Capítulo 160: being caught like a thief

Marianne POV

"Mother, how is your health now?"

"I am a good son, thanks to the medicine you forced me to take." I replied in an accusing voice.

"There there, don't pout, it's good for your health, here have this pie, it is sweet, I promise." he added and I was dumbfounded, Cassius chuckled and I glared at him.

"Why, he is right, the pie is sweet." he added as the maid took a big piece and added it to my plate. I just cut it hard as if I was pricking this man who was laughing at me.

"Mother, I heard that you had a dance with father yesterday?" asked Killian and I nodded as the last night passed through my eyes, and so did the promise of leaving both of them in a few months.

"Would you like to have a dance with me, today?" he asked with red ears and I smiled.

"No" came the sharp voice before i could even accept his invitation,

"Why?" we both asked together as we looked back at him.
