Chapter 346: Brother Disapproves
Talia left for Rosandale early in the morning and when she went to her place, Kate almost broke to tears seeing Talia. She was summoned to Louis’ house for breakfast and preparing to get an earful, she went there.
"Great grandmother is not so keen on letting you marry Arthur Sinclair after this recent debacle," he said and Talia placed her cutleries down.
Of course they are going to blame Fred for what that crazy Sophia did. But Talia didn’t think her great grandma would express her opinions this frankly considering what happened with Princess Lillian. Fred and she haven’t even announced their relationship in public yet. Isn’t it too early to talk about breaking them apart?
It doesn’t seem like her great grandmother’s modus operandi. She is old and the years have taught her patience. Even if she doesn’t approve of Fred, she won’t interfere trying to break them apart. She’d just let nature run it’s coarse and see if their love can stand the test of time. If they breakup, she’d be happy and if they do not breakup, she is mature enough to accept that too.
It should be Louis trying to meddle.
"Louis, couldn’t you have waited until she finished her breakfast?" Cordelia got angry. "Talia, don’t mind him and eat. You have to take your medications." Cordelia’s tone got softer as she spoke to Talia. "And no one has the right to tell you who you can marry." She then glared at Louis.
"You’ve gotten bold enough to speak against the wishes of The Dowager Queen?" Louis raised his voice at Cordelia.
"No. I know it’s not the Dowager who is trying to interfere in Talia’s love-life, but someone else whose name rhymes with ’gooey’. That’s why I am saying that person doesn’t have a say in who Talia chooses as her life partner." Cordelia didn’t back off.
"Gooey? Whose name rhymes with gooey? Me? So you’re saying I’m lying?"
So it is Louis!
Talia sighed in her heart but still she didn’t touch her cutleries. She needs to look pitiful to further her cause. Louis is not someone who responds well for confrontation. He is an arrogant person who is always right in his mind. He mostly is right and that’s why the flaw in his character never gets exposed as a flaw.
