Chapter 24

• Martha wished the earth could open up to swallow her. Everyone kept looking at her funnily and exchanging side comments. She looked at her husband, he looked unperturbed by the new development, while Theodore had already taken off his jacket and had distanced himself from them.
• The king walked up to them. "Lord and lady Dixon, welcome", they all paid their respect to the king. "You must have been misled by the invitation, it's just a simple dinner with friends, I apologize for the inconvenience", the king said.
• "It's okay your highness, there is no need to apologize, it was also our fault for the misunderstanding", Theodore's father, Lord Dixon reassured the king.
