Chapter 290

Winter slowly turned toward the old man and found him staring fixedly on her chest. She became nervous and tightened her collar in response—could he be some pervert? Frank turned when he heard the old man's voice, and frowned when he saw what the old man was doing. Kurt hurried back to the old man right then. "Is there a problem, Mr. Looman?" Iker Looman was actually a famous jeweler based in Riverton. It would be bad if word got out, what with the way Iker was staring at Winter. Iker, however, ignored Kurt and hurried to Winter's side. "Miss, may I ask where you got that pendant from?" Winter lowered her eyes in turn to glance at the pendant before her chest. "Mr. Lawrence gave it to me for my birthday," she said, turning toward Frank. Kurt then introduced Iker. "Mr. Lawrence, this is Iker Looman, the second eldest son of Riverton's Loomer family. He's a famous jeweler in this region." In fact, he was just taking shop with Iker, only to be surprised by the geezer's… tastes.
