Chapter 94

“Indeed,” Grace chimed in with a pinched voice. “She didn’t even come to greet you first when she arrived. Instead, she’s chatting with others. What does that say? She clearly doesn’t consider you worth her attention.”

Lady Blackwood was absolutely fuming. “This Thalia Winters truly has no respect for her elders. No manners whatsoever. And to think your mother claimed she was well–bred and cultivated.”

A small triumphant smile played at the corner of Grace’s lips as she spoke in a gentle, understanding tone. “Grandmother, please don’t be upset. Don’t let her affect your health–that’s what matters most.”

Lady Blackwood patted Grace’s hand affectionately. “You’re always so considerate and caring, my dear. You truly

are my granddaughter.”

Grace’s smile deepened. “Grandmother, would you like me to stay by your side forever?”

The elderly woman gave her an indulgent look. “Silly child, you’ll marry someday. How could you possibly stay with your grandmother forever? Though I’d love to have you with me always, you’re bound to marry eventually.”

If I married Asher, I could stay with you forever, Grace thought but didn’t voice aloud.

Instead, she smiled demurely and said in a sweet, cajoling tone, “For you, Grandmother, I could remain unmarried my entire life.”

This comment delighted Lady Blackwood immensely, bringing a broad smile to her face.

Just as she was beaming with pleasure, Asher and Thalia spotted Lady Blackwood and, after exchanging a few words with those they were conversing with, began walking in their direction.

Grace alerted her, “Grandmother, they’re coming over.”

Lady Blackwood let out a disdainful sniff. “About time.”

Thalia approached Lady Blackwood on Asher’s arm, stopping before her with a polite, formal greeting: “Lady

Blackwood.”

Lady Blackwood had previously insisted Thalia not address her as ‘Grandmother,‘ which Thalia now respectfully

observed.

However, the elderly woman’s expression reflected deep dissatisfaction. “Such a formal address. Are you still harbouring resentment over the family dinner incident? I’ve already apologised to Asher. Why must you be so vindictive?”

Asher’s brow furrowed immediately. “Grandmother, wasn’t it you who explicitly told Thalia not to call you ‘Grandmother‘? Thalia is following your instructions–how can you now be so unreasonable?”

Thalia inwardly gave a cold laugh. Lady Blackwood was clearly looking for trouble again.
