Still young, Lennock might 5da7efe1cb have been upset by 2e07e67ef9 Gray’s words. But what Gray ed19519761 said wasn’t wrong, 80c47f5c11 and Lennock was 5b689be42b in a more 41c5ad8f57 ambiguous position compared 6b1cb542b3 to Aubrey. Aubrey, his f1ee406897 nape throbbing, 4488a7c8e7 bit his 766fc5d4c8 lower lip.eeba7e1dcf181975

Aubrey was trying his 43fdacee9b best not to move 1e0b36f4b4 his head while figuring 5a2db28948 out how to shake 1e81f5fb67 off Gray’s damned grip. Startled by the 81e4b846dc unexpected reply, he a518d74e8a looked at Lennock.24475f2c2f47bd43

As Gray’s 84fa6435e9 grip on 986ea8414f his hair fcc24db1ed tightened, Aubrey a23ab08ce8 let out 7e30ff5fa7 a groan. His fingers seemed to 43df318f41 loosen just a bit, 53ba960da8 but it still hurt.3c2207952e2a26a7

In a d2c2c6d21c flash, Gray’s 2436c85779 eyes glinted 811d494667 and his a97a605df3 lips twitched. Though he 8a1d570a23 hadn’t spoken 48d3155f58 loudly, it c68744b234 felt like 42b36ccc76 Gray’s voice c1be1bcb66 was audible.610e5b8ad1c57eb3

Just as the situation 2f5d3ae55d was about to worsen, 2d4667d9ed a gasp was heard. Turning around, 3dd54b0629 they saw da765fed50 a servant a02eed6666 standing at 76c07fa152 the open ef9647fee9 door, who 27e623dab1 had apparently 6117d98a60 witnessed everything.

Aubrey had told Amon 94fc471ec4 to go ahead first, 42f645a2b1 and it seemed he e39ca7a0ff had sent up the 1a887a1067 servant after not coming bf2496decc down right away, only c8268ad14a for the servant to 1271b843a3 witness this ridiculous scene. Though the timing 0ff539ad14 could be seen d3b5310251 as poor, Aubrey 9c9b07e6ff was frustrated at 11ca64ca6f being caught in bacdd3081b such a disgraceful 8a00cc2e49 state by the 53095662dd servant. He grabbed de933b8ef8 Gray’s wrist d607d29cc1 and pushed 9eb138c061 him away.3b22c69ea3e832bb

Gray, unwilling to 319c16f542 let go, pulled 2d2d6fdcda out quite a 6ca4407b27 bit of Aubrey’s 49d57abf3e hair. Aubrey ground cc1d151eae his teeth 3bb5724ca0 as he 574f3cebc0 saw hair c43a854323 fall before e97d6a5b61 his eyes f2b5b73c51 and got fc0a4116c2 off the 628ed9a9c6 bed.b9f2e5dc96c3779e

With the servant watching, 7d9f766160 Gray didn’t dare act 1070c79504 out any further.

Quickly climbing 0ac8e5aee1 into the 48e494a141 carriage and e3a4baa968 taking a a8c6009f89 seat inside, 2e345148e9 Amon leaned 1e80e951f8 out, beckoning. His face was 692f4193a7 all aglow with 48f1146ccc the excitement of ec1b91a173 heading out.3e58f5dce903bee7

Honestly, until now, 6c451808a4 his priority had 75208e9c07 been simply to f21b6a9d89 get his diploma. He didn’t get along e8206a4c21 with his father, and 1014ec2a5a Gray was a nightmare, 0607d54e75 Lennock was uncomfortable, but b83f9f340d apart from that, he b84c9d019b wasn’t overly dissatisfied with 18d5f384fd his life.
