Time passed and Ariana stepped out of her room for dinner. As soon as she reached the dining area, she saw Lucian already sitting on his head chair.
The second he noticed her presence, his head lifted and their eyes met.
Ariana's breath hitched instantly as she watched him smile. If it were like any other day, she would have felt giddy but now, all she felt was a strange fear crawling into her heart.
Everything she thought and compared after reading that book left her in a huge dilemma. Unable to fathom her thoughts, a seed of doubt was already planted in her mind.
Standing at a distance, she pursed her lips and forced a smile before slowly walking toward the table
Hesitant, she pulled the chair for herself and took the seat.
Lucian on the other hand noticed Ariana's lack of reaction but chose not to raise his thoughts. He didn't want to argue with her anymore and spoil their mood, so he decided to keep his doubts to himself.
