They walked out from the castle leaving the angry old man behind.
Old Master Ye sat on the chair and drank a cup of rose tea.
"Old Master, don't be angry. Maybe Young Master just found her refreshing and after some time, the novelty wares off." Butler Wu soothed the angry old man.
"You're right. And besides, Elaine is the only one I want to be my granddaughter-in-law." He placed the teacup on the glass table.
"Sorry for seeing that blunder, child. I really wish I could beat up that stupid grandson of mine..." Old Master Ye sighed as he could not do anything to Augustus.
He was his chosen successor and out of the 4 grandchildren he had, Augustus showed the best quality of a businessman but his choice of women is questionable and this made him mad.
"Don't take me as an outsider Grandfather, you will never hear a word about what happened today. But, Louise is very beautiful..." Elaine smoothed it out. She wanted to know why the old man seemed so deadset against them being together.
"She will never be enough for Froilan... She's just an orphan whom he pitied. And that face couldn't bring any business to him, so what if she's beautiful? Can she eat that?" The old man's anger seemed to be back.
"Grandfather, don't be angry over insignificant matters..." Elaine really knew how to calm him down. "Why not I share you what I did in Country Z?"

Louise didn't struggle anymore as the man didn't have the intention of letting her go.
They walked towards the car and entered. As usual, Augustus opened the door for her and let her enter before he entered the driver's seat.
"You're not angry?" He asked after some time of contemplation.
"Why would I be?" She asked as she really didn't got angry towards the old master's attitude.
The man became silent. He wished she will get angry and throw a temper but this woman is so good at handling with her emotions that even him will have second guesses.
He sighed. He started the car and drove away from the castle.
Louise bit her lip and her thoughts unreadable. After some time of silence, she asked.
"You want me to be angry?"
The man braked suddenly that she jerked forward but the pain she anticipated didn't come. Augustus's arms blocked her from the inertia.
"Sorry..." The man apologized. And checked if she had any bumps. Upon seeing that she hadn't he sighed with relief.
"What? You want me to be angry?" Louise asked again. She stared at him straight to the eyes. Her profile reflected in his golden orbs and it felt like she was the only one who can enter in his eyesight.
"...Nevermind. Don't be angry. He's just talking nonsense because he's old." Brushing off his question.
"... Do you want me to or not?" She asked again stubbornly. She was not letting this topic drop.
"Well, what you really feel?" He asked. He never asked her about the way she felt about him during this year. He didn't tell what he truly felt either as she was still undergoing therapies. He didn't want to burden her with another feelings thus he only showed his care and gentleness but even this made Louise heart flutter.
"Nothing. I am not petty about over your family. I am not that important. I'm here just the I'm a daughter of your friend and helped me because of it." She said but her tone had some bitterness in it that she didn't realize.
The man wordlessly looked at her, then cupped her face as he seared her with a deep kiss.
Louise was stunned silly.
What was happening?
"Now, do you get it?" The man asked after some time while staring at her intently.
His burning stare scared her. She never seen Augustus looked at her this way before.
"What are you doing?" She managed to ask the question despite of the drumming heartbeat she had. She wiped her lips with the back of her hand but before she could even do so, the man yanked her hand away and kissed her again.
It was not until she was out of breath that he let her go.
"Don't you get it?" He placed her hands over his wildly beating heart.
This made her blush even more so.
