章 141: Chapter 141

"I see that you have returned ahead of schedule and did not even deem it appropriate to inform me." King Edward V said with his tone nonchalant while sitting on his throne.

Geoffrey who was kneeling on the ground in greeting finally rose, "Father I…"

"Impertinent! Did I say that you can rise!?" the king suddenly changed his tone.

Geoffrey swallowed and kneeled again. "Forgive me."

"Ha! Geoffrey, Geoffrey. You never fail to disappoint in the most crucial of timings. Why did you return without my permission? Have you even completed the investigations in Torton?"

Geoffrey kept his eyes lowered. "The matter had been most urgent. I could not let my wife…"

King Edward V sniggered. "Your wife. I heard you brought her back to Kensington house last night. My son, have you gone daft?"

"Father, Serena has done nothing wrong. The man she has been with in the photos, it was me."
