chapter 75

EHer father wouldn't have gone to the ranch of his own accord; someone must have forced him there. And there was only one person who could have done that.

 

Cesare confirmed it readily.

 

"Should I bring him back?"

 

She should have immediately demanded that Cesare release her father, but the words caught in her throat.

 

After all, the only reason Cesare had bothered with a baron of such low status was because he was Eileen's father.

 

It was easy to understand why Cesare had sent him to the ranch—to prevent him from exploiting the Grand Duchess's name for his own gain.

 

'Maybe he should stay there a little longer… Perhaps it might even help him quit drinking.'

 

Though it was a thought she quickly dismissed, Cesare seemed to voice it for her.

 

"It appears the Baron has adapted quite well to pastoral life. The cattle have even grown fond of him."
