章 383: What his motive was!

Marianne pov contd.

"Mother, it is almost twilight, father still has not come. He must be busy." said Killian as he looked at the carriage that was going farther and farther away from us.

"Umm, Killian, the letter was never sent. Your father must be busy with many things. He was looking very disturbed when he left. So I didn't want to disturb him. Moreover I can handle more than 10 Isabella by myself. I do not need to disturb your father over this small matter." I replied with a smirk over my face and he blinked.

"Then the maid who was sent to write a letter and threaten aunt Isabella.. All that was an act?" he asked, blinking his eyes again. Was it so difficult to believe in that!?

"Well, I just wanted her to tell the truth and apologize to you properly. I did not want to lie to you son. I apologize if I have hurt you. But if i would have given you a hint, your aunt would have noticed it before you.'' I explained and he shook his head.
