The breakfast went on smoothly. Instead of sitting far, Ian directed Elise to sit beside him. This could be one of their most peaceful day where the couple weren't intrude by people. During their lunch, Elise noticed how unlike before the maids who once opposed to the idea of her sitting beside Ian until they would go far as spreading false rumors about her now didn't even dare to make eye contact with her.
The dining room was soon cleaned out by the maids and Ian dismissed the servants who would stand on the side of the walls, waiting to be ready when he would drop an order.
Maroon also see there was no need for him to intrude the couple's time as long as the plates had been cleaned out and the drinks were present. Being a person who once had a lover he knew how couples like to spend their time together without a third wheel.
