Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen

284 Sincerity And Honesty

Selma Payne’s POV:

“Don’t tell me that’s all you did.” I said, “I’m a princess and he’s a general. Isn’t it normal for him to be in charge of escorting me?”

“Alright then,” said Avril, pursing her lips. “Looks like we’ll have to reveal something big.”

“What?”

“A mobile pastry cart.”

“What snack cart? Don’t use this kind of smoke bomb to get away with it.”

“God, you won’t shed tears until you see the coffin.”

Avril was excited. It seemed like she was determined to hammer my love with Aldrich into reality. This made me regret a little. Why did I dig a hole for myself?

I suddenly lost all thoughts of resisting. Hiding it from my friends made me feel very restless, which was also unfair to Aldrich.

“You’re right,” I said. “I’m indeed a couple with Aldrich.”

Avril didn’t expect me to be so honest. She didn’t even think that her guess would actually be true.

After a few seconds, she finally screamed, “Really?”

“That’s right.” Since I had already told him everything, I decided just to go all out. “Aldrich and I were together since our first year, but due to various reasons, we had to hide it.”

“I knew it, I should’ve known. Oh my god, when Sir Aldrich came to send you to and from school, I thought it was his Majesty’s order, but now it seems that it’s just a little couple’s fun!”

“Actually, back then, my parents did not know about our relationship. They thought that it was Aldrich who was loyal to his duty.”

Avril was so mesmerized by this ‘idol drama’. It was like a plot that she almost fainted. She lay on the sofa’s armrest for a long time, unable to return to her senses.

However, when she realized that no one in the room had any change in expression except for her, she immediately understood everything.

“So, I’m the only one kept in the dark about this?”

Before I sensed the crisis of our friendship, I firmly rejected it. “No, mara doesn’t know either. She’s the only one who doesn’t know now.”

There was no need to talk about Dorothy, Jordin, and Emma, who followed me every day and had seen everything.

“I can’t believe it, ” said Avril. “My best friend is in love, but she hid it from me. What’s more, she hid it only from me. Ha, you even said ‘never lose contact’ and ‘look at the wrinkles of the other party’, but they were all just excuses you made up to deceive me, you scum!”

“Mara still doesn’t know.” I tried to put up a final struggle.

“Heavens! Poor mara! Does she know that the woman she’s devoted to has found another man behind her back?”

“Why is it getting weirder and weirder?”

In short, after some jesting, Avril ‘forgave’ me with much difficulty.

Since it was a working day, Mara had gone to the Midnight Opera House for her internship, so she didn’t come with Avril.

“You’re not going to tell her?” I asked, “Actually, I didn’t want to keep it a secret for a long time.”

“No,” said Avril. “Of course, she has to find out herself.”

There was no need to be so strict.

However, this could not be hidden for long.

The day before the wedding, we went to Avril’s bachelorette party. She only invited a few good friends, close classmates, and colleagues, and we had a party in a bar reserved just for us.

“Now that things have come to this, I’m suddenly a little scared.” Avril was a little drunk. She sobbed and said, “Perrin is a good man. I believe we will have a happy future. However, when I thought about the sudden change in my identity starting tomorrow, I couldn’t help but panic. It’s a completely foreign life, and I don’t know if I can adapt. ”

We consoled her, and I said, “Don’t worry. You can do it. The life changes were always fast and sudden. No matter how well prepared we are, we would always have a lack of confidence and panic when things come to a head. Therefore, instead of worrying about the unknown future, letting go and enjoying life is better. Since you believe in Perrin and the future, what is there to be afraid of? Everything will have a perfect ending, so all worries are in vain. Only happiness is real.”

“You’re just like that little old man from the philosophy elective class,” said Avril in a low voice, almost in tears. “Selma, you’re right. There’s nothing that can’t be managed. Since I’ve chosen to believe, it’s time to believe truly.”

After the event, we helped Avril send off the guests one after another. Then, I waited for my ‘chauffeur’ to arrive.

Thanks to New Flow, I’d drunk quite a lot of champagne on behalf of Avril. I was a little tipsy now. Seeing Aldrich leaning on the car door, I ran over and threw myself into his arms.

“Good evening, my dear!”

I kissed him on the cheek and hid in his coat to protect myself from the cool summer night wind.

Mara’s jaw dropped at the bar entrance. She sobered up quickly and asked Avril for confirmation, “Did they kiss? Did they just kiss?”

Avril looked at her with pride and pity and nodded. “That’s right, silly child. They’ve been together for a long time. You’re the last to know.”
