Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0193 Chapter 0193 Ella POV Alexander smirked slightly .

Youve been trying so hard these past few months to present yourself as a mature , grown up woman .

Its nice to see that childlike excitement on your face again .

Im not being childish , I said defensively , crossing my arms .

I didnt say you were , Alexander replied , his voice calm .

Theres a difference between childlike and childish .

You dont need to be so defensive with me Im not judging you .

His words eased the tension , though I could still feel the faint heat of embarrassment on my cheeks .

I managed a small smile , realizing he wasnt criticizing me .

He was just noticing me , in a way no one else had .

Wonderful , Christopher said , clapping his hands together and flashing a grin at Alexander .

In that case , I insist the two of you visit me this weekend .

Ill give you a private tour , and we can start planning the layout for the ceremony and reception .

Alexander looked at him in surprise , his expression quickly shifting to irritation .

Do you know how busy we are right now ? Yes , Christopher replied smoothly , and Im sure you dont expect me to arrange everything on my own .

After all , it is your wedding .

Alexander rubbed his temples and sighed softly .

Fine .

Well be there Saturday morning .

I could barely contain my excitement at the idea of a private tour of the Castle , and it must have shown on my face .

Alexanders annoyance was puzzling , but I didnt dwell on it for long .

Christopher stood , offering his hand to me, and I shook it automatically .

I look forward to seeing you again , he said , his charming smile firmly in place .

He turned to Alexander .

And dont be a stranger , Alexander .

Try not to be so smug , Alexander replied , raising an eyebrow .

Im simply in a good mood , Christopher said with a slight shrug .

I suppose one of us has to be .

Well talk soon , Alexander replied .

Have a wonderful evening , Miss Rowan , Christopher said , giving me a parting smile before turning and leaving the room .

I looked at Alexander , still puzzled by the exchange .

What was all that about ? Alexander sighed heavily and closed the notebook hed been writing in .

Christopher and I have known each other for a very long time , he explained .

In that time , hes gotten very good at pushing my buttons .

Youre friends , arent you ? I asked , tilting my head curiously .

Yes , Alexander replied after a brief pause .

Or at least , we used to be .

Its nothing you need to worry about .

Hes just been teasing me all afternoon , and I guess its gotten to me .

Icould tell there was more to the story , but I didnt want to pry .

It wasnt my place , and I appreciated how much Alexander had already done to make things work .

This is the perfect solution to our problem, I said , trying to shift the mood.

And youre right people will want to come to the wedding just to see the Castle .

Davids ittle stunt is going to backfire .

Thats my hope , Alexander said , his tone softening .

But it seems youre genuinely excited about this , which is Chapter 0193 an unexpected bonus .

Shouldnt I be ? I asked , feeling a little self conscious under his gaze .

Of course you should , he replied .

I hoped this would cheer you up .

bit the inside of my cheek , trying to rein in my emotions .

Alexander was right , of course my excitement was obvious , and there was no reason I should feel embarrassed by it .

This truly was an incredible turn of events .

Seeing you excited lifts my mood , Alexander said , his voice softening .

Its nice , considering how hard weve both been working to make all of this happen .

That reminds me , I said , the thought suddenly striking me .

Have you made any decisions about your outfit for the wedding ?
