Chapter Ten

Sebastian

“HOW IS MISS NINA adjusting?” Charles asks when I return to the table.

“Don’t look now, Charles, but it almost sounds like you like her.”

He smiles and shifts his shoulders. “She’s grown on me. Despite the immense pressure of what she’s walked into here, she’s learned quickly and maintains not only her sense of humor but a backbone, as well. I’d say that’s admirable.”

“I would, too.” I push my hand through my hair. I know Nina’s exhausted, and I’m right there with her. It’s been a trying few days of meetings and responsibilities. Today’s talk with my father, Frederick, and Callum had me both frustrated and elated.

And I have another meeting with the king tomorrow.

“She’s doing well,” I reply at last. “At least, given what she shows me. She’s knackered, and I’m positive she’s overwhelmed. Who wouldn’t be? But she’s calm, and so far has been more than willing to go with the flow. I’m proud of her.”

“You should be,” Nick says. Nick’s not one to speak up often, so when he does, I pay close attention. “Those women were brutal today. I wanted to take a few of them over my knee several times. If she already held the title, they wouldn’t have dared to say half of the things they did. They wanted to hurt her, but Nina kept her chin up and ignored them beautifully.”

“I’m surprised they were so free with their words with you standing nearby.”

“I’m invisible,” he says with a half-grin. “They’re used to me. I watch but don’t say anything, and then they forget all about me. It’s almost as if they think because I don’t talk, I must be deaf.”

“I’ll want a list of those who behaved the worst,” I say. “I don’t know what I’ll do with it, aside from being aware of them.”

“I can do that,” Nick says with a nod.

“What do you want to do about the Cunningham Falls house?” Charles asks. “Shall I see to her cottage being put on the market?”

“No.” I shake my head and pin Charles with a stare. “Do not do that. I don’t own that house, and she doesn’t want to sell. She’ll probably use it as an investment property, or we can always use it as a guest home.”

“Sir,” Charles says with a nod.

“But I am going to speak to Max tomorrow about buying his house. I’ll buy it as a wedding gift to Nina.”

I ignore the surprised look from Charles. Yes, several million pounds in real estate is an extravagant wedding gift.

But she deserves it.

“We won’t be returning to London immediately after our honeymoon,” I add to both of their dismay. “We’ll holiday and spend a couple of months in Montana.”

“Sir, we haven’t had a chance to scope out this new house, fit it for cameras and security. And I have to talk to my staff to find men to work over there. Most of my employees have families here. This will take some time.”

“I know someone,” Nick says. “Liam Cunningham.”

Charles’ eyes narrow.
