Chapter 23: Calhoun's Predicament.
Calhoun went quite hearing her. It's not like he was oblivious of Stella's affection towards him. But he had his own insecurities to deal with.
"Calhoun... Let us get over with this today. Do you have no problem with me choosing someone who is not you?" Stella questioned seriously and this was one of those few times when she gets serious.
Calhoun looked into her pure eyes. How can he have no problem with this? He liked this girl. But he didn't feel worthy of this princess.
"Stella.. You are unnecessarily jumping to ..."
"I love you"
Calhoun's eyes went wide hearing this sudden confession. He stared at her for some time before shutting his eyes and taking a deep breathe.
Stella now made everything even more difficult for him. He didn't want her to say this. He was not ready to tell her the same.
The carriage landed near the Glory falls again and Calhoun was the first to get down, followed by Stella.
