Gregor buttoned the cuffs of his sleeves as Eric informed him of the guests' arrival.
"They're with your parents in the living room. Miss Aster has also been informed," Eric said politely.
Lowering his arms, Gregor reached for a blue cardigan that fell just past his mid-thighs, slipping it on over his crisp white shirt and tailored trousers. Without another word, he left his room, making his way toward the living room.
As soon as he stepped inside, Isaac Westwood and Cassius Westwood rose from their seats, greeting him with firm handshakes. The exchange was warm and formal before Gregor gestured for them to sit back down.
"Aster must be on her way," Annette assured them with a composed smile. "Please, have some water. I hope the journey wasn't too difficult for either of you."
"Thank you, Lady Annette. The journey was fine," Isaac replied, taking a glass of water from the tray offered by a servant. Cassius gave a similar response as he sipped his drink.
