Chapter 154: Long Awaited Apology Chapter 154: Long Awaited Apology “I have to present them to you properly, not with the other guests still waiting to give theirs.” The murmurs in the hall exploded.

Gifts?

Lots of them?

Just how important was Nnenna to him?

Nnenna nodded in response, but Arthur stood by the side, watching the exchange with dissatisfaction.

If he had known… If he had even suspected… He never would have treated her so coldly at the hospital.

Fate had given him a chance, a chance to reunite with his childhood best friend, and he had squandered it.

“Nnenna.” His voice was gentle as he called her name.

“I also brought gifts for you.

Even better than his, I’m sure.” But she didn’t even glance at him.

She just looked away.

Because Arthur’s wasn’t the gift she wanted.

An apology should come before anything else.

And he hadn’t given one.

Somto, standing beside them, clenched his fists.

His gaze swept over the two men, irritation simmering beneath his composed expression.

“Now that you two are done interrupting,” he said coolly, “it’s time for the first dance, and my sister hasn’t chosen a partner yet.” He turned to Nnenna and gestured toward the group of high ranking princes waiting nearby.

“Come on, Nnenna, choose a partner from over there.” But when she and the rest of the guests looked at the princes from the four major kingdoms, they realized They were gone.

The interaction between Nnenna and the two legends had terrified them so much that they had completely abandoned their hopes of winning her favor.

Marriage?

No, thank you.

They weren’t ready to die yet.

As soon as Nnenna turned to call upon the first prince of Ruxuron, she watched in disbelief as he hid further into the crowd, deliberately avoiding her gaze.
