บท 688: 688. A Done Deal

Mauve shuffled in her seat as she sat for the second meal. The tension was palpable, and the air almost seemed to crackle. Most people appeared unbothered, but Mauve was on high alert as the servants served her meal. It was the second meal of the day, and the Levatons and Garths were seated together.

Lady Francine and Lady Marceline were both conveniently absent, and Mauve wondered if the conversation with Jael had anything to do with it, as no excuse was offered this time. 

Mauve barely got any stares from Jevera or her father as she sat down, but the Garths wouldn't stop looking at her. From Sabrina's little sister, Helena, to their mother, Arora, and their father, Lord Garth. Lord Garth's eyes held intense disapproval as he gazed at Mauve.
