Seeing his calm expression and his unshaken silence, Nora could not help but frown," Are you not going to say anything? Grandpa William has told me about Nellie! How can you be calm after knowing that I know the truth? Are you not going to even explain yourself?"

Demetri looked up from the food on the table and carefully plated the food, handing her the sandwich as he nodded," You can ask anything you want to know, Nora."
