Lady Adele Fangblade's words were basically a jab at her own son, who immediately began protesting, "Mom, that is not true."
The woman tapped at her son's cheek fondly. "I am just messing with you. I do think that you spend more time in this hospital when there are two people that you have to visit, hmm?"
Ronan had no answer to that. He just gave his mother a gentle smile.
Lucien suddenly felt self-conscious. Should he really barge in when Ronan was spending time with his mother? Of course not. In that case, better make it short.
"Lady Adele Fangblade, nice to meet you. Thank you for lending me the shawl. And I am really sorry for my behavior previously."
Lucien held the cashmere shawl in front of him like some sort of sacrificial item. Ronan threw Lucien a quizzical glance, clearly curious about Lucien's improper behavior toward his mother. His mother could not help but break into laughter.
