"Isn't it meant to only be family?" Agatha commented, displeased by Damien's arrival.
"I was informed that your husband's niece has married Lord Hawthorne; therefore, he is family. If he wasn't considered family, then you would not be seated here," said Errol Knight, a man of the court.
Damien pulled out Eloise's chair and helped her to sit.
Agatha rolled her eyes, believing it to be an act.
Damien took his seat, and with everyone present, the will reading started.
"I first want to offer my condolences to the family of Thomas Wilkins. It is always unfortunate when we have to gather for death. I want to remind everyone seated of the importance of respecting the wishes of the dead," Errol said, looking at both couples. "It would be good to leave without fighting."
"My husband and I can respect Thomas's wishes," Agatha promised.
"So will we," Eloise said.
