116 Shall We Elope Together?

Claire's POV

"What do you mean by that, Louis?"

Not only my body trembled, but also my voice. I looked at the handsome man in front of me in disbelief. Just yesterday, he held my hands firmly, calling me his only fated mate, but now he wanted to give up on me!

"You want to give up on me?"

"What!"

Louis widened his eyes at me, realizing instantly that I misunderstood him. "Of course not, my dear. I'm just..."

Louis didn't continue but let out a deep sigh.

"Just what?!" I immediately pressed.

"I'm just thinking, perhaps being a member of the royal family isn't something worth longing for."

Louis wiped away the tears from my cheeks with his fingers, and his tone finally softened.
