章節 75: Chapter 75: Afternoon tea party V

"Lord Cross." Emily greeted with a smile as she lowered herself for a curtsy when Christopher finally stood before her. Though she inwardly thought of Christopher as a douche, she knew that it was her bitterness speaking. That aside, he was still a marquis and heir to one of the most powerful dukedoms in their kingdom.
