Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 584 Bees Around Flowers
"They must have something to discuss first." she tried more to console herself than others when they exchanged glances and then looked at her.
Their eyes were full of pity and worry for her. She tried to avoid their face, that felt like it was boring a hole into her skin but in the end, she could not.
"You are thinking way too much, let me prove it to you." She stood up clutching her dress tightly in her hands.
Her eyes were stringing with unshed tears but she would not give up that easily. She was going to fight till the end.
Even she wanted to see who had the courage to take her husband on their engagement day.
She opened the door and under the piercing gaze of the guests, she walked towards Ethan's room.
She could see the frown and scowl on the face of many but she endured all of it. It was only a matter of time, once she would be the woman he loves and marries, they would not be able to raise their head in front of her.
She did not let their mocking gaze affect her but was it really not effective?
As she reached the door and held the knob, her heartbeat turned slow. She struggled for a second before taking a deep breath and then opening the door at once but it was locked.
She tried to push but it did not budge at all. The knock of the door must have caught the attention of many.
Many were still staring at her. She paused. Maybe she should return. What if others see it and are misunderstood?
With that thought, she was about to turn back when she heard the sound of the door.
The door of the room opened, but it was not Ethan who was standing in front of her. It was… the girl from that day!
Her eyes widened and her heart stopped for a second. She kept staring at the person with her eyes widened. She felt like her heart exploded..
All the colors lost her face when she noticed the smudged lipstick on the face of the girl. Her dress was falling to one side.
She looked disheveled yet her face had the smirk of a winner.
She stared hard at the girl with her eyes turning redder.
"Ah, I forgot that you are getting engaged today and took a lot of time, my lord. It must be a bit embarrassing to wait for the groom in his own engagement." she said with a smile as she flicked her hair.
She was enjoying the show. Her eyes were telling that she was having fun of her life but Hannah was not going to fall for the petty tricks.
No! There might be a chance that the girl was putting on a one man show. Even when Ethan didn't love her anymore, he cared a lot about his family. He would not let them suffer this way.
"Leave my way!" The smirk on Amber's face froze and her arrogant eyes cracked when she did not get the expected reaction.
She was waiting for Hannah to slap her or create a scene so that she could call the girl shameless or one with no manners. But with her blank face, it did not look like things were going her way.
"Wait a minute! Where do you think you want to go?" asked Amber, trying to block the way of Hannah.
But she only passed her a cold glance, moved her hands away and walked in. she did not spare a single word on the girl giving her a chance to drag the matter but walked in directly to see Ethan.
There was no one in the room. Many guests were trying to peek into the room and find a way to gossip.
But they were surprised to see the empty room. Could it be that Amber was putting on a show? She did look insulted at the moment.
"Where is Ethan?" asked Hannah turning to Amber who had followed her in the room. The raging and humiliated Amber smiled again.
Her confidence returned when she looked at the scared face of Hannah and mocked her again.
"Oh my! Are you asking me?" she pointed at herself with a mocking gaze on her face, "a stranger to tell you where your fiance is on the day of your engagement?" her eyes twinkled with excitement.
"If they did not know better, they would think that I am his wife while you are just an outsider in our life." she chuckled and then shook her head.
"Why are you so sure that he was in?" she asked with a raised brow.
She was sure if anyone would have been in the palace of Hannah, they would have tried to hide the matter by saying that Ethan was not in the room at the first place and the girl was trying to only put on a show. But Hannah did not do so.
Was she that confident? She waited for Hannah to react but Hannah only scanned the room. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚
She walked patiently to the sofa on the other side and sat there. Her eyes were on the door of the washroom as if she had already sorted out her thoughts.
Amber felt cold water drop on her face. No matter how much she tried to provoke Hannah, Hannah was too calm to her liking.
Up To the limit where Amber felt that she was a crazy clown who was trying to create a scene on her own.
"Hey, did you not hear me? Or you are afraid of talking to me thinking that you would be humiliated if everyone knew the truth. Are you not confident at all?" she provoked Hannah again with a cold laughter when Hannah finally tilted her head and looked at her with a cold look on her face.
"No! It just did not matter to me who you are in his life as long as I am the one getting married to him. After all, which nobles did not have some bees around them?"f𝘳e𝒆w𝗲𝐛𝘯𝐨νe𝚕.co𝓶
