Chapter 2077
The father and son stood tall and handsome, their demeanor and grace in no way inferior to that of the royal family.
"Dad! Declan!" Bella immediately went over.
Wyatt curled his lips stiffly, his complicated and shady gaze landing on the travel-worn princess.
Declan stared at Annabeth's delicate face, his pupils contracting, fingers subconsciously tightening.
The moment she caught sight of the man's figure, Annabeth's eyes lit up, full of eagerness, but she could only maintain her reserved attitude due to her noble status and walk to Declan step by step.
Women understood each other the most. Bella keenly felt that the relationship between this princess and Declan was not simple.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
They had a history.
"Colonel."
Annabeth raised her chin proudly, staring deeply at Declan. "Aren't you going to greet me?"
The crowd's gaze all gathered on the stunningly beautiful pair.
Declan's throat bobbed as he stepped forward. Then he slowly bent down, kneeled on one knee, and held her hand, placing a kiss on the back of her hand.
"Your Highness."
Everyone was stunned.
Sasha was the first to react. She was indignant and nudged Mila with her elbow. "A man's knees are made of gold! How could Dec kneel to a little brat? When has a man in our family been so humble?"
Mila tugged at her sleeves. "Sasha, keep your voice down. She's a princess. Declan did it out of formality..." "What formality? We're not in ancient times! So what if she's a royal princess?"
Sasha was still dissatisfied. "We're not in Sentania, and Declan is not a citizen of Sentania. Does he need to follow their silly customs?"
Mila took the opportunity to pull Camilla over, asking softly, "Camilla, how did Declan and the princess know each other?"
"There were times when Declan accompanied domestic officials on visits to Sentania, and he stayed in the royal castle for a few days."
Camilla smiled wryly. "They probably met at that time."
"So, the princess followed you to meet Declan?" Mila's eyes widened.
Camilla looked at the scene before her, which felt like a proposal, and held her forehead in desperation.
Just as Declan stood up, Annabeth suddenly leaned forward, holding his shoulders, and stood on tiptoe. Her white fur shawl dropped to the ground, but her lips landed on his lips.
Declan's heart pounded wildly, and he felt as if an electric current had spread through his body. His palms were covered in sweat.
The crowd gasped in shock.
The Thompson family members had various reactions, and Axel even grabbed Roza's hand in excitement. "Declan likes women! Great... Now I can finally rest easy!"
Roza pinched his waist, feeling extremely speechless.
Just as everyone's attention was attracted by the intimate scene playing out, Wyatt pursed his lips tightly, turned around, and left quietly.
Bella noticed it and immediately caught up to him.
"Dad, you don't look well. Do you feel uncomfortable?" She supported her father, eyes full of concern.
"I'm tired and want to rest."
Wyatt closed his weary eyes. "Bella, ask Declan to meet me in my room. I have something to say to him."
