Chapter 920 - The So-Called Apology (1/2)

While they were speaking, the door was knocked.

Si Yiyan looked at the people in the room before exclaiming calmly, “Come in!”

The door was then pushed open and Avrora entered together with Duke Moville and Duke Mo behind them.

Duke Moville appeared fierce and stern, with a cedar wood cane in his right hand. The carvings on the wood looked terrifying and menacing.

Wen Xinya could not help but sense a strong tension in the air, though she was unsure if it was just her hallucination.

The climax Si Yiyan mentioned was about to begin.

Avrora helped Duke Moville onto a seat that was on the same level as Si Yiyan. After handing his cane to Avrora, Duke Moville said, “I heard that Miss Bella got into a conflict with Avrora downstairs just now?”

Sensing that Avrora was staring at her in a provoking manner, Wen Xinya looked up at her, only to see that Avrora had a smug expression on her face with her brows raised.

Wen Xinya suddenly felt an ominous feeling.

At this moment, she heard Si Yiyan said smilingly, “It’s not something major, anyway. Duke Moville, I’m sure you know that the Chinese place great emphasis on rules and etiquettes. Hence, Bella is a little more stringent and anal about that.”

He was indirectly mocking Avrora for acting in an unruly manner and at the same time, tell them that Wen Xinya was well-mannered.

Avrora turned pale and grasped her dress tightly, staring at Si Yiyan intently with her beautiful gray eyes.

Of course, Wen Xinya noticed everything. Although Avrora did show that she carried a torch for Si Yiyan, she dared not express her feelings that openly in front of Duke Moville and Boris earlier on. However, she was now bold and unrestrained. She shifted her gaze onto Duke Moville.

Duke Moville’s face grew a little sullen because of Si Yiyan’s words, though he soon smiled and answered, “Hahaha! It’s normal for girls to express their jealousy and act inappropriately sometimes. Miss Bella, Rex, please don’t hold it against her.”

Si Yiyan looked down and sipped on some tea without answering him.

Wen Xinya’s eyelids began to twitch. First, it was Avrora openly admiring Si Yiyan and next, it was Duke Moville atrociously defending Avrora’s poor manners as an expression of her jealousy.

Just what did they have up their sleeves?

Duke Moville laughed and said, “No matter what, Avrora was the one being rude and offending Miss Bella. Here’s a little token of apology from me to Miss Bella.”

Duke Moville looked at Boris.

Boris placed a 2.2-feet-long embroidered woven box in front of Wen Xinya and said, “It’s nothing too special. Miss Bella, please don’t mind it.”

“Duke Moville…” murmured an astonished and surprised Wen Xinya.

He’s actually being so polite? However, he’s very mysterious and he’s obviously pinpointing me.

She looked at Avrora, who was much more puerile compared to the old and cunning Duke Moville and the conscientious Boris. If anything amiss was coming, she would be able to tell from Avrora’s body language.
