Chapter 981:
Elyse examined Louise from head to toe and asked curiously, “He asked you to look after me? Are you actually going to do that? You don’t seem the type to follow orders.”
Louise replied, “That’s none of your concern. I promised him I’d take care of you. Now, come on, get in the car. Without my help, how could someone like you possibly stay at the Moon Palace?”
Elyse touched her nose, acknowledging her lack of credentials to remain at the Moon Palace.
Once they were both in the car, Elyse’s gaze drifted to the scenery outside. As they drove past a large shopping mall, she spotted a television in a store window displaying an amusement park advertisement.
Elyse noticed Louise was fixated on the advertisement. Hesitantly, she asked, “Do you want to go to that amusement park?”
Louise, caught off guard, hadn’t expected Elyse to notice. Embarrassed, she quickly dismissed it. “That’s a place for commoners. It doesn’t fit with my noble status. I don’t enjoy such places.”
Elyse watched as Louise continued staring at the TV screen. Her disinterest clearly wasn't genuine; she was quite fond of the idea.
With some time to spare, Elyse considered a moment, then proposed, “Would you like to go to the amusement park with me?”
Louise was taken aback. “Someone of my status doesn’t belong in an amusement park.”
Elyse responded earnestly, “It may not suit your status, but it suits mine.”
Louise was speechless.
Sensing Louise’s desire, Elyse recalled the butler mentioning Louise had recently turned eighteen. It struck her as unfortunate that, growing up privileged, Louise had never experienced the joy of an amusement park.
Elyse continued, “Didn’t Edward ask you to look after me? I want to go to the amusement park, so you’ll need to accompany me. How else will you fulfill your duty?”
Louise hesitated, then admitted, “Well, you make a good point.”
Elyse twisted her lips into a smile. “Shall we head to the amusement park?”
Louise rolled her eyes, cleared her throat, and responded confidently, “Since you’ve begged me, let’s go.”
Elyse chuckled, nodding resignedly. “Okay, okay. I’m begging you.” . . .
