Chapter 47 Chapter 47 But before Luciana even had the chance to refuse, Dorian had already turned her down. He was grounded and still that profeful. Watching Luciana walk away, Juliette wanted to follow, but Dorian tugged on her sleeve and looked at her with sad, pitiful eyes, beezing her not to leave. Juliette hesitated, stopping in her tracks. She had no choice but to stay and chat with him half-heartedly "These days si stuck here have been so boring." Dorian complained, clearly upset. Dorian still wanted to spend more time with Juliette. That thing with the god statue was just a careless mistake. It wouldn't happen agua. Besides, Dorian figured he wouldn't need Luciana for anything in the future anyway, so it was better to cut ties cleanly now Since Juliette was finally here, Dorian wanted to make the most of it. "If you're that bored, why not try harder to get out of here?" Juliette said while subtly inching toward the door. Francesca had secretly arranged for Juliette to come see Dorian. If Father found out, he might take it out on her. It was fine when Luciana was with her, but now Juliette was alone and didn't want to get dragged into this. Dorian had no idea what she was thinking and just kept talking, "Father's really mad. Maybe you could go ask him for me. If you do, he'll definitely let me out." Dorian was sick of being stuck here. And it had been quite a while-he figured Trenton must be waiting for someone to plead for him. Since he didn't want to turn to Luciana, Juliette was his only option. Juliette was definitely better at charming people than Luciana. She knew how to soften Trenton up. If Juliene just said a few nice things, Trenton would have to let Dorian go. And even if he didn't, it wouldn't hurt her either way. When she heard the request, Juliette froze for a second before politely turning him down. "You've been grounded for a while already. Father's probably calmed down by now. I don't need to say anything. Besides, I'm still not fully over my cold. If I passed it on to him, wouldn't that make things worse?" At first, Dorian didn't catch on. But when he saw her standing by the door, glancing outside from time to time, he finally realized she was itching to leave-and clearly didn't want to help him. "Afraid of getting Father sick. sure, that's a reason. It just doesn't sound very convincing. Dorian thought "Just wait a couple more days. He'll let you out. If there's nothing else, I should get going. I've been out too long and suddenly don't feel so great, Juliette said, trying to leave. Dorian couldn't hide the disappointment in his face. Why does Juliette keep avoiding me! I haven't done anything to upset her. But still, she always seems to be keeping her distance. Is she still afraid of Luciana? Does she not want to get too close because of my relationship with her? Is that really necessary? Back when Juliette was cold, I didn't push her either, and that's why our relationship kept drifting apart. Now I'm finally trying to get close, and there isn't even anyone else around. If she can sneak food to me at night, why can't she just talk to me a little during the day?" "No. Stay a little longer," Dorian said stubbornly, trying to guilt her into staying. Juliette clearly cared about him but wouldn't show it openly. That kind of hidden concern? Dorian couldn't accept it. He didn't want to wait until he became the crown prince. That would be too late. He'd be too oll by then to cling to Juliette's arm. Right now was just the right time-there was still a chance for everything 1/1 Title: ReelTalk EP 43 - Recreating Iconic ReelShort Looks with Sarah Moliski, Sarah Noelle, and Maria Barseghian Author: CrushReel Genre: Romance Status: ongoing In the latest episode of ReelTalk, fashion takes center stage as host Sarah Moliski joins forces with stars Sarah Noelle and Maria Barseghian to tackle a captivating style challenge.
