Chapter 228: Trick (1)
"I think I should stay with you a little. Can you hear me?" Isaac asked, snapping his fingers near Xavier’s ear.
Xavier grabbed Isaac’s hand to make him stop. "I am quite close to breaking your hand and cutting out your tongue. I can hear you a little too well," he released Isaac.
"I can’t help it. You were scaring me while you were resting. You’re not going to suddenly go deaf, are you? It’s not impossible and I don’t want the Blackthorns coming after me thinking I did this to you," said Isaac.
Isaac already had enough problems with the attacks and someone looking for what he borrowed from the court. He couldn’t have the Blackthorns questioning him about Xavier’s hearing.
"Did you tell anyone we were meeting today?" Isaac asked, thinking he could hide he had been with Xavier for so long.
Xavier got out of the carriage and went up to the front door where Harold was waiting for him. "You are on my estate you fool. Harold, where is Selene?"
"The lady and your mother went for a ride for Selene to see more of the land. They not long set off with Lucas, Agnes, and the others before you arrived. Should I send someone for her?" Harold asked.
"No," Xavier replied, not wanting to disturb her. "See Isaac off and have blood ready for them when they return. I will also need you to send a servant to my grandfather’s home to inform him dinner is set for tomorrow night."
Isaac rubbed his ear as though he was the one who could lose his hearing. "Come again. You are inviting Orlork Blackthorn to dinner? That would mean he is awake."
"See him off now, Harold. He is annoying me," Xavier said, leaving Isaac without answers.
Harold walked out to see Isaac off. "You are annoying Lord Blackthorn."
