“You cannot fooline, honey. I‘m aware that Aren might have rushed your engagement because of the condition his grandfather set for him, but the fact that you didn‘t refuse him means a lot...” She grinned, waggling her eyebrows. “L..... had my reasons,” I mumbled, avoiding her gaze. 

This was getting truly awkward. I couldn‘t tell Aren‘s friend that I was forbidden to have any romantic feelings toward him. Explaining the reason why Aren and I were engaged was even more complicated.
