The War God Alpha’s Arranged Bride Novel

---- Chapter 282 Oliver had specifically expressed the importance of releasing a follow-up statement that could not only save face but rebuke anything the King had to say in regard to Alexander's character. While Alexander was busy working on his newest press release, | had taken up my time in the greenhouse. I'd successfully harvested the first round of ingredients for the serum and was ready to begin the first trial | kept my promise to Alexander and stopped wearing the mask around the house.

It was a little difficult at first since | hadn't initially given anyone a genuine chance to see me without the mask to begin with. | stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom and gently applied the cooling solution over the scarred tissue. | was glad to feel the cooling effect almost immediately. | closed my eyes and let the tingling sensation work over my skin, Knock. Knock. Knock. "Yes?" "Evelyn? Would you care to join Wendy and me for tea in her rooms this afternoon?" Nina asked. "Oh, um...Sure. Why not?" ---- The woman's expression lit up. "Wonderful!

"I truly think that you ought to take them up on their offer. | can't say whether or not Fiona or Caroline are going to try and retaliate.
