After breakfast, Emmelyn asked Horatio if it was possible to have a separate chamber for Harlow since she was used to having her own place with her nanny, and as their parents, they wanted to keep the same dynamic.
She tried to keep a straight face so that Horatio wouldn't think too much of this request. She didn't want Horatio to think she just wanted to get rid of her daughter so she could have an uninterupted sex with her husband.
"We will stay with her until she is asleep, of course," Emmelyn added. "We just want to make sure she will have a nice rest in her own bed, because you know... adults move so much in bed..."
Cough cough.
Okay, that didn't come out well, she thought. Gosh.. this is embarassing. Emmelyn felt her cheeks heated.
Fortunately, the royal butler was not dumb. He understood what Emmelyn was trying to say without actually saying it openly. He knew it was not easy to be in her position. So, Horatio smiled and nodded respectfully.
