Chapter 181: Someone needs to be put in a time out
"You didn’t tell me that." Fiona whispered finally. Cass swallowed, about to say something, anything when Lord Ridgewood rushed forward, pushing Lady Ava out of the way. She let out a complaint as Fiona caught her, but Cass was more concerned about the green-eyed man who was getting way too close to him.
"27 years? Male or female?" He demanded and Cass answered more because he had no idea what was going on, and hoped that would end this awkward conversation.
"Uh, male?" Cass answered.
"Siblings?" Lord Ridgewood didn’t stop.
"One. A sister." Cass said. What was this? An interrogation?
"Partners? Were you married? Engaged? Had a lover?" Cass’ mouth went dry.
"Uh, no. Never." That seemed to surprise him. In fact, that seemed to surprise all of the men. Everyone except the two women he’d spoken to about his feelings on the topic of partners. Lord Ridgewood’s eyebrows shot up.
"No? I doubt the gods would have shown you someone ugly, given who you are now. Why?" This was a rather uncomfortable situation and Cass wasn’t quite sure what to do about it. It felt fast. Sudden.
"I-He just didn’t want to." Lord Ridgewood didn’t like that answer.
"That doesn’t make sense. You’re already married here, so why wouldn’t you in the dream?" Cass opened his mouth, before he just shrugged.
"I don’t know. He just didn’t. Didn’t want to. Was too busy working and taking care of his sister to do so." Lord Ridgewood’s eyebrows shot up.
