He couldn't wait for Aubrey to come back.
However, what Miles J Wentworth was waiting for wouldn't happen until an hour later.
Until then he had to suffer through endless talks about the good "old days" with Grandma Bella.
Aubrey would come back much later unkempt and out of breath. Her cheeks were flushed and her lips were red.
Wentworth could hardly control his anger at the sight of her like this. Aubrey looked like she had been thoroughly loved. In truth, Wentworth wanted to kill Rhyland. He wanted to tear Rhyland apart limb from limb. But Wentworth had to keep the polite smile and gentle expression on his face. He was ever so kind and chivalrous Profesor Wentworth after all.
"Goodness, what happened to you?!" Grandma Bella said worriedly when she saw Aubrey's appearance at the front door.
