Chapter 47

“Please accept my apologies, Mr. Lee.”

Kyle simply nodded at her, but he didn’t verbalize anything. He felt horrible mere seconds later when Clement spoke up again.

“Lady Alice, I believe you’ve overstayed your welcome. Gordon will show you the way out.”

Lady Alice’s whole body went rigid, but she managed to school her expression into something mild and serene. Kyle relaxed when Gordon eventually led Lady Alice away from the garden. He heaved out a sigh of relief when Clement embraced him tightly. He melted against Clement’s body as the tension left him bit by bit.

“Sorry.”

Clement kissed Kyle on the forehead. “What for?”

“I didn’t mean to cause a scene.”
