Chapter 37: Everyman Type of Man (2)
"I don't want that or anything else from him. He needs to try harder than seducing me with pricey gifts and ... and off-color remarks."
Evelina fanned herself absently as the memory of that line washed over her. Taste desires? Pfft. Did he think she was deadly attracted to him?
"I would take them if you don't want to. Violetta please take it up to my room and when the Earl wakes up… "
"Father doesn't have to know about this."
"That's not for you to decide. He's remained adamant on accepting the Duke's request of your hand in marriage. Perhaps this will help soften his mind."
"What about you mother? Are you convinced by such a cheap show of flattery as this? Even the Prince had sent over a house full of flowers and that did not impress you as much as this."
"What is wrong with this girl?" Breanna directed that question to Violetta who doing her best could not hold back from shrugging slightly. She turned back to Evelina. "What are flowers? And what are ornaments?"
