I Shall Break Off Our Engagement For You
[Chapter 6]
Translated by: ME
The Ashfield residence's party was a daytime garden party, and not only Felicia and my parents, but also my ten-year-old sister Rosemary attended, making it a family of four.
I don't know if Maisie and Silas held a party or a tea party.
Judging from how things are, I think Silas was probably railroaded by Maisie into attending some kind of event.
(Come to think of it, Silas is my fiancé...)
It's difficult to expect Maisie to be considerate enough to avoid meeting Silas when Felicia isn't around.
I don't know why, but Maisie is abnormally oblivious to "things that people don't bother to say."
She's so dense that you almost suspect she's doing it on purpose.
Unless she's explicitly told "that's not okay," she casually does things that most people wouldn't normally do.
And this "normal" is a vague standard.
Asking why she can do such a thing, or why she would do such a thing, is also classified as "something you wouldn't bother to say."
It's all trivial things.
Even if Maisie ordered Felicia's family's maid to prepare tea, you can't "bother" to fault her for it.
Even if you say something there, the conversation will drift in the direction of "was tea not needed?"
If you overcome that and point out that the problem is "ordering someone else's maid around without permission," then Felicia's narrow-mindedness will be highlighted instead.
Even if it's not about being narrow-minded, but just stating what is "normal" and "obvious."
Maisie would probably say, "What's wrong with it, just a little bit?"
Or she might look perplexed and say, "How could I get scolded for something like that?"
Maisie will meet Silas today without Felicia present.
It seemed almost certain.
And even if someone were to blame her for it, she would be stunned like a victim, saying, "I didn't mean to."
(It's too mysterious...)
The fact that there's a possibility she really doesn't understand anything is truly baffling.
"Sister, we'll be there soon."
Rosemary called out to me, and I turned my face forward.
While gazing at the scenery outside the carriage window and vaguely thinking about trivial things, we had arrived in front of the Ashfield residence's gate.
My father got out first and helped my mother, Rosemary, and Felicia out of the carriage.
My mother and Rosemary both have platinum blonde hair and blue eyes like Felicia.
Their features are also very similar, so the three of them often attracted attention when they were together.
Especially ten-year-old Rosemary is everyone's darling.
A daytime garden party where he could bring Rosemary was a welcome social occasion for my father.
"Nicholas, good of you to come."
"Edgar, thank you for inviting us."
The Earl of Ashfield and my father exchanged a firm handshake.
The Earl jokingly offered his congratulations.
"Congratulations on Felicia's engagement. I was hoping for my Barney, so it's a bit of a shame."
"I'm disappointed too."
My father laughed.
"But Barney is the Ashfield family's important heir. We can't have him come to our house as an adopted son-in-law."
