Chapter 165 Go Ask Pablo Yourself

Geoffrey rarely entered Isolde’s chambers. When he did, it was always brief and to the point. The longest time he had spent there was when she was injured, and she had said she wanted to return to Windermoun missing the peaceful days she had spent there. That was when she had cried,

But since then, he had never seen her shed a tear for herself. The only time he had seen her cry was when she had looked at Prunella’s portrait in his room, but that was not about her own sorrow.

Geoffrey suddenly realized that this daughter of his was incredibly stubborn. He knew so little about her.

“Is something wrong?” Isolde’s voice broke through his thoughts as she noticed him sitting there, staring off into space.

Geoffrey straightened his posture. “Your grandmother is very ill. Do you know?”

Isolde’s tone was nonchalant. “I’ve heard.”

“You haven’t gone to see her?”

Isolde’s gaze was distant. “She doesn’t want to see me. If I go, I’d only make her angry, and that would do her no good.”

Her indifference stung Geoffrey. His voice rose slightly. “There may have been many unpleasant things between you two in the past, but she’s gravely ill now. You should put that aside. As her granddaughter, it’s your duty to serve her while she’s bedridden. Not doing so would be unfilial.”

“I accept the charge of being unfilial,” Isolde replied lazily, without a care.

-Geoffrey was taken aback, his frustration boiling over. He knew that speaking to her in this way was

pointless, so he decided to get straight to the point. “The doctor said she doesn’t have much longer. Braden is still in prison, and it’s unlikely he’ll be able to come to see her. You should ask Pablo. He has influence with the High Magistracy of Argentum. If he can arrange for Braden to come back for a day or two, it would fulfill your grandmother’s last wish.”

Isolde rejected him outright, without hesitation. “I won’t ask. You know Pablo, you go to him yourself.”

Geoffrey’s face grew darker, his patience thinning? He slammed his hand on the table. “If I could ask. I wouldn’t have come to you.”

Isolde raised an eyebrow. “So you admit it’s something shameful. You care about your face, but I don’t.”

frowned, realizing she was accusing Prudence of being petty.
