“Go sleep in your room! Because of you, Ysabelle has gotten the wrong idea…” Sophie grumbled. Argh! Ysabelle must’ve thought there was some hanky-panky going on between us!

“What’s there to be afraid of?” Tristan replied. “You’re now my fiancée, so why should anyone care what we get up to around here? It’s none of their business.”

Oh, come on. Do I need everyone else’s permission to be in a relationship?

For a moment, the young woman touched her face and bit her lower lip as she lapsed into silence. “I’m all right, Aunt Sarah.”

Sarah, however, remained doubtful.
