Chapter 207: A Colossal Joke

Aurora followed Finnian upstairs, speaking only when they were out of earshot: "It's been a long time, Miss Montgomery."

"Indeed, it's been ten years, hasn't it? I hear you've become a trusted confidant of my grandfather," Aurora said with a quiet smile upon recognizing an old friend.

"All thanks to your grandfather," Finnian replied respectfully.
