Forgiven But Not Forgotten

Evelyn's sight stayed on Clara for a few seconds before moving them to Alexander.

"Clara will stay here."

"No."

"No."

Alexander and Mason said simultaneously. Before their voices could fall, they looked at each other in exasperation.

Evelyn eyed them. She could understand why Alexander was opposed to the thought, 'but why would Oliver?'

Evelyn thought for a few seconds as she understood the hidden meaning under her cousin's strong denial.

'I could have helped you Oliver only if you had known to keep your mouth shut.'

Evelyn looked at Alexander whose eyes were anxiously waiting for Evelyn's final words.

A sly smile spread on Evelyn's face. 'I have forgiven you for Amelia's thing, but I have not forgotten it yet.'

Evelyn lifted her finger and pointed at Oliver and Alexander, "Why don't you share a room too." Evelyn looked at Clara. "What do you think? We should give Alex and Oliver a chance to bond. Shouldn't we?"
