Charlton reentered the garden and tried not to sigh as he walked back to his seat When he was near enough his seat, about 3 steps aelco Emily with tea to the face His eyes widened while everyone looked at the three of them

He i? He just arrived and haven't even sat down yet However, with how things were looking, he knew that everyone already associated him with the situation He wanted to facepal a turn to go to Serena's table and excuse himself from his host? Marvelous idea

He was just about to do that when the two girls spotted him

"Lord Daniel, I'irl, Ean to explain

Charlton wanted to say, 'I don't really care, so you two just do your thing and I will just disperse somewhere'

E her eyes as if sobbing

"Lady Anna, I know you have some admiration for Lord Daniel But there's no need to take it out on me if he doesn't see you that way Lord Daniel and I are just friends, and the only reason he askedthe Charlotte's ball before the interlude was because of that"

Charlton looked at Emily with a raised eyebrow, did she have to word it that way? Should he just deny her words outright? But ould that make him seem like?

Thankfully, before he could speak, Christopher approached, Serena and their former schoolmates in tow

"What happened here?" Christopher asked

Anna, seeing her brother went to stand beside him "Brother Christopher, this Ms Evans has been rude to er She's a lady who does not know propriety"

Christopher knew his younger sister's attitude and most probably she started it herself However, he was his sister, so he did not adized to Emily

"Ms Evans, please overlook this …"

Eht Lord Cross I don't knohat I did to offend Lady Annalys but thank you for your graciousness The tea party has been wonderful, but I believe it's time that I take my leave"

Then, Emily looked at Charlton

Charlton stared back What? Was she expecting him to help her or whisk her away? No way

Serena wanted to laugh at the side The draht out her own handkerchief

"Miss Eave her a friendly s it was How to describe it again? Oh yeah, like the Chinese idiom said, "When a snipe and clam quarrel, the fisherman benefits"

Serena felt like she's the fisherman
