''I am sorry, Aunty, but mother never spoke about anyone named Diana Mendes.'' Damien said after thinking about her name for a while. Apart from his real grandfather, late grandmother, Aunt Amelia and Uncle Gael, his mother does not talk about any other person.
'I figured she wouldn't talk about anyone from the capital.' Smiling, Diana revealed an expression that was sad, but understanding at the same time. She understood the former duchess would not want to revisit the capital where she suffered for things that were not her fault and it was her sad that she had to hide because nowhere was safe for her and the child, not even her home in the south.
''But you know, child, I am not an aunty. I am a married woman.'' She showed him her silver ring around her fourth finger on her left hand.
''Then I am sorry ma'am.'' Damien bowed again.
