Chapter 960: Rowena's Tears

Rowena realized she truly liked having his presence around her Several ti his food and their surrounding, not aware of her looking at him in interest

"Is the meal to your tastes?" Raphael asked "Or do you find it lacking? We could request so—"

When the man suddenly turned to her and asked her about the food, Rowena batted her eyes and froze She nearly e at hi" she replied in a staood"

She blushed when she realized that Raphael must have noticed her stare and si It wasn't the case

Quite the opposite, really

"Thank you for treating me to my birthday, I appreciate it a lot," Rowena said as she plucked up her wine cup and took a large sip

"You don't have to thank ht?" Raphael raised a brow as he looked at her and consumed the wine in one sip "Or do you really like wine?"

When she was younger, Rowena didn't have h she was a royal who needed to interact with guests often in royal events

She re so she could hold her liquor He said it was a skill needed by a woman but never really told her what for So she tried to drink, but it was not really for her

"A-ah, I just like the taste" Rowena lied The wine in this restaurant was so so, far from what she used to drink in the palace, but she pretended that it was the best wine in the world and she liked it so much

She only drank it to soothe her nerves A part of her still felt like she was betraying Julian by being happy, she needed to be sad and upset, and yet here she was—feeling much better

"Then drink as much as you like, but try not to over-drink okay?" Raphael told her and she agreed to it

However, even before the two of the and her eyelids closed Such quality of wine didn't suit her and now she was tipsy

"Ehm Rowena? Are you okay?"

She just looked up to Raphael andabout she needed to sleep Raphael prevented her head fro the bowl of soup and imood of a drinker, are you?" he chuckled

Raphael placed one gold coin on the table and took Rowena ho care of this woman already felt like second nature to him at this point

When Rowena finally opened her eyes, she looked up in alarm but she quickly realized that she was back at her house She fluttered her lashes and then looked at her surroundings She was back in her bed

H dinner with Raphael to celebrate her 18th birthday? Why was she here? Her head throbbed with headache and she realized shedinner
