Yvonne Had Numerous Questions

Rutherford was lost in his reminiscing thoughts and hence had failed to catch the look of surprise that had flashed across his daughter's face.

'What does he mean by that?' Yvonne wondered, trying to decipher if her father knew more than what he should.

A stifling silence took over the room before the Earl realized that their conversation had died as he had been lost in his thoughts.

Shaking his head to push away those thoughts, the man who had turned thirty last year glanced at his daughter.

"Why do you ask, Vonna?" He inquired, confused about the reason this topic had been chosen.

He recalled a conversation similar to this in their past where she had questioned if he hated his father.

At that time as well, he had spoken the truth for he did hate his father in the beginning but later changed his mind.

'She said that she would hate me if I did the same to Howard.' He remembered another part of their discussion that day.
