"Nothing," Chloe replied, her eyes lowered to her thighs. "Not yet."
"You mean?" Elaria raised an eyebrow.
"Since morning, I've been trying to make him look at me as a woman," Chloe revealed, a hint of shyness in her voice. Her fingers fiddled with her skirt as she confessed, "But it isn't working at all."
She looked up into Elaria's eyes, grabbed her hand, and whimpered, "Mama, what if Vlad doesn't like me?"
Elaria had long been aware that Chloe loved Vlad as a man. As Vlad's mother, she also knew how he felt about her.
Still, neither she nor Edren had ever interfered in their relationship in any way. It was these young ones who had to figure it out after all.
Seeing Chloe so worried, Elaria wanted to tell her the truth right there, but she held back, knowing it wasn't her place to say it.
