'I'm truly sorry,' Stella thought as dried her tears. She was so relieved when she finally reached her room. She didn't want anyone in the family to see her crying. They might overreact due to worry.
'That was truly dangerous. I thought he would only confess his feelings but he also proposed to me instead.'
Stella paced around in her room and kept biting at her lower lip. She couldn't forget how hurt Prince Aiden looked. She suddenly doubted all her actions and how she had treated Aiden since she had her consciousness as Yeong-ja.
She thought she had been cold enough to him to turn off Aiden from having any feelings budding for her.
Was her avoidance of him not enough? Were her coldness in their letters not enough?
