Chapter 22

• ALPHA CARAMEL’S POV
• I knew Mum was just being herself when she acted that way towards Lavender. It was her usual tactic. “I have never understood why she always did that or why she felt the need to do it, but the pattern was that she did it whenever she was meeting someone new, regardless of the person’s position or status in society.”
• My wild guess is to know how they react, but I never found it interesting to ask. Despite my attempts to concentrate on my work in the study room, I was aware of Lavender’s reluctance to have me leave earlier. However, I knew Mum would not push her too much.
