Wyndham Howell didn't expect that she would reject him, and for this particular reason, he was taken aback. But he was, after all, mature and stable. Only staying surprised for a moment, he quickly recovered, and politely said, "I apologize for my oversight. You haven't seen each other for two days, so you must want to talk alone. That's alright, we can make plans some other time."
Tobias's beautiful phoenix eyes twitched, but he didn't say anything. Last time Enna had discussed Wyndham Howell at length with him; now, realizing that Wyndham wouldn't become his stepfather, he definitely wouldn't help an outsider.
Enna didn't want to make things awkward for him, so she nodded, "Mhm."
Wyndham Howell gently looked at her, then took Rose's hand, "Rose, let's go home."
Rose had been watching Enna closely with her round eyes. Only when she heard her dad say they were going home did she react, looking up and asking, "Isn't Brother Tobias coming with us?"
