Chapter 637

---- If Elliot let her touch him, I swear, my grace would end right here and now! But before she could reach us, the shadow of a man stepped in, his deep voice joining hers, turning the performance into a duet.

He took her hand, sparing us from a scandal.

Baroness Hildaly, I appreciate you keeping my Duchess company.

I have some matters to attend to with the gentlemen, but I return shortly.

Dont worry, Your Lordship, Ill entertain Her Grace, and we ll both enjoy each others company, she responded pleasantly.

After the singers spectacle, saved only by that other Duke we saw earlier at the entrance, things had settled somewhat.

I wanted to curse Elliot to the heavens, but there was no point in acting like the betrayed, scorned woman.

He owed me nothingand certainly nothing to Rossella, who had clearly blackmailed him into marriage.
