Claire turned her gaze and smiled gently, "Yes, I have a brother." She completely disregarded past grievances and hoped that the princess could let go of her resentment.
Her response eased Catherine's embarrassment to some extent.
Catherine thought to herself, this girl looks quite smart, she probably won't tell Mr. Marsh about the trouble I caused her, right?
If she did, then that would be really... sigh, how troublesome.
Catherine felt regretful. She had let jealousy cloud her judgment before, but now that she had calmed down, all she wanted was to hold onto Ivan's thigh tightly!
On the other hand, Claire was a novelist. She often created characters, so she could perceive the princess's inner thoughts from her subtle expressions.
The siblings had a cup of tea with the princess and then Ivan bid farewell to her, taking Claire with him.
Throughout the entire encounter, Claire never had a falling out with Catherine. Her attitude remained gentle as if the previous grievances never existed.
This relieved the middle-aged woman to some extent.
Ivan took Claire back to the accommodation arranged by Catherine earlier.
"Mr. Marsh, something happened today that I want to tell you." As soon as they entered the gate, Claire changed her lively and spirited demeanor. She suppressed her smile, and her face suddenly became a bit heavy.
"Go ahead," Ivan said.
She sighed lightly, "Prince Taylor has been clinging to me. He followed me all the way to the king's palace and even to my study. I explained to him multiple times that I need my own space to study."
Listening to her, Ivan realized that the situation was not ideal, but he didn't interrupt. He just looked at her with a puzzled expression.
