Chapter 28

Marcus smiled up cocky at the wise old woman "good morning to you too my lady kissing her wrinkled hand", yes, yes the dowager said impatiently with her hand's.

"You have grown rather handsome" said the Dowager inspecting his fine pressence.

"You approve I hope my lady" suddenly cheeky.

"You my lord are a rogue" telling him so.

"At your service madame" while undressing Eva with his eyes.

"Have you met my granddaughter Eva" the dowager questioned him knowing hat he had.

Eva looked up at Marcus The Maquess of wolverton with a scowl on her pretty face.

"Yes I do know her but never introduced properly my lady, forgive me but your granddaughter is a beauty indeed!"

Eva hurumped.

"I had the pleasure of her throwing up on my hand made Italian leather shoes a week ago."

I'll show him.

Eva's back grew rigid snapping "then you should not have bought Italian expensive shoes in the first place my lord" defensively that was very stupid of you. Eva's eyes flashed in defiance at the charming Marquess.

Marcus chucked his eyes growing darker in response.

"Eva!", the dowager countess sharply cried out "don't talk to his lordship quite so sharply my dear."

"Sorry grandmama but I'm not going to apologise for throwing up on his shoes that was not my fault."

Marcus bow's his head at Eva's comment. "Forgive me my lady for being bold and ungentlemanly with my comment."

"See Eva dear he apologized"

"Apology accepted" Eva replied coolly by his rudeness about her throwing up on his expensive shoe's.

Swine her head said.

"Maybe you sir can make it up to my granddaughter"

His body stills How may I help you my lady?

Take Eva to the theatre at covenant gardens my lord her smile evil.

Marcus cleared his throat knowing the old lady landed him in his own trap!

Damn double damn how can I take a lady out full view of the ton watching?

"My lady I'd love to take your granddaughter to the theatre, Would be my upmost pleasure staring up at Eva, his beautiful blue eyes flash.

Eva just sat in silence thinking "How could my own grandmother do this to me?"

"Splendid" the countess clap's her hands together in glee.

"I will let my son know that you will be calling round in the next few days my lord?"

Marcus's face went rigid hiding his contempt for women planning to tie him down.

Eva stared into his deep blue eyes now an icy pool.

Opps He is not a happy boy played by my grandmama.

The dowager turned her head staring up at Phillip "maybe you too can take Magdalena to the theatre as well?"

Marcus had never seen anything resembling this in his life. These girls must be desperate.

Phillip Earl of Aston cleared his throat "um maybe your ladyship, I am unsure of where I'll be in the next few days as I will need to travel to my home estate to check on my tenants" Phillip replies carefully to the cunning countess!
