Kenton quickly masked his thoughts with a forced smile. â Taylor, why didnât you tell me that Mr. Reuben is feeling better? I could have prepared a comfortable chair for him.â
âThereâs no need to trouble yourself.â Reuben glanced at him, clearly establishing boundaries as an elder. âMy health has been a concern of yours for some time now. But from now on, thereâs no need to worry. Just proceed with the Chamber of Commerce as usual.â @@novelbin@@
With this, Kentonâs eyes darkened with a trace of hostility. Reuben was still trying to issue orders as if the Wray family were still at the Whitman familyâs mercy. Clearly, he hadnât realized things had changed.
