Chapter 21: Not a Single Normal Person in The
Windsor
“Alex, bringing a woman like that home is sure to anger grandfather,” Cecilia warned, attempting to dissuade him by invoking Master Windsor.
“Grandfather will like her.”
Alexander’s chilly response was followed by him nonchalantly taking Isabella’s hand and heading towards the main hall.

woman before him was nearly at her wit’s end with his beloved grandson.
Perhaps too excited or simply because
