Chapter 85 The Unwanted

• "What time is the party starting this evening?" Raphael asked out of the blue. The surprise on Rosabella's face must have mirrored mine at Raphael's unexpected question. For a moment, it truly sounded like he was interested in attending the party, even though I had not said anything about it.
• "It starts at 8:00 p.m., but I was thinking that we could have dinner before attending. There's no reason for us to appear right on time," Rosabella quickly replied, and I could tell that she was extremely happy that Raphael was finally coming around.
• "Sounds good," Raphael replied in agreement. My eyes widened even further, and it took all my effort not to gasp in surprise at Raphael's agreeable attitude. I wondered what had happened to bring about such a change, but I had to admit that it did make things easier for me. Rosabella quickly went on to advertise how great the party was going to be and just how much we were going to enjoy ourselves while Raphael listened to her patiently, making relevant comments here and there. After Raphael excused himself, Rosabella turned to me and mouthed the words "thank you" with a bright smile on her face.
