Chapter 176: Twist (2)
"How is Penelope fairing? Does she like your home?" Tobias inquired.
"She does. The duchess did well to prepare it for her," Tyrion replied.
"I see. I hear your mother is thinking of sending flowers from her garden so Penelope could have them placed around your home. We must plan a time for all of us to sit together. About your grandmother," Tobias said, addressing the problem Tyrion faced.
"I am sending her out of town for a little while. Some time out of Lockwood would be good for her and you. I heard about her sitting down with Penelope. I am disappointed," Tobias said, thinking of his past.
It felt like Tobias had gone back in time to when he picked Hazel as his bride, but Tabitha wanted Hazel’s sister, Helena.
"Edgar knows what was said about the duchess when she met with your grandmother. He is not pleased as expected. My mother is gathering enemies by the day. Enemies who are my allies. I apologise on her behalf," said Tobias.
Tyrion didn’t need the apology.
"Don’t ever apologise on anyone’s behalf to me. It’s useless when I know she hasn’t regretted anything she has said. She is so stubborn that she would try to humiliate Penelope before other ladies. I will not stand for it," Tyrion warned his father.
There was a limit to how much Tyrion cared for Tabitha.
