Chapter 1723
The girl was sizing Nollace up. After a short while, she extended her arm to Nollace and offered him a sweet smile. “Hi, my name is Zenovia Livingston.”
Nollace grasped her hand due to courtesy and replied indifferently, “Nice to meet you.”
He quickly drew back his hand. The only reason he was responding to her was only because of basic etiquette.
Zenovia could feel the residual warmth in the palm of her hand. She looked at the handsome young man who was about her own age in front of her, and a feeling that she had never experienced before surged inside of her.
Ever since he came into the banquet hall until he stood in front of her, Zenovia realized that he was the prince charming that she had been waiting for the whole time.
Nollace left the banquet hall midway through the banquet. Zenovia went around looking for him, and she finally found him on a balcony outside the corridor.
He was leaning against the armrest, looking down at the large fountain in the garden downstairs. He seemed to be thinking about something.
Zenovia walked toward him and greeted himn. “Mr. Knowles.”
Nollace retracted his gaze and turned around to look at her. He replied faintly, “How can I help you?” Zenovia stopped in front of him and chuckled. “I saw you standing here alone, so I came over. What’s on your mind?”
Nollace did not reply. Zenovia was not angered. Instead, she teased him. “That is so sad. Don’t you think you should give some reaction when a pretty girl talks to you?”
Nollace squinted, and his face was expressionless. “It seems to me that you have a lot of confidence in yourself.”
Zenovia was stunned for a few seconds. However, she soon came around to her senses and collected her hair behind her back. “Of course. I’m pretty confident in myself. Besides, it’s essential for women to be confident, don’t you think?”
She had a lot of suitors back in Haniston, but those men were only interested in her looks, body, and family background. She had seen the true nature of many men. She initially thought that she would have to follow the arrangement of her family and get married to a man who matched her status.
When she agreed to come to Yaramoor to attend the banquet with her father, she never thought she would
come across a man she was attracted to.
