Chapter 6

“Sterling,” Paige said quietly, watching as the boy pushed his lunch around on his plate.

“Sterling.” He didn't answer. “Sterling.” She sighed. “Since when were you silent?”

He pursed his lip. “If I give him the silent tweatment, will he change his mind?”

She blinked. “What?”

“My Papa.” He dropped his fork and looked up at her, his lower lip pursed in thought. “If I give him the silent tweatment, do you think he'll send her home?”

“Sterling...” She released a deep breath. “Remember that talk we had the other day? The one about your papa being happy?” He nodded. “Well... don't you think he can be happy with Lady Patricia?”

Sterling snorted. “No. She's mean.” He leaned forward and whispered loudly. “She said

something mean to me.”

“Oh?”

“Mm-hm. She called me... button nosed.”

Paige quickly swallowed the laugh that threatened to spill out of her. “I think she was saying you were cute.”

He blinked a couple of times. “Oh.” Then he shrugged and took a bite of his lunch. “Paige?”

“Hm?”

“What's... boring school?”

She frowned. “What?”

“What is boring school?” He cocked his head to the side, a perplexed look coming to his face.

“Sounds... boring. I don't wanna go there!”

“Whoa whoa, hold on!” She was on her feet in an instant. “Who said anything about boarding school to you?”

He raised his eyes towards the ceiling. “Well, Papa-”

And that was all she needed to hear before she was storming from the room. She didn't know

why the thought of someone, including his royal Dukeness, threatening to send Sterling to Boarding School completely and entirely infuriated her. After all that talk about how his son is the last thing he has in the world! About how he doesn't want to relive his past because he doesn't want to risk losing his son! And now he... where is he!?

“Adrian Channon!” She called as soon as she spotted him.

He spun around, his eyes widening at the sight of her aggravated, if not angry, face. “Paige?

What is-”

“How could you!?” She walked straight up to him and poked a finger into his chest. “I thought you were better then that!”

He stared at her bewildered. “What are you-”

“After all that talk! And that speech! And... it was all basically a lie! ”

“What on earth-”

“Don't you interrupt me, Adrian. ”

He instantly snapped his mouth closed. I think I've missing something... He watched as she started to pace, a rambled rant spewing from her like angry waves. Her blue eyes flashed and her cheeks were tinted a deep red. Ever so slowly, a smile tugged at the corner of his lips. He wasn't listening to a word she was saying, he was more watching the way she rolled her eyes every few sentences. The way she puffed out her cheeks before letting out her breath in a whoosh. And how she occasionally scrunched up her nose, much like Sterling did when he was displeased.

“Are you listening to a word I am saying!?”

A chuckle escaped him, which only seemed to infuriate her more. “I'm sorry, no I wasn't.” He crossed his arms.
