Chapter 744
Robarte took a seat in front of her, the smile that looked kind could have fooled any person who met him for the first time . Pushing his glasses up his nose, he asked,
"You told you wanted to talk to me," he said diving into the topic .
Penny nodded her head, placing the glass next to her on the stand, she said, "I wanted to ask if you have seen or heard anything from Grace," she didn't know why she didn't remember it before stepping into this house but now that she thought about it, she came to remember Grace speaking about him of how she was going to make her and Robarte meet each other the day she had dragged her by a collar to the Isle Valley .
"Grace Quinn?" a questionable look passed the man's face as if he had no clue about her at all, "I don't know . I don't think I have heard from her for a very long time now . Is everything alright?" he asked her with a concerned look .
She could tell that her acting skills came from her mother's side now .
"She hasn't returned home for almost four days now and all of us are getting worried about where she went . We went to meet people who she was acquainted with but so far we haven't heard anything from anyone . I recollected this evening when I was passing by that she had once mentioned about you, of how handsome of a person you are and that she had tea with you . "
Even with the scarce light where Penny's eyes had finally adjusted in the darkness, she could tell that Robarte was surprised that it was what Grace had told her which in reality didn't happen . All Penny knew was that Grace knew Robarte . She couldn't believe that little detail had slipped past her mind . Maybe it was because of what she had gone through that day, the shame with humiliation along with the pain of being beaten and dragged on the streets had made her forget this piece of information from her mind .
If she wasn't wrong, Grace had decided to give her away to Robarte .
Robarte chuckled, trying to be humble he said, "Well, we did have tea together and often met up in soirees . I invited her here and we have had the time to talk but I don't think I entertained the girl after that . "
"Why not?"
"I think she was coming too strong on me . No offense but sometimes she would complain a lot . I know I shouldn't tell this but she used to complain about you to me and her brother and the rest of the family all the time . Families are supposed to stick together," Robarte said to her .
What a hypocrite, thought Penny to herself .
"Yes, a family should stick to each other . A shame that some people don't follow it and decide to stab their very own blood, isn't it?" Penny said to see him nod, but she could tell his eyes were calculating her and the words she just spoke . A fight between them was inevitable and it would happen before the time of dawn, she was merely buying time but his presence was making her skin crawl .
