"You!" she could not believe he just said that?
"Why? Didn't you say that these things did not affect you?" he raised a brow challengingly as he took another step in while making sure that the door was closed properly.
He did not want a maid or a servant to stumble in that scene and misunderstood her. Though he knew that he was playing with fire, the flames had already sparkled in the garden and he was not among those who backed down.
And he was sure that she was going to be his wife in the future, so what was wrong in seeing her this way in advance.
And if she wanted, she could have shouted and called the staff. He was sure they would have a few female knights and if not even the maids could gang up and throw him out. It was not like he was going to fight with them to stay in.

The thought made him giddy and he felt bubbles forming in the pit of his stomach.
"What do you say? Shall we raise the bids until you accept that you remember who I am! Take it as I am trying to blow the dust from your memory!" although he did not take a step further, he was already well inside the room and the exit door was behind him.
Not that she could run out of the room in the condition she was in!
"You are taking things too far! If you leave the room at once, I will try to ignore what has happened today. If not, I will make sure that you will bear the consequences of it and suffer all your life!" she warned with cold eyes. The fact that she was still standing there and talking to him confidently amazed him.
If any other woman had been at her place, she had cried and sobbed and begged him, yet she still had the fiery aura to command him. He swore that he had never seen a woman like her in his life and that was why he had taken all the odds yet come here to marry her.
She is the only one who could rule him. He did not need a meek girl who is always dependent on him but a strong queen who could be his companion and would not hesitate to beat him if it would take to keep him in place.
"You are mistaking my intentions here, Evelyn. I have come back with the intention to never regret in my life.
I will regret that I will leave without taking you with me." he placed his hands in the pocket and took out a small red velvet box.
Opening it, the room dazzled with the shine of the pink diamond of the ring.
Her eyes cracked as she stared at the ring and then at him. It would be a lie if she would say that she did not want to accept it. She had fallen for his charms a long time ago and even showed the boldness of telling him that she liked him.
But he only replied that "of course, you will like me since I am so handsome. And I like you too since you became my best friend in such a short period of time." that had made her frown and feel bad and now he thought that he would take her eyes just because she was in a compromising situation. Ha!
"I have already told you that you have mistaken me with someone else, why don't you trust my words. And even if you do not, I am not obliged to follow your whims.
Your empire may have the culture of entering in the room of a woman and brazenly watch her changing her clothes. But we do not have such a traditional mister.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSo, I am asking you one last time, are you going to leave the room or not?" with a domineering look on her face, she insulted him but he was already prepared for that after the events of the garden.
He knew that she was going to mock him with her every action. If it would have been another woman, he would have already turned and left without looking back. But for her.. He was ready to bear that much.
He knew that he had hurt her back then even if it was for saving her heart from breaking, he was the one at fault.
"What if i would not leave?" though he knew that he would not mind her words but that did not mean that he would not take any actions against her bold words.
Eve stared at him, as if trying to assess the situation. If he would not leave then they would be in a situation of stalemate.
If she called any staff then she could get rid of him easily but she was sure that words would reach the ears of Leo and her father and then the man would only end up in pieces while dangling on the door of her palace.
And though she was hurt, she did not want to see him dying. But if she would not, then he.. Wait! So he wanted to challenge her further. Since then the queen had accepted defeat!
"If that is the case, then I am afraid I could not bear the cold for long and I have to let go of the towel and change myself into a warm dress.
If you are so interested in watching a show, why don't you go and sit on the sofa or bed and suit yourself? What if you lost your balance and staggered once I let go of the towel? hmmm?"
