25 Chapter 25. Anxious for the sigh (2/2)

Evan saw her astonished look and muttered in his heart, she was too young back then, so she must have forgot it.Of course, he couldn't himself claim that she held onto him while sleeping and the worst part was, the opposite party doesn't even remember. So he decided to divert her attention.

”Go and change into it. It's a gift for you”, he told her trying to drift her attention to other and on this process he let the rat out of his bag and announced that he bought this dress for her. A crease formed at the end of his eyes noticing he admitted something he didn't want to. It felt embarrassing to admit himself

Aeinshia's lips immediately curled up when she heard him, but she wanted to reassure herself, ”Is this DRESS really for me? ”, she asked in a serious tone and gave a huge emphasis on the term 'DRESS'.

Evan didn't respond to her question. It was already hard for this cold prince to accept he bought the dress for once and there she goes, asking him again even after hearing him clearlyclearly just to please her ears.

Aeinshia raised her eyesbrows meet his and saw his serious look. 'I am not in the mood to joke around', was written all over his handsome face. That's true, even though he looked angry, he looked so handsome with those exquisite features of his.

Don't take him wrong. Prince Evan loved Aeinshia very dearly. More than everyone in this world. And certainly more than anyone could imagine. But, he can't do everything she expects him to do. His pride and insecurities were huge. He also wanted to express feelings but, the little voice in the back of his head always stopped him. It cold hearted prince image was his defense mechanism. He simply didn't want to admit feelings though, he never seemed to bother but, displaying it publicly.

He was simply like the bread that Seazle empire was well known of. A hard bread with sweet filling. Some effort is needed to crack the hard bread outside before you enjoy the sweetness. And once the sweetness is unlocked you don't care about the hard bread. As they say, the kingdom and everything surely represents the people who run it.

He immediately guided her into the room indicating her to change the dress and went out of the room.

Aeinshia saw him to leave and went to lock the door.

Though he felt bad for pushing her and was worried about what she might be thinking about him, he was standing out there as curious and expectant as ever, waiting for her to see in the dress, the scene which he dreamed of numerous times and now, one of his numerous dreams was becoming true. He should only wait few more minutes to watch how she looked wearing this dress. His expectations got very high with each passing second and with each passing minute.

This is the second time in his life waiting for someone. The first time was when he came back to his kingdom Seazle . He was unable to contain himself at the though of seeing and meeting Aeinshia after 6 long years. He missed her each single day when he studied in City Valencia. He wrote many letters for her whenever he missed her intensely and waited for the day to meet her and give those letters to her after confessing to her.

And now, for the second time he was waiting for the same person, outside of his room.

While Evan was becoming anxious with each passing breath, Aeinshia, inside his room stared blankly at front of the dressing table holding onto the dress.

She didn't notice it before, but on a deeper look, the dress has a same color as her eyes. A slight smile replaced her thin lips looking at herself in the mirror with the dress on her hand. It looked so beautiful just by holding on her.

She was not sure whether the dress fits her or not, but she appreciated his kind heart to get a gift for her. After all, her love bought it for to wear, so she shouldn't be too petty minding these minor details.She really couldn't wait anymore and wants to slip this dress on her.

She immediately discarded her current light pink dress and slowly, and lightly put on the blue dress, as though even a little hard push on it might rip the dress. She wore the dress as delicately as ever. She then noticed her slightly messed up hair and immediately combed her hair with his comb. Probably, because it was his comb, she felt it so soft while brushing her hair.

She then rushed to the door thinking she took much time while dressing. She unclasped the lock and opened the door. As she thought, he was roaming around the corridor outside the room.

When he heard the unlocking sounds of the door, he thought, 'good that you didn't take much time to doll up', he murmured in his heart and swiftly turned around to see her. He was not to blame. He was anxious for the sight.

It was not like what he expected.
