Awakening Love Reborn to Be His Duchess (Elowen Hale) novel Chapter 410

Chapter 410 No More Secrets

But Cassian heard her.

He paused for a brief moment, then let a look of surprise settle naturally across his face. “What? Ella, that was you? You’re serious?”

Elowen went quiet.

Something felt off.

She couldn’t quite explain it, but his reaction didn’t feel entirely real. Still, she couldn’t pinpoint why, so she decided not to dwell on it.

A faint flush crept across her cheeks. “I know it sounds a little hard to believe, but it’s true. I chose the name because my grandfather once gave me a piece of land with a lake on it. It’s called Lake Azure.”

Cassian nodded. “That explains it.”

She hesitated, then asked softly, “Do you believe me?”

“Yes.”

No pause. No doubt.

Elowen let out a small breath and continued, “I’ve also started writing a new story.”

Cassian lifted his brows, looking even more surprised. “A new one? Really? How did I not notice at all?”

Elowen fell silent again.

That strange feeling came back. She stared at him without blinking.

Cassian met her gaze. “Is there something on my face?”

Elowen narrowed her eyes slightly. “Cassian… you already knew, didn’t you? About me writing stories.”

He was just about to deny it.

She cut in immediately, her tone turning sharp, though her eyes carried a warning more than anger. “If you lie to me, you’re going to regret it.”

Cassian let out a low laugh. “Ella, you really are sharp.”

That was enough.

Elowen knew she was right.

A rush of heat climbed straight to her face, spreading so fast that even her ears burned.

“And very cute,” Cassian added, reaching out to lightly pinch her flushed cheek.

Elowen bit her lip and shot him a look. “So you did know.”

“Not entirely,” he said, eyes warm with amusement.

She looked at him, waiting.

Cassian held her gaze for a second before continuing, “I didn’t just know you were writing. I knew you were Azure.”

Elowen froze.
