The amount of awkwardness only increased when Carson Edmond told the story of how Belle jumped from the branch of the tree. It must have been only with the children around them of her close age who had heard it else her mother would have had an earful of discipline being set for her. After all, Belle doubted any daughter of the house owner would aim to be the bride of a butler.
But then Lucas was such an amazing butler that he didn't fall under the same category along with the other butlers.
"Carson why don't you show Lady Belle the mansion," suggested Mrs. Edmonds, pushing both of them to spend some time alone to get to know each other.
Belle shook her head, "I am fine here," she said not wanting to leave this room.
"Don't be shy," Mrs. Edmonds laughed, "Go on Carson."
