CHAPTER 18
With each passing second, Alexander's anxiety reached new heights. He felt as though he had just made a reasonable request, so why was Evelina taking so long to give him an answer? Surely, it couldn't be that difficult to respond in the affirmative?
It was clear that Evelina was thinking deeply about his proposal, which both frustrated and impressed Alexander. His heart raced as he waited for her response, his eyes darting back and forth as he watched her brows furrow in thought.
He admired her intelligence and wit, but at this moment, he couldn't understand why she seemed so hesitant to accept his offer of marriage.
