"What to do?" Mrs. Cress whispered to her husband. She has turned her head down and sneaking a side glance at him while whispering from a distance.
It was not hearable but by reading her lips, he was clear about her question but unfortunately, he had no idea, too.
What if the Reynard's get offended by their words of refusal and decides to throw their daughter back in the prison. Then they will be in no condition to do anything!
They both let out a sigh while the Reynard's continued to offer them sweets and snacks on the congratulatory event.
"Ahem". Mr. Cress gathered his courage, coughed once to bring everyone attention at him.
"What's wrong, Mr. Cress?".
A question came from Mr. Reynard and things become awfully awkward.
"Just say it. Since we need to than we have to".
His wife held his arm, nudging it while whispering to force him on focusing on the real things.
Why won't you do it instead of me.
