Michael’s brews knitted tightly, his deep disappointment in Willow was plain to see

The servant entered cautiously, casting a hesitant glance at Michael as he debated whether to relay Willow’s word:

Seeing this, the servant had no choice but to withdraw

Seated at his desk, Michael held the book for ages without turning a page.

Athena’s image kept flashing before his eyes; her smile, her wounded lock, every facet of her being

It suddenly struck him. It had been a gas since Athena had truly smiled.

“Their bond had only just begun to mend when malicious rumors reached Lord Michael’s ears. He now wrongly believes that Lady Willow slendered Viscountess and blamed her for the rift between you and your wife. I swear on my life, she said no such thing!”

Nicolas’s brows furrowed deeply as he listened.
