Rosella remained frozen as his huge body captured her into his. She felt weak instantly, and she had thought she would fall any moment from now.
As he continuously hugged her, Rosella could tell that he wasn't ashamed of her for he didn't let go when people directed their gazes at her.
They kept looking at her and before she knew it, she could hear different gossips from every corner. But still, this man didn't plan to leave her at all and as his embrace prolonged, she found herself weakening in heart.
She enjoyed nuzzling him. He smelt like fresh grasses that had just grown out from the soil after a rainy day. She could feel that she was already turning mild in his embrace and she fought herself not to get charmed by the man.
He could be pretending.
This could be part of the plan. It was, however, the reason why he was marrying her.
