Chapter 1673
Alba stared blankly at the smiling face in front of her, her expression a little dazed.
At the same time, her heart was beating rapidly, and her breathing also began to become heavy.
After living for so many years, this was the first time she felt such an inexplicable feeling toward a man.
One must know that Alba never felt this way even when she was with her fiancé, the man who fascinated countless women in Star Kingdom.
Alba did not feel that David was annoying when she first met him, and she did not feel that way now that she was seeing David’s smiling and contagious face so close to her. Instead, she started to subconsciously fancy him.
Alba had never been an emotional person, and she had always been very rational.
She would think twice about everything.
Love was never a necessity in her life.
She had her own ideals and aspirations.
Alba never lost her mind even though the fiancé arranged for her by her family was one of the most excellent young people in Star Kingdom and was worshiped and sought after by countless women in Star Kingdom who wanted to marry him.
However, after calmly analyzing the situation of her family and the situation she would be in after marrying him, she quietly tried to escape the situation.
However, the man was too powerful and his family was one of the few top forces in Star Kingdom with a Sacred Saint. Therefore, Alba never had a chance.
Since the Fellowes family was on the weaker side, they did not have the right to break off the engagement.
Otherwise, their family’s demise would be hastened if they humiliated the other party.
Hence, after Alba found out that David had an alleged Sacred Saint behind him, she thought she had a little hope.
This was the only hope she saw after so many years.
Without a Sacred Saint as support, the Fellowes family would never publicly break ties with that family.
Alba wanted to cry when she heard David’s calm greetings.
She had been carrying too much burden.
She wanted to change her fate but at the same time, she wanted to prove herself and help her family out of their predicament.
Even all the youngsters and the heirs of the Fellowes family combined would not be as considerate as Alba.
Sometimes Alba figured she should not care and not think about anything since she was a woman who was not valued by her family. She felt that she should just follow the path arranged by her family.
She did not want to care what happened to her family.
She just needed to know her place and be a dutiful wife after she got married.
Unfortunately, Alba was more eager to get ahead in life than most men, so she was destined to never be able to do that.
Since her family did not value her, she would insist on proving herself.
Alba wanted to see what expression the elders and grandmasters of her family would have if she changed the Fellowes family’s situation and helped them get out of their current predicament.
After David asked that, he sensed something off with Alba.
Not only did not speak, but she was also looking at him with an aggrieved expression.
‘What’s going on?‘
He had been paying close attention to Alba, so he was sure she was not hurt.
If Alba were in danger, he would have acted much earlier.
He would not have waited until the end.
Was she scared?
This would be a little too much!
At the end of the day, Alba was the third young mistress of Treasure Trove!
