Chapter Fifteen

Brayden was quite disappointed when Evelyn returned to the dining room to say Bennett had taken ill for the evening and went to his bed. Brayden didn’t think it was like Bennett to do so without saying a proper goodbye. Perhaps it was worse than Evelyn had lead on.

“Poor chap,” Brayden said.

Alice smiled to herself. She had a feeling it was something to do with what she had told Evelyn earlier, and she was glad. Alice relaxed a bit more and spent most of the evening chatting to Damian about what books she had been reading since living with Brayden. Jon and Evelyn wanted to know more about Alice and asked several questions about Brayden’s comfort regarding going from being a young, single, multi-millionaire, to being a those and a father overnight.

“I feel fulfilled. I think I feel I can justify a lot of things because Alice hasn’t experienced a fraction of privilege before now, so I can share that with her,” he said.

“You haven’t said about her schooling. Are you going to enroll her at Kings?” Evelyn asked.

“She’s done with school,” Brayden said, trying to hide any sense of uneasiness around the subject. He wouldn’t otherwise and he didn’t care that the situation may be judged by others, but he did care about Jon and Evelyn’s opinion.

“She’s hardly a junior,” Jon said.

“No, Sir, she’s . . . she finished with school two years ago. She’s eighteen now,” Brayden said.

Evelyn and Jon looked each other and then at Alice.

“Brayden, should I be worried about you, son?” Jon asked.

“No, Sir,” Brayden said, chuckling. “Not at all.”

“We thought she didn’t look any older than eleven or twelve,” Evelyn said.

“Good. That’s how I want it to look,” Brayden said, feeling as though he were regaining a bit of control.

“Is this a mid-twenties crisis, darling?” Evelyn asked, putting a hand on his knee.

“I’m past mid-twenties, Aunty Evelyn,” Brayden said.

Brayden had been referring to Bennett and Damian’s parents as ‘Sir’ and ‘Mrs. Fowler’ for nearly a few years until Evelyn insisted he call her Aunt Evelyn, and for the last ten years it was still ‘Sir’ and ‘Aunty Evelyn.’

“You can’t imagine what her mother was like. She was horrible to her; she’s never even met her father. She hasn’t the capacity at the moment to function in my household properly, not without being embarrassed by her own ignorance, and it isn’t her fault. But how could I present her to anyone in our circle without her being criticised rather openly. I know how this lot works. I couldn’t bear that. So I told her that because her knowledge and behaviour of etiquette was that of a ten-year-old, and she can pass for it, that would be her age and I would raise her from that point. She needs this, and I feel as though she will gain a little bit of what was wrongfully stolen from her childhood,” Brayden said, looking at Jon and then Evelyn.

“Brayden, your mother would be so proud of how loving your heart is,” Evelyn said, and leaned over to give him a kiss on the cheek.
