Chapter 25 All My Fault

• Ariana Sutton's POV
• I walked for a short distance and reached a gazebo, where I saw a figure standing. I steadied myself a little before I hastened my footsteps and walked over. James greeted me when he saw me. "Ariana…" I was repulsed by the way he called my name, so I responded in a rather curt voice. "You can call me Miss Sutton."
• James looked similar to the pictures I saw of him, although those had been taken when he was much younger. He seemed rather embarrassed upon hearing my words. "Ah, yes… Your mother's surname. That's nice. Coming to think of it, we once discussed your name in the past, and we wanted to call you Cherry Mottley because of how much your mother liked cherry blossoms. I hadn't expected there to be such a drastic change in your name."
