Chapter 60: Chapter 59: Discovery

As Isaac stood by the door, a mixture of frustration and resignation flashed across his face before he finally relented, knowing he couldn't force his way out without risking further confrontation.

"I understand, Lady Evangeline," he said, his voice low and resigned. "I will stay, but I must ask for your forgiveness once more. My behavior was inexcusable."

Mila regarded him with a level gaze, her expression unreadable as she considered his apology. After a moment of silence, she nodded, acknowledging his words.

"Apologies accepted, Mr. Mitchell," she replied evenly. "But let this serve as a warning. Any further attempts to overstep boundaries will not be tolerated."

Isaac nodded in understanding, his demeanor now subdued as he took a seat once more, his gaze fixed on Mila with a mixture of respect and wariness.
