Chapter 54

Caroline’s POV

I didn’t respond right away to what he said. It seemed as if I am still buffering, even though he was right next to me. It’s hard for me to believe. I initially calmed myself down and acted normally. I assured myself that he’d never recognize me.

“You will ask permission when you are already seated,” is not a question; what the auctioneer says no longer enters my mind; even though he was speaking in front of me, it was as if my brain was just floating about and whispering to me that I was now next to Andrius.

“Oh, right!” He chuckles then turns to me. I could see water dripping from his hair on my peripherals. “My bad.”

I was surprised when he stood up and left a few drops of water on our seat. People also looked at the two of us. What is he doing? People have lost focus on the auctioneer because he is stealing their attention. As his body grew, his hair was long, and I could see that the small beards surrounding his mouth made him look mature.
