om the Stuart womenfolk and clenched his trembling hand into a fist.
His older sister at that time was much more violent than usual.
She had just bawled in front of the whole family and suddenly became fierce after realizing how embarrassing she had been.
People nearing forty truly turn nasty when they try to hide their embarrassment.
What he experienced that day was a prime example.
And his mother, on the other hand, silently snapped at him for real at one point, scary.

 

“Sorry, he isn’t in a good frame of mind today.
Don’t mind it.”

 

George apologized to the student who had come to talk to them before urging his younger brother to head to the classroom.

 

“N-No, you’re too kind… !”

“Please tell us the truth! It worries me so much that I’m about to go crazy!”

 

Francesca pressed George and William to explain the rumor about Emma during lunch break in the courtyard they usually hung out.

Marion lifted George’s chin up and peered right at his face.
Like Francesca and the twins, she didn’t seem to believe that Emma was all right.

 

“Hold on! Marion-sama, don’t grab my chin like that… My heart will flutter!”

 

Marion’s handsome aura was about to awaken George’s inner maiden.
