That evening’s banquet turned my Frost Family into a laughingstock in Calbery.
When I next heard news about Harper, it was when they announced their engagement in the media.
And the next time I saw him was right now. At this moment, he was no longer my fiancé; he was Grace’s husband.
"Mr. Scott! You come from a prestigious family, so please don't keep lingering around my house!" I spoke coldly, wanting to kick him out.
"Zelda! You have to believe me, Grace and I are really just acting!"
I interrupted him, "Oh, really? Then if our secret relationship gets exposed, how are you going to explain it to the outside world? Are you going to say your marriage is fake? Or are you going to say I'm the mistress?"
Harper fell silent. Honestly, I shouldn't have asked that question.
"Now! Please get out of my house!" I couldn’t take it anymore and gave him the boot.
"Zelda! You can't do this! I love you! Truly, in all of Calbery, only I am worthy of you! If you don’t marry me, no one will dare to marry you!"
I fell silent.
Harper was right. After he rejected me, I feared I would never be able to marry in Calbery again.
