Free Web NovelChapter 1604: Chapter 1604: Catherine Didn’t Understand the Situation
Taylor’s gaze was also fixed on Jocelyn Morgan, watching her take a seat by Ian Shelby’s side. His chest tightened, why her??
"Hey, Prince Taylor." At this moment, a general’s daughter sat beside him and greeted him proactively.
Taylor turned his eyes at the sound; the girl smiled sweetly at him, "We meet again, do you remember me?"
"No, I don’t." Taylor replied, then leaned forward and refocused on Jocelyn Morgan. Today, she really fit his aesthetic.
Her beauty was so pure and otherworldly.
Taylor couldn’t help but recall the time they bumped into each other in the café. That day, he was in a bad mood, so he hadn’t paid much attention to her.
Could this be fate?
They’ve met again today? He quite liked this type.
The general’s daughter was puzzled and followed Prince Taylor’s gaze over there, unsure what exactly he was looking at.
Was he looking at Prince Louis? Or at the girl beside Prince Louis?
But from this angle, Prince Louis is incredibly handsome!
He gazed forward, his face sharp and handsome, with pale lips and a distant aura that made people want to get close, yet there seemed to be mountains and rivers between them...
Jocelyn sat in her seat, also gazing forward.
She couldn’t feel Ian Shelby’s gaze on her side and could only calm herself, slowly breathing in the familiar scent emanating from him.
Vaguely, her heart felt a tinge of painful tugging...
Jocelyn lightly pressed her pink lips, wanting to turn her head to glance at him, even if just once, but she dared not. So many were watching, most were likely enemies, right?
She closed her eyes briefly, her inner conflict intense, her thoughts in disarray as she tried to steady herself.
Past memories surged like tides, her heart suddenly sour.
But in the end, she did not turn to look at him, not wanting him to worry or cause him any trouble.
In truth, Ian Shelby felt the same, not wanting to trouble her either.
Time came, everyone was seated, and the King announced the start of dinner... The dishes were exquisite, but Jocelyn and Ian ate like they were chewing wax.
They were close yet had no interaction, giving Princess Catherine no reason to see anything unusual.
This restrained emotion was a unique torment for young lovers.
During the meal, the King showed good favor toward Justin Kingston, frequently glancing at him, discussing business matters with him, and even initiating to toast with him.
Princess Catherine was delighted, assuming it was the King’s affection for her.
She hadn’t reported the castle park’s construction to the King, fearing he would blame her. But unexpectedly, he not only didn’t blame her but even attended the welcome feast despite his illness.
The weight on Catherine’s heart was lifted, and with Justin Kingston receiving high-class royal hospitality, the relationship naturally became closer.
After dinner, it was time for the ball.
Having taken medicine and settled in a comfortable chair throughout, feeling like he was almost lying down, the King didn’t return to the palace early.
He wanted to find an opportunity to speak with Justin Kingston alone.
The King participated throughout, shedding any aura of majesty, appearing like a kind old father, often smiling.
Everyone felt his condition improving, and the officials were pleased.
The lavishly decorated banquet hall was vast and expansive, with ceilings four to five stories high. As the music played, many princes and princesses couldn’t help starting to dance.
Lorelei is a romantic kingdom.
