Alisha's POV
I was well aware that my first meeting with Taria went completely awry. It was unexpected that Orathe agreed me to marry Louie, but Taria opposed our marriage.
I understand Taria's dislike for me, but I absolutely cannot let her take Louie away. Otherwise, his wounds...
Even though I know that if I speak out against Taria now, she will despise me even more, I still gathered the courage to try to stop her. However, it seems Louie sensed my intention. He gently shook his head at me, then turned to Taria, "Sorry, Mom, I won't leave Alisha. If you can't accept us temporarily, then I can't force you. But please, don’t force me too."
"Louie... Louie, what do you mean?" Taria asked, wide-eyed, seemingly in disbelief.
