Chapter 108

RHEA’S POV

I peeped over Estefan's shoulders as he searched for the trending news on his phone just like Anna was doing with Esteban.

My mouth hung open when all the popular news from that afternoon was about Anna and me at the Charity. I glanced at her to see her face fall when she realized that the little she had stepped away from was becoming a huge problem.

Who knew that my kind attitude to carry the boy would make the citizens condemn Anna and demand that I should be the next Queen?

“Anna, I'm so sorry. I didn't know…” I started but I got cut off by King Estevan.

“Why are you apologizing? You did the right thing by helping that boy,” he said before he turned to Anna who was staring down at her finger. “Do you have anything to say?”

She glanced at Esteban before she replied, “I didn't mean to make him fall. His hands were dirty, so I didn't want him to stain my dress,” she explained. “I had no idea that it would end up being a problem.”
