Thalia took a seat in the armchair opposite Caroline, meeting her gaze with quiet composure. “I never wanted to marry into the Ashcroft family.”
Caroline didn’t believe it for a second.
She studied Thalia carefully.
So this was the girl her son had been dating for three years.

Thalia calmly sipped her tea.
“And no manners,” Caroline sneered. “Not even offering tea to your elder.”
