Elektra didn't know how to respond, as Lucian seemed adamant about getting married.
At that moment, Sonya was leaving the kitchen after preparing the coffee. When she heard what Lucian said, she couldn't help but be astounded. I thought Lucian said those words in a fit of rage. That's why I thought he would change his mind the moment he saw Elektra. However, he's actually doing it! Furthermore, he's being so straightforward!
“Lucian, are you facing some difficulties? Otherwise, why would you suddenly ask me to marry you?” Elektra regained her senses, and a guess slowly surfaced in her mind. Something must've happened, and Lucian is forced to do this. What could it be?
Sonya halted in her tracks when she heard Elektra's question. She also threw Lucian a confused glance. I've been asking him that question, and I couldn't get an answer out of him. Now, even Elektra thinks something has happened. That has to be the case, then! Will he tell Elektra the truth?
Sonya waited by the entrance of the kitchen.
She had thought she could eavesdrop on their conversation. To her surprise, Lucian suddenly turned toward her and met her gaze.
Sonya froze momentarily before coming back to her senses and serving them the drinks nonchalantly. “I made coffee for you guys. Have some while you guys talk.”
Then she sat down next to them.
“Please give us some privacy. I need to speak privately with Ms. Lane,” Lucian uttered in a deep voice.
As soon as those words fell, Sonya froze, and her expression stiffened. “What do you want to talk to her about? Why must you hide it from me?”
Naturally, Sonya was displeased.
However, Lucian wasn't keen on explaining himself.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became tense.
Feeling the tension, Elektra quickly said, “Mrs. Farwell, I suddenly feel like eating the finger food you make. Would you mind making some for me?”
Only then did Sonya give in and say, “Carry on, then. I'll make some finger food for you.”
