Chapter 197: When history repeats (1)
"I’m sorry I couldn’t have returned sooner, but the young lady I have been employed to tutor is here in Lockwood. I shall come to see you during the time that I have off. Have you been well?" Melody asked, taking a good look at Penelope.
It was frustrating to return to Lockwood and hear others speaking about a curse concerning Penelope.
Why hadn’t they learned from Alessandra’s time that curses did not exist?
Melody wished someone had written to her about the curse or the fact that her mother no longer saw her grandchildren from Alessandra anymore. There was much for Melody to catch up on and to mend.
"I have been well, Aunt Melody. I knew that you were busy, so I didn’t want to bother you," said Penelope.
Melody curtsied after realising she had not greeted the prince. "Pardon my rudeness, Prince Tyrion. I was so caught up in seeing my niece."
"You are excused," Tyrion said, his gaze fixed on Melanie.
Was everyone who could bother them around the town today?
"There is much I have to hear from you. Do you both have a moment for us all to sit and talk? I will treat you both," Melody offered.
Melody wanted to fix what was happening between her mother and Penelope. If Melody could get at least one niece to make up with Melanie, then she was certain that she could get the others to follow along.
Penelope smiled in response and turned to Tyrion. She wasn’t ready to sit with Melanie, which was why she hadn’t opened the letter sent to her.
