settle down–this is a good thing.”
Loretta said anxiously, “But Princess Lizzie is so capricious and impossible to deal with. What’s more, she even keeps toy boys. If you marry her, wouldn’t you just be..
With Lizzie’s capricious nature, how could she ever settle down and be a proper wife.
Loretta felt sorry for her son
