She understands that he's still invested despite her words because they are still engaged even though it's only political However, it's not like she can break it now Though at least with only that binding the that that's all it is to their relationshi+p, perhaps, later, once the engageets broken, he would be able to accept her relationshi+p with Charlton and move on with his life

Now, she does kinda feel like she's a real villainess in a novel when she thinks of what she's doing Or maybe a two-faced female lead? Well, she's not that nice and she did seduce Charlton in the first place so, definitely a villainess

Geoffrey saw her approaching and he sht that so, but there were also tih, it's hisa white doublet embroidered with silver, the collar and the hehter than the color of her dress Funnily, they really looked like the live version of Cinderella and Prince Char up the pretense, Serena smiled back

Geoffrey's eyes lit up when he saw her Not being able to wait till she reached him, he walked and met her halfway

"You look lovely" He praised honestly as he gave her a smile

Serena smiled back then said, "Thank you" Careful not to add so him back

"Shall we?" Geoffrey said as he offered her his arm

Serena nodded as she placed her hand on the inside of the bend of his elbow

Then they started walking

"Ah, yes, I do like it but I wear it a lot because ift when I turned 18" She replied, lying through her teeth She should stop wearing it in front of him now that he noticed What if he tries and finds out where she got it?

Geoffrey nodded his head He was thinking of trying to figure where she bought it, ht a siain, with her answer, perhaps the reason why she keeps wearing it was because of the sentiment behind it
