“Mom, what are you talking about?” Janet complained. “You’re putting her in a difficult position. I told you last time–we’re adults with our own choices. If Sebastian chooses Everly, that’s his decision. Forcing me into the middle of it just makes things awkward for everyone.
Martha shot Janet a frustrated look. “You child, I’m only trying to set you two up because Sebastian is such a catch. Besides, the alliance hasn’t happened yet, has it? I’m also doing this for Uriel’s sake. If that Everly really marries into the family, she’ll be dealing with a headache. every single day.”
Just as the words left her mouth, a delicate female voice rang out. “So this is where you are. I’ve been looking for you for ages.” The group looked up to see Everly approaching in her high heels, a sweet smile plastered on her face.
Uriel looked up at Everly and asked flatly, “Did you need something?”
Everly sat down beside Uriel and said demurely, “I mainly wanted to have a private chat with you. If you two don’t mind?” She glanced toward Martha and Janet.
“I don’t believe Miss Everly and I have anything to discuss,” Uriel declined coldly.
Everly smiled. “How could that be? Grandfather specifically asked me to come over and pay my respects to you.”
Sensing the undercurrents between them, Martha said awkwardly, “Since you two need to talk privately, Janet and I will head back out. Remember to call me if you need anything.”
As Martha stood up to leave, Everly’s voice turned sharp. “Martha, if your daughter is having trouble finding a husband, I can introduce her to some boyfriends. But since he and I are about to be engaged, I suggest you weigh your words carefully from now on. You know exactly where your family stands in Murica. It would be a shame if a slip of the tongue brought unnecessary trouble to your household.”
“What is that supposed to mean?” Martha asked, staring at Everly in anger.
Everly stood up and stepped toward Martha, a mocking smile on her lips. “It’s a warning. Don’t go coveting people you have no business coveting. Otherwise, it’s hard to guarantee you won’t stir up a disaster.”
Everly had originally intended to have a proper talk with Uriel in hopes of being accepted. Instead, she had overheard this mother and daughter pair urging Uriel to have Sebastian reject the marriage.
