Chapter 63

"Mama, it is unusual that Papa retired so early." Sander looked dejected because Desmond only kissed him a good night and left to retire to his chamber. He was expecting that they would have fun tonight but Desmond didn't seem to be in the mood right now. I gently combed his hair after I tucked him into his blanket. "Papa is tired, little man. He will be alright tomorrow." Desmond didn't say a word after I retorted a harsh truth to him earlier. I was not a fool. He knew that I had warned him in the past that if that case should happen again, there would be no second chances. I forgave Desmond for what happened the first time he slept with the courtesan. Indeed, someone used an aphrodisiac incense by that time. He was not in his sanity when he committed such an act. But... the part where he committed that act towards Hazel... That was something I could not ever forgive. No matter what actions he would do in the near future to coax me, my heart wouldn't be swayed on Desmond anymor
