328 Persuasion in the corridors

Music Recommendation: RV 155: II. Allegro- Antonio Vivaldi

—

With her mother's maid away from her, Rosetta could finally speak to Eugene without having to worry about the maid reporting about their interaction to her mother. They finished walking on the stairs and had stepped on the second corridor. She tried to walk next to him, but the man didn't even try to look at her or make an attempt to talk to her. 

Rosetta's arrogant heart softened everytime she looked at Eugene, and she wondered why her love was so hard. She tried speaking to Eugene, 

"I, uh. I don't want to marry Vincent Moriarty. It is my parents who are forcing me to marry him and I have nothing to do with it."

Eugene turned to look at Rosetta, "It is good to hear it." His words brought a smile to Rosetta's lips. At least he understood her. But then he continued, "It would be the worst if you agreed to marry the man because of other reasons."
