Expecting A Gift

"Can you be charming enough to make me fall for you...?"

"I believe..."

She raised her right hand and pointed towards Rex and said, "He is the strongest, kindest, wealthiest out of all of us!"

That was what she said and everyone heard it clearly.

But what captivated Rex's attention the most ut of what she said was - "Can you be charming enough to make me fall for you...?".

He could hardly believe what he had heard. Of course, he had tried to ignore Elina's words and told her that he wouldn't love someone like that and she too wouldn't be in love with him, but it seemed like he was completely wrong.

Perhaps it slipped out of her mouth while she tried to defend Rex. Of course, that was completely unintentional, at least it seemed to be.

However, she clenched her fist and held it against her chest tightly as she said that which meant that she was flustered and fully aware of what she was saying.
