Jeffrey continued to follow the servant.
"No wonder Bell made such a big mistake. This girl does have the capital to make people give up thinking and just want to hold onto her at a certain moment."
Daphne, who had been focused on the fish, didn't notice that she was being observed by another man. She played in the water for a while, feeling a bit bored, then climbed out of the pond and shook the water off her hands and feet.
Lucia has been holding a towel on the side. When she saw that Daphne was done playing, she stepped forward to help wipe her hands and feet.
"Miss, after playing with the fish, there will be a strong fishy smell on your body. Do you want to go back and take a bath?"
"Okay," Daphne nodded in response to her actions.
In the study, Jeffrey and Miller sat on either side of the coffee table in the corner.
After finishing the discussion on business matters, Jeffrey took a sip of tea and brought up the events from a few months ago: "Mr. Vanthro, I also want to apologize to you for the foolish actions of Bell. I hope his actions will not affect the friendship between our two families."
Upon hearing this name, Miller, holding his tea, gave a cold snort and said, with a mix of truth and falsehood, "The one you should truly apologize to is not me. Daphne, who just started anew, has not had the courage to leave the house since encountering him."
Jeffrey followed up with a punchline: "I was really out of line. May I personally apologize to Miss Vanja?"
Miller paused, turned to Jeffrey with a sincere look in his eyes, and then, as if struck by a thought, his face darkened.
"Did you just meet Daphne in the garden, Mr. William?"
"I was fortunate to catch a glimpse of her, but unfortunately didn't get a chance to speak."
"Oh?" Miller squinted, his fingers rubbing the cup handle. "Mr. William, do you have something to say to Daphne?"
Jeffrey deliberately ignored the hostility in his eyes and tone, and replied with a gentle smile, "I just want to sincerely apologize to Miss Vanja about Bell, and then have a chat with the young lady, hoping to be a normal friend."
Normal friends?
The surrounding temperature dropped slightly, and Miller's gloomy eyes stared at him darkly, as if they could see the thick black smoke rising behind him.
After a while, he took a sip of tea, his hostility subsided, and he gently refused: "I'm afraid Daphne is not very willing to see you. Besides family members, she is not very willing to talk to men outside the house."
Miller's polite refusal gave Jeffrey some other ideas.
If he really has been unwilling to let his sister meet outsiders, from a different perspective, perhaps this Miss Vanja temporarily lacks the opportunity and qualifications to become the Vanzhou Family Master mother.
Jeffrey crossed his hands and said with a smile, "Mr. Vanthro probably doesn't want Miss to stay behind forever for this unpleasant reason, right? If possible, I would be very willing to take this opportunity to help her come out. Of course, I won't force it, I just hope that Vanthro will help me ask Miss if she is willing."
The implied meaning in his words made Miller's eyes completely cold, and the pressure on Jeffrey was unreservedly applied.
Jeffrey met his gaze, maintaining an unchanged demeanor.
I don't know how long the confrontation lasted, but suddenly the handle of the teacup broke, and the porcelain cup fell to the floor, making a fragile sound of shattering.
Miller pulled a cold, emotionless smile.
"It's not that it's impossible, but I really respect my sister's wishes."
"I'm willing to have someone ask for her opinion. If Daphne doesn't want to come over herself, I hope you won't insist."
Miller shook the bell at hand and said to Louis outside, "Go and ask Daphne if she is willing to meet Mr. William to apologize for the last incident."
Upon hearing this, Louis was somewhat surprised. However, he did not show it and respectfully bowed, replying, "Yes, my lord."
Then she turned and left Miller's room. Daphne had already taken Lucia back to the room to bathe. It wasn't long after she finished showering and drying her hair that she heard a knock at the door.
Dong dong dong
These three low and respectful sounds definitely did not come from her brother. Daphne's heart skipped a beat, then sank again.
She turned and instructed Lucia, "Go ask Louis if there's anything he needs."
Lucia opened the door, and Louis nodded slightly at her before coming in to say, "The master of the house needs to inquire about the young lady's opinion."
Daphne walked out of the bedroom, looking puzzled. "What does my brother want to ask me about?"
"Mr. William is visiting and would like to apologize for the last time he disturbed the young lady. The head of the household sent me to ask if you would be willing to meet with him?"
"William?"
Daphne When I hear this name, I think of the blond man who forcefully kissed her hand last time.
She frowned and was about to refuse, but then suddenly remembered Mrs. White's recent emphasis on seizing the opportunity to practice receiving guests.
She hesitated for a moment, kicking her feet, and tentatively asked, "Should I still go and see?" Louis looked at Miss with a complicated look in his eyes, but because he was not so sure about Miller's meaning, hesitated for a moment and still did not remind Daphne.
He took Daphne to the study and knocked on the door, "Master, Miss Daphne is here."
The air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Miller responded with a vague tone, "You're here?"
"....Yes." Louis suddenly felt like he might be in trouble.
Miller looked at the spring-like expression on Jeffrey's face and said word by word, "Since you're here, come in."
Daphne lowered her head and waited for Louis to push the door open and scan the inside. She glanced past her brother's profile and paused when she saw Jeffrey's face.
