Word Play Pt IV: (Promise to Work Hard)

"I say, Grand Aunt, are you not curious as to why that grandson of yours hasn't been sleeping and eating well? It's quite the interesting story." 

Elijah's question instantly caught the elder's attention.

Lady Charlotte's gaze shifted to her Grand nephew, pointing her chin in order to signal him to start talking.

Moulan, who had still been embracing his grandmother's arm up to this point was instantly shocked into sitting up straight.

"What are you even suggesting Elijah! You shouldn't be worrying grandma with such vague words. Grandmother knows how hardworking I am, very, very hard working! She wouldn't believe your slandero---… misleading words!"

Moulan quickly changed the wording of his phrase after realizing that his future pride as a genius grandson that his grandmother could be proud of was on the line.
