The nutritionist was scared and kept silent, but another woman who was responsible for the etiquette lesson said, “Miss. Peters, you are the princess of B country, so you should talk when you eat or sleep. Most importantly, you should make any noises when you use the tableware. You should keep it in your mind that you represent B country. If you have any chances to have a meal with other princesses who are from other countries, you should also behave well.”
Hearing these words, Waylen couldn’t help laughing in a low voice and turned to whisper to Leilani, “now how do you think about Bamford’s castle? Is it heaven? Right?”
Leilani then kicked Waylen under the table.
It was true that in Waylen’s house, Leilani can do anything she wanted. One day, she even climbed to the dinner table and dropped the plate down.
Waylen knew Leilani very well. If she made her decision, no one could stop her. Seeing that Leilani was going to be out of control, Waylen recalled that day that Leilani made his mother angry.
All of a sudden, Waylen ignored the nutritionist and the soldiers. Instead, he immediately pinched her chin and got some food from her mouth.
Everyone was astonished and embarrassed. As a woman, the nutritionist and etiquette teacher became shy when they saw Waylen kissed Leilani aggressively and gracefully.
The etiquette teacher thought Waylen was graceful and had an innate aristocratic trait. Even if he broke against the etiquette, he looked graceful too.
In another’s eyes, what Waylen did was very romantic. People envied Leilani.
“What do you want her to eat?” Waylen asked the nutritionist first.
When Waylen asked her, the nutritionist became nervous and answered hurriedly, “No.. no..”
And then she couldn’t help but peek at Waylen. She had seen many princes, but none of them could compare with him. Waylen was not only handsome and lovely to his wife but also had a good figure.
“What’s next?” Waylen then asked.
“The princess needs to take a walk in the garden for 10 minutes. And then she will have a flower arrangement class,” an assistant behind Waylen answered.
Waylen carefully wiped the mouth for Leilani and then said slowly, “We want to take a walk to the President’s study room.”
The assistant was shocked. He was confused. But Leilani understood, and she had the same idea with Waylen. They wanted to have a conversation with the president. Otherwise, Leilani must be crazy.
Hearing Waylen’s words, Olivia suddenly realized something and shook her head, saying, “Do you want to talk with the president? It is not an easy thing.”
Olivia just came out of Logan’s study room. She knew Logan was furious now. It was not a good time to communicate with him.
Logan wanted to force her to marry him. If he doesn’t reach his goal, he won’t give up.
But the problem was that Olivia didn’t want to be with Logan. She wanted to go back to her home. She decided.
Waylen ignored what Olivia said. Then Leilani explained to Olivia, “We should have a try. Probably.”
Unfortunately, when they came to see Logan. Logan had told the butler that if Waylen and Leilani wanted to have a negotiation about their departure, refuse them.
“But I am the princess,” Leilani said to the butler.
“At three o’clock in the afternoon. It is the coffee time, and the president will have a paternal talk with you.”
“The president’s timetable had been arranged?”
“Yes. Every second had been arranged if nothing special happened. Mr. President strictly followed his timetable. Now it is not a suitable time. So, please go back,” the butler politely refused them.
“Miss. Peters, it’s time to take a walk, please come with me,” the assistant caught up.
Waylen stared at the closed door without moving. Leilani was afraid that he would come in rudely, so she held his sleeves and then stuck his neck with her arms whispering.
After whispering to Waylen, Waylen decided to follow Leilani’s plan.
When Robert saw Waylen left, he was also relieved. He knew Mrs. Bamford was the only one who can persuade Mr. Bamford to do something.
At three o’clock sharp, Leilani and Logan sat at the European round table in the garden. They were surrounded by the pleasant smell of flowers and pleasing twittering. The wind slowly brushed against the bushes.
It was a place to relax both one’s mind and body. But the environment became so stiff because of Logan’s presence.
Logan’s behavior was majestic like a king, which brought indescribable pressure upon others.
Logan took a sip of espresso, “How are you doing here?” He had papers in his hands while reading them.
Leilani said unhappily, “Not good.” She was forced to the afternoon tea. Who would be used to it?
Logan didn’t take his eyes off the paperwork the whole time, “You’ll get there.” He was a workaholic.
“Why don’t you tell me how you’ll let us go. We’re not close. Sitting like this is embarrassed. What do you think?”
Logan turned a page over and lowered his head, “Do you need to name a price for your stay?”
“Even if we’re related, I don’t feel there’s a point about the forced relationship. And I’m a grown-up, you can’t interfere with my freedom.”
“Before you’re a grown-up, you’re our princess. You have to assume the responsibility of diplomacy. The country will watch your every move. You have to stay.”
“It’s only for diplomatic purposes?”
“If you can’t feel our tie, I don’t think your understanding is wrong.”
Leilani thought their talk would lead nowhere. She looked over at the plants. It was better than facing an embarrassing workaholic.
She counted the time. The tea was for about an hour. According to the schedule, she couldn’t leave within the hour. She was so bored.
She suddenly heard the sound of gunshots fired. She looked at the direction, but the buildings and plants blocked her view.
Logan didn’t have to raise his head to know what Leilani wanted to know. He explained, “I plan to train a batch of bodyguards to follow you for protection.”
“For protection or for spying?”
Leilani didn’t beat around the bushes.
“Protection of course. We have a lot of political enemies. The princess’s safety is the priority.”
Leilani didn’t know what to say, “If so, think of me as not a princess.” The princess sounded more dangerous than she imagined. This seemed like a trap. She had almost zero chance to persuade Logan to release them.
But she had to leave. Charles had the op. If he woke up, he could cure her.
She was racing with death. So she had to leave ASAP. She didn’t even have time to persuade Logan slowly.
Even if she had to resort to the most violent manner, she had to leave B Country. A Country would be Waylen’s domain after she got back.
Logan smiled and didn’t say anything. He might feel her question pointless. His housekeeper brought a pile of files, “Mr. President, the report has been expedited, and here’re are the results.”
“Tell me.”
“The result suggests you’re 99% possible to be related to Leilani and 0% possible to be related to Rebecca.”
Logan looked at Leilani, getting ready for the press conference to announce Leilani. And prepared the press speech, arranging for Leilani to meet our public.”
Leilani was speechless.
Her decision to leave seemed right.
Soon she heard Logan saying, “Send the copy of the speech to Olivia.”
Leilani didn’t overthink. It would make sense to notify her mother of the announcement.
