The Lady Nun Seeks Justice (Eliza Stonor) novel Chapter 286

286.Chapter 286

Dylan looked at Malaki, confusion written all over his face. “Malaki, what’s going on? It’s me, Dylan! I thought you and my grandparents, I never imagined you’d still be alive!”

Dylan thought, ‘I’ve finally found him, so why is he in such a hurry to leave? Does Malaki not want to see me?‘

Dylan felt a strange unease rise in him. He fixed his gaze on Malaki, speaking more forcefully. “Malaki, get off the carriage. We haven’t seen each other in such a long time. Let’s find somewhere to sit and talk.”

Malaki met his gaze, sighing deeply before finally agreeing, “Fine.”

A short while later, they were sitting together in a private room at a nearby restaurant.

They were supposed to be sitting together, but it didn’t quite feel that way. After entering the private room, Dylan casually ordered some food and then turned to look at Malaki, who was still standing at a distance.

“Malaki, I’m no longer the second son of the Stonor family. You don’t have to stand like that. Come, sit with me.”

“No, Lord Dylan,” Malaki replied, his voice heavy. “I’ve always felt unworthy to face you. Even now that I’m here, I feel it even more. Please, let me stand and answer your questions.”

Dylan blinked, not understanding. “What are you saying, Malaki? When my grandparents fell, it was because of the rebels. It had nothing to do with you. You’ve survived and made it this far. You should be happy, not ashamed.”

“Do you think I brought you here to accuse you of something?” Dylan asked with a smile.

“If that were the case, don’t worry, Malaki. Your loyalty to my grandparents‘ family is unmatched, and I trust your character. So no matter how you escaped back then, I won’t hold it against you.”
