These words reverberated inside Lady Miranda's ears like thunder and stunned the lady to the point that her entire body felt cold and numb.
"...So thanks for all that…."
And as Alexander finished, he noticed her lips start to imperceptibly twitch.

Lady Miranda suddenly felt she did not have any face to speak to Alexander.
Especially because this time, what Alexander said was indeed the truth.
Alexander had been trying to figure this problem out from the day he had that conversation with Lady Parthia, and after thinking about it for way too long trying to find the best man, he suddenly had an epiphany.
He found that he was looking in the wrong direction.
