Kyle panicked, fearing Quinn might do the worst now that Damien was no longer in the estate. Now wasn't the time for Quinn to be speaking to Eloise. In fact, he shouldn't speak to her at all.
Kyle turned to Eloise, wearing a smile that betrayed all he felt. "Eloise, would you mind if I speak to my brother before he speaks with you?"
"No, not at all. I shall be in the garden when you are ready to speak, Quinn," Eloise said, leaving the two brothers together.
Aiden eyed them closely as he followed Eloise. Something was amiss, and he intended to uncover the truth before the day was done.
"Brother, please do not tell me you intend to confess your feelings to Eloise while Damien is away. Usually, I enjoy the drama, but not when it is within our family. Now is not the best time," Kyle advised.
"Why is Damien not in the estate? I wished to speak to him as well," Quinn said, glancing past Kyle at the open front door. "Did he not return with her?"
