Chapter 161: CHARLOTTE & GEORGE (10)
George stopped at the sound of Charlotte’s voice, then turned around. "What is it?"
"We..." Charlotte twisted her fingers together, mustering up courage. "C-can we sleep in the same room?"
Immediately the words were out, she lowered her head, ashamed. Growing up, she had always seen her parents share a room. Even when they would visit her in Amberale, they stayed together in a room. But maybe it wasn’t the case in nobility. How would her words make him think of her? Her heart beat wildly in her chest.
"Alright." The words left George’s mouth even before he thought about it.
’Huh?’ Charlotte was even more stunned that he agreed. Then, her face bloomed into a bright smile, leaving George stunned for a while.
He shook his head, and told Charlotte, "Tomorrow, you will be shown around the mansion as you must be tired. The servants will also be introduced to you." As they walked to his room.
"The servants will move your belongings here and the head maid will call you for dinner." He opened the door to his room.
"I understand... my lord." Charlotte added after a pause. She wasn’t used to saying that.
George stopped for a second, but didn’t say anything about it. He turned around and left the room, leaving Charlotte alone to herself.
Some moments after, a knock sounded on the door.
"Madam, it is the head maid." After saying that, she entered the room. "Madam, dinner is ready. Please follow this servant to the dining room."
