Colin looked in the mirror, naked, to look for birthmarks, moles or scars that reminded him of something...but nothing came to his mind.
Violet yesterday, when everyone had gone, she spent a good part of the late evening telling him about her exploits as a child, showing him a proud, kind and playful Colin. But he would have preferred to tell him who he really was, because he didn't believe that he was like that even as an adult.
He went down to the living room, or rather a maid accompanied him to the living room, because he was lost in the rooms. As soon as she saw him, his mother went towards him and embraced him. It was a loving family, there was no denying that. And she found it comforting, so much so that she held her in her arms a little longer. And her mother accepted it with emotion.
Both Gregory and Hyacinth came towards him and embraced him.
They began to eat in a serene atmosphere and Colin observed that new family..
"Benedict?"
"Your brother was late yesterday with some other gentlemen he must have had a little drink"
"Anthony and Kate?"
"I'm at their home in Bridgerton's house, Kate yesterday she was very upset she is nearing term she needs peace of mind."
"I'm sorry you worried about me .."
Eloise entered at that moment and Colin came towards him hugging her, and saw her sister looking at him sideways.
"You haven't found your memory yet...otherwise you wouldn't have hugged me." she said looking at him fondly.
Colin smiled, something told him that Eloise would be exhaustive and forthright with her questions....and she had so many questions.
After breakfast he sat down in the living room and started probing about his past.
He starts asking about the brothers.
And he discovered that Anthony had taken over the Bridgerton house after his father's death, growing up very quickly.
Benedict had recently enrolled in art school, he was an artist.
Hyacinth and Gregory were studying and she was a compulsive embroiderer in order not to be present at all the balls, where they wanted to give him some husband.
Colin laughed heartily at this statement.
"And I…who am I…what have I done?" Colin said sadly.
And Eloise told him about her projects born during his travels. The travels were first for pleasure and to find himself, then his project with the spice merchants in India. He had created a good business and they were very proud of him.
"Is that what I am as a person?"
"Colin didn't you listen to me? You're smart, brilliant, smart and we all love you..."
But Colin felt that he didn't know everything ...
"Is that Penelope?"
"What do you want to know about Penelope?" Eloise said tensely
"Are you a friend of the family?"
"Lei Si was almost adopted by us since she was a little girl, the family doesn't treat her very well, she is very sweet she is very intelligent but very shy."
"And who is Albert?"
"He's courting Penelope, he's an Austrian baron, you know he's the one who found you."
Colin was speechless, he felt uncomfortable at those words, he didn't know why but knowing that Penelope was being courted had annoyed him ...
"He's coming to see me today, he said he'll read me something, maybe it's better to tell him not to come, I don't want to annoy her boyfriend..."
"No Colin, I don't think it's right, she's family, she can help you. I really wish you could spend some time with her, she could tell you about how much you helped her during the dances..."
Eloise liked Albert but she knew that Colin loved Penelope and maybe the only way to remember her was to be with her.
