Chương 51: Chapter 50: Encounter

The next morning, Mila woke up with a clear sense of purpose. She was planning to step out of the estate for a bit, but she needs the permission of the marquis, and he just so happened to visit Mila.

"My apologies for not visiting you yesterday, Evie. Father just has a lot of things to take care of. I hope you understand me," Cedric Ventor stated in an apologetic tone as he planted a kiss on top of her head.

[You must've been busy when the second prince was away.]

She thought as she smiled at the marquis, who has been more affectionate and can easily show his emotions as the day passed since she arrived at the estate.

[The novel is slowly but gradually changing. Good.]

Mila returned the smile, grateful for the warmth in Cedric's demeanor. "Of course, Father. I understand the responsibilities that come with your position. I appreciate your time whenever you can spare it for me."
