Rejected, And Became A Heiress

Chapter 146

Eamon's POV

"Yes, and then when I told him to... he..."

My voice trails off as I realize the person I'm talking to is not listening to me at all. His gaze is thoroughly distracted to something on the dance floor. Glancing around me, I realize that he is not the only one.

Nearly everyone in the room is looking outward, and those that aren't at first and nudged and pointed in that direction.

I glance too, curious.

...Oh. Cara.

In the middle of the dance floor, Alaric and Cara are slow-dancing. Casting shy glances at each other, they seem entirely oblivious to everyone else in the room.

Everyone else in the room, however, is looking straight back at him.

"If you'll excuse me," I say politely to the people around me.

Sipping my glass of wine, I make my way over to one corner of the ballroom where my brothers have gathered.

To my surprise, Ryan and Aidan are both sitting politely at a table.

The twins are staring at Cara and Alaric with severe, unreadable expressions... yet they make no move to interfere with what's happening here.

This puzzles me to no end: The twins have always seemed to oppose Alaric's pursuit of Cara, yet tonight, they haven't tried to stop this at all.

Ryan catches me looking at the pair first, then gently knocks his twin on the arm.

Aidan looks at Ryan with annoyance at first, but then follows Ryan's gaze up to

me.

"What's going on with you two?" I ask them.

Aidan says: "We aren't doing anything!"

Ryan agrees: "We are just sitting here!"

"I know," I say. "That's what I'm talking about."

I motion towards the dance floor. "You aren't going to try to stop that?"

Aidan asks,

I talked about it some... We trust Cara, and have decided to let whatever is going to happen or not happen between her and Alaric happen naturally. If she picks him, she picks him. If she doesn't, we don't want it to
