Chapter 310 - 307: The Calm Before The Storm II (1/2)

”Charlton, you have to tell me everything. Your secrecy is getting my heart tied up in a knot.” Georgina told her son.

Charlton chuckled. ”Mother, we have the rest of the day, it's just 10 in the morning. Go on and freshen up first.” He suggested. He was a bit nervous opening up, so he wanted to delay a little. Also, the dirt and grime in his hair was uncomfortable. He knew his mother was also feeling the same.

That's one thing he did not like about the benz Simplex, it didn't have a roof unlike the omnibus. He hopes that the next car to be produced has one. He did not fancy taking a shower every time he uses it.

”You're really trying to keep everything in suspense, aren't you? If I didn't know any better, I would say you're doing this on purpose.”

Teasingly he said, ”Well mother, if you arrived just like when you said you will, then you would have known about it earlier.”

Georgina pinched and pulled Charlton's ear. ”What did you say to your mother?”

Charlton exaggeratedly expressed that he was in pain just like when he was 10, ”Mother, mother, ouch! Please, I will listen to you!”

His mother laughed and finally let him go.

After about an hour and a half, he knocked on his mother's door. Although he was already a grown man, he could still act like this. Growing up, although he was away for long periods of time, with him schooling in Alighieri, and in the capital, he was still close to his parents, more so with his mother.

In his younger days, it was not an uncommon occurrence for him to visit his parents' chambers. It was usually their venue whenever he wanted to share some good news and just talk about what's happening in his life. It has been a while since he last did that, but since now was a special occasion calling for some heart-to-heart talk, he chose that as their venue. It was also to ensure privacy.

Georgina knew that it must be Charlton, so she asked her lady servant to open the door.

When the servant opened that door, Charlton came in.

”So, you're ready to share about this lady that you want to marry? My son is all grown up now.” she teased.

Charlton entered the room. He chuckled as he nodded his head. Then, he sat on the seat beside the coffee table waiting for his mother to dismiss her personal servant.

Georgina waved her hand at the woman and the woman gave her a bow before exiting the room.

When it was just the two of them, she started to ask.

”So, is it Ms. Emily Evans? Although she's not that bad, isn't her social standing a little too low? Then again, haven't you publicly announced before that you don't see her that way? What caused the change of heart?” Georgina bombarded.
