章 71: Chapter 71: Orphanage III

Geoffrey felt awkward being grouped with both Serena and Emily for obvious reasons. He too wanted to agree with Charlton regarding the grouping, however, he did not want to offend any of the girls.

On one hand is Serena, his intended. They both have never acknowledged this fact when they are in public, however, he, as well as she, understands what that implies and what is expected of them in the future.

In truth, ever since meeting her, he never had the opportunity to closely interact with her. Largely, he knew that it was of his own doing, still a bit spiteful of his father's choice, but he never saw her making the effort either. Initially, he assumed that she must be trying to impress him or at least garner his attention. However, perhaps because of what transpired in the music room last time, her impression of him now must be nothing short of anything but less than stellar.
