Chapter 270.1
All the men’s eyes shuddered with a shock when Charlotte daringly interrupted the conversation. In contrast to their expectation that a furious roar will soon follow, only a slight frown was formed between Mitchell’s brows before he gave a snort and said to her with much indifference.
“Is he being nice to you?”
“Of course he is, grandfather. Your grandson-in-law is a fine man.”
Mitchell then turned to the men behind and told them to leave the room. As soon as they were given permission to leave, the men lowered their heads before they made a bolt for the door. Watching as they left, Mitchell clicked his tongue at their unseemly backs.
When things quieted around them, he asked Charlotte.
“What brings you here today?”
“I’ve come to give my greetings to you of course. Especially since it’s been so long since I had last visited the Holy City.”
“You shouldn’t have bothered to. We would have run across each other anyway.”
Charlotte was not in the least offended by her grandfather’s grumbles as he has always been ill-tempered and never knew how to speak kindly to anyone.
