After Kelvin left the parlour room, Eadlin and Henry sat there, none of them said anything to the other. Henry turned his head to the side, he saw how Eadlin was blankly staring at her hand, which she placed on her lap.
"Don't let that idiot's words discourage you, he must be blind not to see beyond your injured arm. Don't worry, I will find the right man for you." He tried to cheer her up, but she didn't budge and continued to stare blankly at her arm.
"Are you alright?" He asked in concern when she didn't speak, and raised her hand to wipe her eyes as if she was crying. He really wasn't good at cheering people up. Even when his sisters would cry over something, he wouldn't know what to do, in the end he would have the maids give them some chocolate tea to cheer them up.
Henry stood up from his seat, he then took her small hand in his large rough ones, "Come with me." He said when she glanced up at him questioningly with the rim of her eyes now red.
