Chapter 37

Nathan smiled a little and sat down next to Elena. “You know what? I’ve always admired Queen Elisabeth’s designer work.”

Elena looked at Nathan with widened eyes. “Really?”

Nathan nodded. “She didn’t know you designed for the brand. But when you appeared at the press conference in a black dress of your own design, my mom immediately said, ‘This Queen Elisabeth designer seems to understand the taste of noblewomen. Elegant but not pushy.’ She also said that you deserve to be my wife.”

Elena could hardly believe it. “But will your mother accept my four children?”

“Yes, my mother accepts your four children, Elena.” Nathan grasped Elena’s hand tightly. “My mother will never reject you again.”

Elena was silent. Her heart seemed to be gently soothed. For the first time, she felt accepted.

“Thank you,” she whispered.

Nathan rubbed her cheek gently. “So, how about it? Would you like to have dinner with me?”

Elena nodded. “Okay.”
