Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel Chapter 194

Chapter 0194 

Alexander looked momentarily surprised by the question but recovered quickly. “No, I haven’t put much thought into it yet,” he admitted. “As I’ve said before, I want your input. I think it would be best if we chose your dress first, and then I can find a suit to complement it.” 

“I suppose that makes sense,” I replied softly, nodding. 

“When do you want to start looking for the dress?” he asked. “Do you still plan to take my mother shopping with you? She’s asked me about it a couple of times—she seems very excited about spending time with you and your mother.” 

A wave of unease washed over me at the mention of Diana, but I forced a smile to hide it. “Of course. I need to get that planned. I keep forgetting to ask my mother about it, but I’ll do that when I get home and make sure she’s okay with the arrangement.” 

“I see no reason why she wouldn’t be,” Alexander said. “But please let me know once you’ve confirmed with her. I’ll make all of the arrangements so you don’t need to worry about it.” 

“Thank you,” I replied. 

Normally, I would argue against Alexander taking on more responsibility for the wedding, but the idea of contacting Diana on my own left me uneasy. 

The comments she had made about Alexander when we first met still lingered uncomfortably in my mind. I didn’t trust myself to handle a private conversation with her again, even over the phone. 

“Well, now that’s all settled,” Alexander said, leaning back in his chair. “Are you staying for dinner?” 

“I wish I could,” I said regretfully. “But I’ve been gone all day, and there are some things I need to help my father with.” 

“Of course,” he said with a small nod. “In that case, I won’t take up any more of your time. Let me know once you’ve gotten home safely.” 

It felt a bit abrupt to leave like this, but I noticed the way his gaze kept drifting back to the notebook on his desk. He clearly had work he was eager to return to, and I didn’t want to hold him up. 

“I will,” I replied, standing up. “Have a good evening, and thank you for everything today.” 

“There’s no need to thank me,” Alexander said, standing as well. “We’ll talk soon.” 

Alexander walked me to the door, where James was already waiting in the hallway. “Thanks,” I murmured, feeling awkward but grateful for the gesture. Alexander nodded briefly before retreating back into his office. 

James and I headed downstairs, and I saw that a car was waiting for me–Alexander must have arranged it the moment we left. 

The long drive home was filled with thoughts about the wedding venue and everything still left to do. Excitement swirled within me, but so did a nervous energy that I couldn’t quite shake. 

Before I knew it, the car was pulling up in front of my house. My mother stood out front, her arms crossed as if she’d been waiting for me. I sighed deeply, knowing I couldn’t put off talking to her any longer. I had to arrange the dress shopping trip with her and Diana, no matter how much I dreaded it.
