Lucian did not mind the change in the topic and he followed the lady beside him to the next stall, watching her eyes gleam in happiness. The gloomy mood around her disappeared and she was now grinning with joy. It was as though the girl who had just spoken words of wisdom over experience was nowhere in sight. In her place was a maiden enjoying life and youth as everyone else did.
Irene sensed the intense gaze on her from beside her. But she ignored it completely and looked at the colorful and beautiful shawls and stoles. Her eyes were immediately drawn to a light pink stole with blue and white flowers embroidery, and she picked it up immediately. The material was soft to touch and Irene did not know why but her heart wanted it.
She caressed the stole and smiled in delight. Lucian had already spoken up before she could even ask the stall owner the price of the stole. "We will take this one."
