"Good Morning Melissa, sit down, we need to have a talk with you."
The Duchess said, greeting Lady Melissa whilst giving her a smile, her tone sounding both strict and caring.
"Good Morning, what is it?"
Lady Melissa greeted her mother back, acting clueless.
"So, we've realized how we've been treating you these past few days, and your father and I would like to say something."
The Duchess said as she and her daughter made eye contact with each other.
"We'd like to apologize to you, Melissa."
The Duke said, speaking up.
"About?"
Lady Melissa asked him, wanting to know whether what the both of them truly did wrong was.
"We've been treating you like you're a child, and truth be told, it's hard to see you as an adult, it's hard to believe that our lovely daughter is now already of age when it was just as if yesterday she was only five."
The Duke said, as the Duchess suddenly continued.
