Valerie smiled and said, "Alright, I'll keep you company."
Seeing Katherine finally smiled, Valerie felt more at ease herself.
However, since Julian had chosen to get engaged to Linda, they would have to attend the engagement ceremony before leaving. She wondered if Katherine could truly let go.
Valerie took a deep breath, saying nothing.
Meanwhile, Julian had been in a daze all day. After that night, he felt guilty toward both Linda and Katherine. Sometimes he would space out, feeling guilty when he saw Linda's smiling face.
Linda noticed Julian staring into the distance with a vacant look and couldn't help but wonder, 'What's the matter with him these last two days? He's always lost in thought.'
Linda approached him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Julian snapped back to reality. "Nothing."
"You seem to be in a daze a lot lately."
"Yeah, I haven't been sleeping well. Looking at the distance helps my eyes relax," Julian rubbed between his eyebrows, making up an excuse.
Then, he asked, "This place is not safe enough. Are you sure we're getting engaged here?"
Linda nodded, linking her arm with his, "Yes, I just want to get engaged as soon as possible, to stop others from coveting you."
Hearing this, Julian's face turned red. He was about to speak when Bowie came and said, "Linda, the costume designer is here."
Linda quickly kissed Julian on the cheek: "Wait for me. I'm going to try on the dress."
Julian forced a smile. Linda sensed something was off, but since Julian didn't say anything, she didn't pry. After all, they decided to be together, and Linda was sure Julian wouldn't betray her. Therefore, she wouldn't give up on him.
Linda's family was busy each day, preparing for their little princess's engagement ceremony.
The champagne tower and flowers had been brought in, standing out brightly in this war-torn country.
Linda chose a red dress for the occasion. She loved red the most. She wore a red dress when she first met Julian, and now even more so.
On the day of the engagement, Valerie and Matthew were also invited. Louis stayed behind to keep Katherine company.
Katherine woke up in a foul mood on Julian's engagement day. However, she tried her best not to go there.
She had promised not to disturb them. So, she intended to keep that promise.
Julian was surrounded by Linda's family as soon as he woke up.
Today was their engagement ceremony, but he felt uneasy all day, constantly thinking about the intimate moments he shared with Katherine that night.
He wanted to confess but didn't know how to broach the subject.
Everyone crowded around him as he looked at Linda, dressed to the nines across the room. Julian felt a lump in his throat.
