Annabelle bravely returned Albert's gaze. She didn't want to be intimidated by the man's gaze. She thought that Albert would refuse his request or accept by putting forward some conditions that would be difficult for Annabelle to do. Turns out what she thought was wrong.
Albert's laughter suddenly resounded in the room where they were sitting. "It turns out that my future wife is not only brave, but also smart. I like that you are still willing to care and think about your servants, My Lady. Alright, I agree with what you're proposing, but before that…"
Albert's words were cut short as the man quickly got up from his chair and approached Annabelle. Albert grabbed Annabelle's arm to make her stand up.
"I want these sweet lips of yours, before I sign all the documents you need," Albert continued.
"But My Lord, what if someone sees us later?" asked Annabelle nervously.
