章 154: Chapter 154

"Grandmother is bringing a tutor so I can learn before the ball tomorrow," Rose said, thinking her mother should be aware.

"Of course, she would. You have much to learn but I don't want to throw so much on you at once. A tutor might not be so understanding of our situation. I can teach you the basics first and then bring in a tutor. You will be comfortable with me," said Madeline, knowing a tutor from Valerie might be hard on Rose. 

"I would like that but how do I tell grandmother I do not want the tutor?" Rose asked, worried about Valerie's reaction. Her grandmother already didn't like her. 

"I will tell her. It was my duty to find you a tutor and for the ball, you don't need to attend if you don't feel ready. The invitation was for Anna to attend and be courted by suitors. I can send Victor and stay here with you," Madeline offered.
