Love's Unexpected Awakening Elowen's Choice novel Chapter 717

Chapter 717 Pleee in Her Heart

Lowering her gaze, Iris pushed down the unnameable emotion and walked in, her face carefully expressionless.

Pinished

Lila noticed her first. Her smile vanished instantly as she bowed respectfully. “Your Highness” Keeping her head down, she quickly scurried out of the room

Caelan turned around. His smile didn’t fade as his eyes found Iris, and his voice was gentle. “You’re back. My mother didn’t give you too hard a time today, did she?”

Iris looked up at his perfectly relaxed face, and that bitter, unnameable feeling surged even stronger inside her.

Elowen’s words by the rockery echoed in her mind.

Between husband and wife, nothing matters more than sincerity.

She had truly taken those words to heart just moments ago. But now, she couldn’t erase the image of Caelan and Lila laughing together.

A sudden, humorless smile touched her lips.

“Not at all.” she said, her voice entirely flat. “It is only right that I listen to Her Highness’s guidance.”

Caelan opened his mouth to speak.

Iris cut him off before he could get a word out, her tone remaining cool and detached. “Your Highness, I ran into Lady Elowen on my way back. Her Grace mentioned she brought some cakes for us, and they should still be warm. You should try some, Your Highness.”

Without waiting for a response, she turned on her heel and walked into the inner chamber.

Caelan stood there watching her disappear behind the curtain, frozen in place for a brief moment before a slow smile spread across his face.

Standing nearby, Cedar had witnessed the entire exchange. Totally bewildered, he asked, “Your Highness, Her Highness clearly seems upset. Why are you smiling?”

Caelan glanced at him, his voice bright with amusement. “You don’t understand, Cedar She’s upset because she saw me talking to another woman. She never used to care about things like that. Back at my mother’s palace, I could talk to as many maids as I wanted, and she would always remain perfectly detached and polite, never offering a second glance or asking a single question. Do you know what this change means?”

Cedar shook his head. “I really don’t, sir.”

“It means I’ve found a place in her heart,” Caelan said, unable to hide the sheer joy in his voice. “She’s finally starting to care about me.”

Cedar blinked in surprise, then slapped his thigh as realization dawned on him. “Of course! So Her Highness is jealous!”

Caelan glared at him. “It’s not jealousy. It’s called caring.”
