章 47: What kind of person are you? (1)

"The duke and I were having a private conversation, Kate. You should go have breakfast and I will come to you when we are done," Katrina said, attempting to turn Kate away before her heart could be broken once again. 

Katrina no longer wanted to help Kate steal Edgar from Alessandra  now that he was married. The only way they could do this would be to make Kate his mistress who runs his wife away. Katrina did not wish for Kate to have this reputation. 

"Can't I stay?" Kate looked to Edgar for permission. She did not understand why her mother was ruining this moment after they had just come to an agreement to make her become the duchess.

"I don't see why not," Edgar shrugged his shoulders.

"See, it's okay mother," Kate's smile widened. She took a seat in the chair next to Edgar. "Thank you for coming to see how we were doing after my father passed away."
