Geoffrey waved his hand. “You don’t need to force her into anything. This is already enough. Why push

her?”

He didn’t believe for a second that this dinner was Isolde’s idea. After his public apology, she had visited him twice, but then never again.

He knew she still resented him. That was fine. He had come to terms with it. As long as she was willing to marry from the Langley estate, that was already more than he could ask for.

If not for the wedding, he wouldn’t have even bothered taking the medicine the doctors prescribed.

Esme said, “This time, no one forced her. She said it herself. And she’s bringing Clark and Lady Nicole along. If you’re not feeling up to it, I can go back and let Lady Isolde know.”

She turned to leave.

Geoffrey froze for a moment before calling out, “Esme, wait!”

She stopped and looked at him.

“Are

you certain? Isolde truly said she wanted to have dinner with me?” Geoffrey stepped forward, his voice trembling slightly, his eyes pleading.

Esme had not expected this reaction. Though she had forgiven him in her heart, she still harbored a thorn of resentment. She had intentionally kept her distance, only inquiring about his condition through Harlan.

But now, seeing him like this, her heart softened. With a sigh, she said, “Yes. She’s getting married soon, and before she leaves, she wants to fulfill the proper father–daughter courtesies. One meal, so that it won’t feel so unfamiliar when she bids you farewell. That’s all. Clark and Lady Nicole will be there too.”

“Good, good, good!” Geoffrey said eagerly, flustered. “She… she likes certain dishes, doesn’t she? I should- Harlan! Harlan should prepare-”

“No need. I’ll have the meal arranged,” Esme interrupted. “Just stay inside, Geoffrey. It’s cold out.”

With that, she turned and left.

Geoffrey let out a small “Oh” and slowly turned back toward the corridor, gripping the railing as he steadied himself. He saw Harlan waiting at the door and told him, “She’s coming later. Get the side hall cleaned up. The air in here is heavy with illness. She won’t be able to eat properly.”

“Understood,” Harlan replied, a small smile of relief on his face.

“Also…” Geoffrey hesitated. “Bring me a bowl of medicine first.”

Harlan chuckled. “Looks like only Lady Isolde can get you to take care of yourself.”

Geoffrey gave an awkward smile. “I just don’t want to be coughing through the whole meal. She won’t be

able to eat.”

“As long as you understand that,” Harlan said, then set off to make preparations.
