Chapter 356-I Tell His Brother
Helanie:
"Good morning," I heard my mother greet Lord McQuoid. I was asked to join breakfast so we could sit and eat before I headed off to the academy again.
It was Norman and Emmet, Emma and my mother with Lord McQuoid. I hadn’t seen Charlotte the whole of yesterday, and now she was missing breakfast too.
Of course, she was.
She wouldn’t want to sit and celebrate me. Or anything related to me.
"Helanie! Honestly, it was so nice to have you here with us. We felt like a family. Even when there weren’t many moments for us to celebrate as a family, you being around felt so good," Lord McQuoid gave me a warm smile, my mother uncomfortably shifting in her seat and then looking up just to check others’ reactions.
I did the same before responding to Lord McQuoid, "I am so glad that I got to know you. You are a wonderful man, someone my mother truly deserves. You have given her the happiness that she never got in her past. I think that says a lot about your kindness and how much you appreciate her," I watched his smile grow with pride upon hearing my compliments.
Emma rolled her eyes, silently mimicking me while making faces.
I noticed Norman shaking his leg and staring at me from under his eyebrows. Emmet seemed just like every other day.
