Seduced for Revenge: 17 - Consultation

“Uncle Tim, can I ask you something? You’re close to the Bennet family more than anyone I know, and I’ll understand if you don’t want to answer my question as it might be too intrusive, and you’re close to their family than you are to me, so it’s okay if you don’t want to tell me, but I hope you do.”

“Ginny, just tell me what’s on your mind.” Timothy rubbed his forehead as he extended his arm away from his ear to soften Regina’s shrilly voice on the phone. She babbled too much and used ‘the voice’ when she needed a favor.

Ginny had always been a talker since she was little, and when she was on her fact-finding missions, she was relentless.

“It’s about Mr. Bennet, you see.”

“Which one?” He feigned ignorance.

“Just the one who is grumpy.”

“Well, I know Myles doesn’t talk too much, and Yvan is always grumpy because of his schedule.”

“Uncle, Tim! It’s Owen, I’m asking about Owen.”

The old man smiled with amusement. He knew she was talking about Owen, but wanted her to say his name.
