What did he mean by she was returning with him? When he would not even speak to her?
"Why?" Lady Whitmore asked.
He did not so much as blinked before saying, "She was handling the ball preparations since I am currently unable." He showed them his hands."
Her mouth fell open. Why would he openly tell her parents that she was assisting with their ball preparations? What did he expect them to say to that?
Lady Whitmore glanced at her with a slightly raised eyebrow. But knowing her as well as anyone else, Eve was certain that her mother was just as confused as she was, if not more.
"I never thought she had such abilities." Lord Whitmore broke the silence, letting out a small laugh.
"Perhaps I should thank you for giving her such an opportunity. Given that your mother is no longer with us, she will have to handle all the roles that accompany the title of Lady von Virchow on her own… and her mother is not keen on letting her assist in any way because she is so pointy with details."
