'Let go of my hand now,' Stella wanted to say. She didn't understand why Prince Aiden had to keep holding her hand after she had accepted his gesture of gratitude and respect.
The fact that she was not wearing her gloves because she demonstrated the patch test at the tea party with the ladies didn't help at all.
'Why did I forget to wear my gloves again?' she internally grumbled.
Stella had been told to always wear her gloves since she was little due to her body's sensitivity. All her maids also always made her wear her gloves.
But just today, Stella had forgotten to wear her gloves and Sarah had forgotten to make her wear them after the patch test.
The shock on Sarah's face was apparent when she realized that Stella's hands were bare. She brought out Stella's gloves but hid it back in her pouch again since it might offend the prince if she suddenly made her lady wear it now.
