章 257: The Countess' Kind Invitation

Rutherford was happy with two things that just took place.

The first was the news of his daughter passing the final trial by fulfilling both the conditions set by his son and the last was the scene he had witnessed.

'Vonna looked away as though she was being burned by fire.' He surmised after watching the short-lived interaction between the two children.

When his daughter and that boy had spoken up at the same time, he felt an unexplainable irritation in his heart which only intensified his dislike towards the boy who had accompanied the Tanner siblings to their estate.

However, when he saw how his beloved child had turned her gaze away he could not stop the proud smile from materializing on his lips.

"The two of you sparred for more than ten minutes!" A loud and joyful exclamation brought the Earl out of his celebratory thoughts.
