In the dining chamber, Eloise greeted Zayne and sat down.
Eloise took a sip of water and tried not to question why Zayne was staring at her.
Fortunately, Jane was always talkative.
"Why are you staring at her? My brother won't like it if he comes here and sees how you are watching his wife. Why are you here?" Jane asked, puzzled by Zayne's presence. "I heard you were dead."
"Who said that? Wait, you heard I was dead and didn't come to look for me?" Zayne asked, disappointed.
"I was going to ask Damien, but then I got distracted by dresses. Besides, if you had died, then Damien wouldn't have been in the estate or in the mood to get married," said Jane.
"At least you notice how much your brother cares for me. Now, onto bigger issues. What happened to Kyle?" Zayne asked, unable to focus due to Kyle lying his head on the table. "Is he sleeping?"
