Chapter 50 Why Not William?

Isolde lifted her head, momentarily stummed Oliver’s gaze flickered under the dim glow of the bonfire, his eyes gleaming with an intensity that made her heart skip a beat.

“Do you even know what you’re saying?” she asked, casually tugging at her sleeve, pretending not to be allected by the sudden rush of emotions.

Has this… a proposal! And if it was, did he even realize what he was doing? she thought.

Oliver Langley–son of Douglas Becker, adopted by Pablo, born to Princess Beatrice Hudson. He might currently be without a household of his owir, but even Margaret dared not show him disrespe

Oliver regretted his words the moment he said them. He had spoken on impulse.

And now, he feared she might actually accept. Yet, in that fleeting moment, there had been a strange, unexplainable hope that she would.

So when she brushed it off as a joke, he felt both relief and an odd sense of loss.
