Chapter 373 [Bonus Chapter] Bridesmaid (Chapter Preview)

On the other side of the church, in the room which was allocated to the bride,

Evan was sitting in front of a mirror in a white gown with her eyes closed while three ladies who had helped her twice before were giving her final touch ups.

One was applying lipstick on her lips that were already red while the other was fixing her veil. The third one was adjusting the accessories in her hands.

"The dress and makeup suited you quite well ,my lady. You are looking too elegant and graceful just like the previous duchess.

If we did not know any better, we would have thought that you are her daughter and lord leo is getting married into the house of Thawyne's!" a soft smile formed on her face, but she did not reply to that queer remark!

If only she would have her mother by his side! Even if it would not have been the duchess but a commoner, she would have felt grateful!

​ The bright eyes of Evan were looking exceptionally charming with a bit of highlighting. Her fair skin was looking no less than a fairy, enchanting yet lovely!

Her hands were turning sweaty and even when the ladies complimented her, she was not able to enjoy her beauty as she was feeling too nervous!

She had thought about this day so many times that she had not realized she would be so anxious today.

She felt like her heart would leapt out of her body yet she felt like she was walking on clouds!

The feelings were so polar opposite that she failed to understand what her true feelings were! As if she was going on a war, she was not able to collect her thoughts.

She was so happy that a foolish thought that Leo would not come to the church and she would not be able to marry him started to form in her foolish mind and she wanted to slap her for thinking so foolishly!

So, she decided to keep her eyes closed and concentrate on her breathing until she was called out!

But just as the ladies completed her makeup, the door of the room opened and the clinking of heels filled the room.

There was silence for a few seconds and Evan was not able to take it anymore.

She opened her eyes just to see Eli and Eve standing in front of her and staring at her from top to bottom.

"So, the day had finally come. Huh? You know most of the guests had arrived and father had already walked into Leo's room!

Soon you will be called to, so we are here to give you a final look of approval! How did you find your look!" Eve grinned like a sly fox as she placed a hand on the shoulders of Evan who started feeling more nervous after listening to him if that was even possible!

"Do not scare her! You are looking perfect and you will do just fine! You have been trained enough to handle nobles now.

And if Leo would bully you then you can always complain father! He dotes on your room so much that I am sure he would be the one to be punished even if it is your mistake!" Evan nodded with an embarrassed face and finally opened her eyes to stare at them but a frown formed on her lips when her eyes fell on Eli.

Though she was looking perfect in her make up and dress like a fairy from the mystic land, there were drops of blood around her finger and it looked like her make up was touched up many times before coming here!

She did not need to know that something had happened between her and the crown prince!

Both of them were strange! They loved each other so much but did not let go of the single chance of hurting each other! They both had sadistic and masochist personalities when it comes to their love!

Without saying a word, she picked up the handkerchief from the table and passed it to Eli who looked at her with bewilderment when she touched her fingers that still had traces of blood.

Evan was relieved to know at least the blood did not belong to Eli who had already looked away and started wiping her fingers with a blank look on her face.

Best

Was she afraid that she would ask anything? That was why she was keeping her face cold! Evan shook her head as she had no intention of getting part of their personal fight!

Yet she did not understand why Edward was not clearing it to her if he loved her so much!

"They will call you soon! Since you do not have other members of your family, I hope you did not mind if we will take you towards the aisle later!

Evan shook her head as she had already expected this. Not only did she not have any family left, even they did not have anyone to be recognized as a mother figure who would accompany her except the countess!

And she was sure that the proud lady would not come down to hold her hands!

"This is for you! I know that it should be done by an elder, but hey I'm a senior to you!" Eve took out a gold lock which she wrapped tightly on the wrist of Evan who blinked.

She had not expected this out of everyone, Eve would be the one to remember it!

The lock is made into two parts for the couple, it is half part of one heart that was added in the accessories of bride and groom and once they get married, it is kept by them as a remembrance that their hearts were one now and each of them were holding half part of it!

"Thank you!" her voice turned wet but she did not shed a tear when Eve shook her head.

"If you are so thankful, ask brother to fulfill his promise later!"
